Parquet Flooring in Golspie

Parquet flooring is a variety of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to create a distinctive pattern over the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with every individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet is available in bigger tiles or planks to give the same appearance. Parquet floor is an exceptionally elegant flooring solution which works best in large rooms or hallways where the attractive pattern can be best showcased. Parquet comes in a wide variety of different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from a huge range of different woods, but oak is the most common, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring will come in either solid wood or engineered wood styles, 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 bend under these conditions. Parquet is generally installed utilising a number of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive.
