Parquet Flooring in Cleator Moor

Parquet Flooring in Cleator Moor

Parquet flooring is a kind of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to generate a distinctive pattern across the whole of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with each individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet can be bought in bigger tiles or planks to offer the same appearance. Parquet floor is an extremely fashionable flooring product which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching design can be best showcased. Parquet is available in a wide variety of different styles, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from an enormous variety of different woods, but oak is the most common, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring will come in either solid wood or engineered wood types, the latter of which feature several layers of wood with a fibre board core and a top layer of the desired appearance of hardwood. Parquet floor is durable and requires little maintenance. It is, however, inappropriate for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or bend under these conditions. Parquet is generally installed using a series of tiles that are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive. A specialist parquet floor company can recommend the most suitable wood types and styles for your home.
