Parquet Flooring in Gaerwen

Parquet flooring is a type of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to generate a distinctive design across the whole of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with each individual strip painstakingly laid, but modern parquet is available in bigger tiles or planks to provide the same appearance. Parquet floor is an extremely elegant flooring option which is most effective in large rooms or hallways where the appealing design can be best displayed. Parquet is available in numerous different patterns, 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 common, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor comes in either solid wood or engineered wood types, the latter of which feature several sheets 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 using a number of tiles that are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive.
