Parquet Flooring in Moffat

Parquet flooring is a variety of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to produce a distinctive design across the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with each individual strip painstakingly laid, but modern parquet is available in bigger tiles or planks to provide the same effect. Parquet floor is an extremely fashionable flooring solution which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the appealing design can be best showcased. Parquet is available in numerous different styles, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from a wide range of different woods, but oak is the most common, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring may come in either solid wood or engineered wood variations, 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 suitable 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 that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive.
