Parquet Flooring in North Berwick

Parquet Flooring in North Berwick

Parquet flooring is a sort of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to make a distinctive design across the entirety of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with each individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet is available in bigger tiles or planks to give the same effect. Parquet floor is an exceptionally stylish flooring product which is most effective in large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching pattern can be best showcased. Parquet is available in numerous different styles, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from an enormous variety of different woods, but oak is the most common, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring may come in either solid wood or engineered wood varieties, the latter of which feature 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, inappropriate for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or flex under these conditions. Parquet is often installed by using a number of tiles that are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive. An experienced parquet flooring company can advise you of the most suitable wood types and patterns for your home.
