Parquet Flooring in Glenfinnan

Parquet flooring is a sort of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to create a distinctive pattern across the whole of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with each individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet can be bought in bigger tiles or planks to provide the same effect. Parquet floor is a very fashionable flooring solution which works best in large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching pattern can be best exhibited. Parquet is available in a wide variety of different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from an enormous range of different woods, but oak is the most popular, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor can come in either solid wood or engineered wood variations, 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 demands little maintenance. It is, however, inappropriate for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or flex under these conditions. Parquet is usually installed utilising a number of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. An experienced parquet floor company can recommend the most appropriate wood types and patterns for your home.
