Parquet Flooring in Dunbartonshire

Parquet Flooring in Dunbartonshire

Parquet flooring is a sort of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to produce a distinctive design across the entirety of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with every individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet is available in larger tiles or planks to offer the same appearance. Parquet floor is an extremely stylish flooring product which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the appealing pattern can be best exhibited. Parquet is available in a multitude of different styles, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from a wide range of different woods, but oak is the most popular, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring will come in either solid wood or engineered wood styles, 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 by using a series of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. A specialist parquet flooring company can advise you of the most suitable wood types and patterns for your home.
