Parquet Flooring in Drybrook

Parquet Flooring in Drybrook

Parquet flooring is a sort of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to create a distinctive design over the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with each individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet can be bought in bigger tiles or planks to give the same effect. Parquet floor is an exceptionally stylish flooring product which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the attractive pattern 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 a huge 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 demands little maintenance. It is, however, not fit for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or flex under these conditions. Parquet is usually installed utilising a number of tiles which are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive. An expert parquet floor company can recommend the most appropriate wood types and styles for your home.
