Parquet Flooring in Holywell

Parquet flooring is a kind of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to make a distinctive pattern 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 provide the same appearance. Parquet floor is an extremely elegant flooring option which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching pattern can be best exhibited. Parquet is available in a wide variety of different styles, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from an enormous array 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 varieties, the latter of which function several layers of wood with a fibre board core and a top layer of the desired appearance of hardwood. Parquet flooring is durable and demands 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 commonly installed utilising a number of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. An expert parquet flooring company can advise you of the most appropriate wood types and patterns for your home.
