Parquet Flooring in Clacton-on-sea

Parquet flooring is a kind of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to create a distinctive design across the whole of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with each individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet is available in larger tiles or planks to provide the same appearance. Parquet floor is an exceptionally elegant flooring product which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the attractive pattern can be best displayed. Parquet is available in a wide variety of different styles, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from a massive array of different woods, but oak is the most common, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor comes in either solid wood or engineered wood styles, the latter of which incorporate several layers of wood with a fibre board core and a top layer of the desired appearance of hardwood. Parquet flooring is durable and demands little maintenance. It is, however, not suitable for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or flex under these conditions. Parquet is usually installed utilising a number of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. An experienced parquet flooring company can recommend the most appropriate wood types and patterns for your home.
