Parquet Flooring in Crianlarich

Parquet flooring is a type of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to make a distinctive design over the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with every individual strip painstakingly laid, but modern parquet can be purchased in bigger tiles or planks to give the same effect. Parquet floor is an extremely fashionable flooring option which works best in large rooms or hallways where the appealing design can be best exhibited. Parquet comes in numerous different styles, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from a huge selection of different woods, but oak is the most common, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring will come in either solid wood or engineered wood varieties, 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 demands little maintenance. It is, however, inappropriate for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or flex under these conditions. Parquet is usually installed by using a number of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive.
