Parquet Flooring in Penysarn

Parquet flooring is a type of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to generate a distinctive design across the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with every individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet is available in bigger tiles or planks to give the same effect. Parquet floor is a very elegant flooring solution which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching design can be best displayed. Parquet is available in numerous different patterns, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from a massive selection of different woods, but oak is the most popular, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring will 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 demands 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 generally installed utilising a series of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. A specialist parquet floor company can suggest the most suitable wood types and designs for your home.
