Parquet Flooring in Moreton-in-marsh

Parquet flooring is a type of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to make a distinctive design across the entirety of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with every individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet is available in larger tiles or planks to provide the same appearance. Parquet floor is a very fashionable flooring product which works best in large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching design can be best showcased. Parquet comes in numerous different patterns, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from a massive range of different woods, but oak is the most popular, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor may come in either solid wood or engineered wood types, 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 floor is durable and needs 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 usually installed by using a series of tiles which are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive. A professional parquet floor company can suggest the most suitable wood types and designs for your home.
