Parquet Flooring in Cornhill-on-tweed

Parquet flooring is a sort of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to generate a distinctive pattern over the entirety of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with every individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet can be bought in larger tiles or planks to offer the same effect. 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 displayed. Parquet is available in a multitude of different patterns, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from a huge array of different woods, but oak is the most common, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor comes in either solid wood or engineered wood variations, the latter of which function several layers of wood with a fibre board core and a top layer of the desired appearance of hardwood. Parquet floor is durable and needs little maintenance. It is, however, unsuitable for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or bend under these conditions. Parquet is often installed using a series of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. An experienced parquet floor company can recommend the most appropriate wood types and designs for your home.
