Parquet Flooring in Ferryside

Parquet flooring is a kind of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to create a distinctive pattern over the entirety of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with each individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet can be bought in bigger tiles or planks to offer the same appearance. Parquet floor is a very fashionable flooring solution which is most effective in large rooms or hallways where the appealing pattern can be best showcased. Parquet is available in a multitude of different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from an enormous variety of different woods, but oak is the most common, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor may come in either solid wood or engineered wood types, the latter of which function several layers of wood with a fibre board core and a top layer of the desired appearance of hardwood. Parquet floor is durable and needs 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 usually installed utilising a series of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive.
