Parquet Flooring in Clynderwen

Parquet flooring is a kind of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to produce a distinctive pattern over the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with each individual strip painstakingly laid, but modern parquet can be bought in larger tiles or planks to provide the same appearance. Parquet floor is an exceptionally stylish flooring solution which is most effective in large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching design can be best displayed. Parquet is available in a wide variety of different patterns, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from a massive selection of different woods, but oak is the most popular, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring comes in either solid wood or engineered wood varieties, the latter of which function several sheets of wood with a fibre board core and a top layer of the desired appearance of hardwood. Parquet floor is durable and demands little maintenance. It is, however, unsuitable for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or flex under these conditions. Parquet is generally installed by using a number of tiles that are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive.
