Parquet Flooring in Isle Of Tiree

Parquet flooring is a variety of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to create a distinctive design over the entirety of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with each individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet is available in larger tiles or planks to provide the same appearance. Parquet floor is an exceptionally elegant flooring solution 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 be manufactured from a wide 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 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 demands little maintenance. It is, however, unsuitable for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or flex under these conditions. Parquet is typically installed using a number of tiles which are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive. A professional parquet flooring company can recommend the most appropriate wood types and styles for your home.
