Parquet Flooring in Llanbedr

Parquet flooring is a type of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to create a distinctive pattern across 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 give the same appearance. Parquet floor is an exceptionally stylish flooring solution which is most effective in large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching pattern can be best showcased. Parquet is available in a wide variety of different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from a wide selection of different woods, but oak is the most popular, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor comes in either solid wood or engineered wood varieties, the latter of which incorporate several layers of wood with a fibre board core and a top layer of the desired appearance of hardwood. Parquet flooring is durable and requires 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 by using a number of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive.
