Parquet Flooring in Portrush

Parquet flooring is a kind of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to make a distinctive design over the entirety of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with every individual strip painstakingly laid, but modern parquet is available in larger tiles or planks to give the same appearance. Parquet floor is a very stylish flooring solution which is most effective in large rooms or hallways where the attractive pattern can be best displayed. Parquet comes in a wide variety of different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from a huge range of different woods, but oak is the most popular, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor may come in either solid wood or engineered wood types, the latter of which feature 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 usually installed by using a series of tiles that are fixed to the subfloor with an adhesive. A professional parquet floor company can recommend the most suitable wood types and designs for your home.
