Parquet Flooring in St Bees

Parquet flooring is a variety of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to generate a distinctive design across the whole of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with each individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet can be bought in bigger tiles or planks to provide the same effect. Parquet floor is a very stylish flooring solution which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the appealing design can be best displayed. Parquet is available in a wide variety of different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from a massive selection of different woods, but oak is the most common, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring comes 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 commonly installed utilising a series of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. A professional parquet floor company can recommend the most suitable wood types and patterns for your home.
