Parquet Flooring in Hindhead

Parquet flooring is a variety of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to make a distinctive design across 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 offer the same appearance. Parquet floor is an extremely elegant flooring solution which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching design can be best showcased. Parquet comes 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 flooring can come in either solid wood or engineered wood varieties, 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 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 often installed using a number of tiles that are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive. A specialist parquet floor company can advise you of the most suitable wood types and patterns for your home.
