Parquet Flooring in Pewsey

Parquet flooring is a sort of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to create a distinctive design over the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with each individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet is available in larger tiles or planks to provide the same effect. Parquet floor is an extremely stylish flooring solution which works best in large rooms or hallways where the attractive pattern can be best displayed. Parquet is available in numerous different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from a huge selection of different woods, but oak is the most common, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor comes in either solid wood or engineered wood types, the latter of which function several sheets 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 flex under these conditions. Parquet is generally installed utilising a series of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. An expert parquet floor company can recommend the most suitable wood types and patterns for your home.
