Parquet Flooring in Redcar

Parquet flooring is a type of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to create a distinctive pattern over the whole of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with every individual strip painstakingly laid, but modern parquet is available in bigger tiles or planks to provide the same effect. Parquet floor is an extremely stylish flooring product which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching pattern can be best showcased. Parquet is available in a multitude of different styles, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from a massive variety of different woods, but oak is the most common, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring may come in either solid wood or engineered wood varieties, the latter of which function 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, unsuitable for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or bend under these conditions. Parquet is typically installed utilising a series of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive.
