Parquet Flooring in Dyffryn Ardudwy

Parquet flooring is a variety of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to produce a distinctive pattern over the entirety of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with each individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet is available in bigger tiles or planks to give the same effect. Parquet floor is a very stylish flooring product which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the attractive design can be best displayed. Parquet comes in a wide variety of different styles, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from a massive array of different woods, but oak is the most popular, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring may come in either solid wood or engineered wood types, the latter of which incorporate several layers of wood with a fibre board core and a top layer of the desired appearance of hardwood. Parquet flooring is durable and requires little maintenance. It is, however, inappropriate for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or bend under these conditions. Parquet is usually installed utilising a number of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. An experienced parquet flooring company will be able to suggest the most appropriate wood types and patterns for your home.
