Parquet Flooring in Enniskillen

Parquet flooring is a sort of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to make a distinctive pattern across the entirety of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with every individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet can be purchased in larger tiles or planks to offer the same effect. Parquet floor is a very stylish flooring option which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the appealing design can be best showcased. Parquet comes in a multitude of different styles, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from a huge selection of different woods, but oak is the most popular, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor may come in either solid wood or engineered wood varieties, the latter of which function several sheets of wood with a fibre board core and a top layer of the desired appearance of hardwood. Parquet floor is durable and requires little maintenance. It is, however, unsuitable for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or flex under these conditions. Parquet is generally installed by using a series of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive.
