Parquet Flooring in Great Yarmouth

Parquet Flooring in Great Yarmouth

Parquet flooring is a variety of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to produce a distinctive pattern across the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with every individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet is available in larger tiles or planks to provide the same appearance. Parquet floor is an extremely stylish flooring option which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the attractive pattern can be best showcased. Parquet comes in a wide variety of different styles, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from an enormous array of different woods, but oak is the most common, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring will come in either solid wood or engineered wood variations, 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 needs little maintenance. It is, however, not suitable 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 number of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. An experienced parquet floor company will be able to recommend the most appropriate wood types and patterns for your home.
