Parquet Flooring in Dalton-in-furness

Parquet flooring is a sort of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to make a distinctive pattern over the whole of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with every individual strip painstakingly laid, but modern parquet is available in bigger tiles or planks to give the same effect. Parquet floor is an extremely stylish flooring product which is most effective in large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching design can be best exhibited. Parquet is available in a multitude of different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from a wide selection of different woods, but oak is the most common, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor comes 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 flooring is durable and demands little maintenance. It is, however, not fit for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or bend under these conditions. Parquet is commonly installed using a series of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive.
