Parquet Flooring in Jersey

Parquet flooring is a variety of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to produce a distinctive design over the whole of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with each individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet is available in bigger tiles or planks to provide the same effect. Parquet floor is an extremely elegant flooring solution which works best in large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching design can be best displayed. Parquet is available in numerous different patterns, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from a massive array of different woods, but oak is the most common, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor 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 flooring is durable and demands 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 usually installed by using a number of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive.
