Parquet Flooring in Magherafelt

Parquet flooring is a kind of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to produce a distinctive design across the entirety of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with every individual strip painstakingly laid, but modern parquet can be bought in bigger tiles or planks to provide the same effect. Parquet floor is an exceptionally fashionable flooring option which works best in large rooms or hallways where the attractive design can be best exhibited. Parquet comes in a multitude of different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from a massive variety of different woods, but oak is the most common, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring comes in either solid wood or engineered wood types, the latter of which incorporate several sheets 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 flex under these conditions. Parquet is typically installed using a series of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. A specialist parquet flooring company can recommend the most suitable wood types and styles for your home.
