Parquet Flooring in Langholm

Parquet flooring is a kind of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to create a distinctive design across the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with each individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet can be bought in larger tiles or planks to offer the same appearance. Parquet floor is an extremely fashionable flooring solution which works best in large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching pattern can be best exhibited. Parquet is available in numerous 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 popular, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor 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 demands little maintenance. It is, however, not suitable for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or bend under these conditions. Parquet is generally installed using a series of tiles that are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive. An expert parquet flooring company can recommend the most appropriate wood types and designs for your home.
