Parquet Flooring in St Davids

Parquet flooring is a sort of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed together to produce 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 bigger tiles or planks to provide the same appearance. Parquet floor is an exceptionally fashionable flooring product which works best in large rooms or hallways where the appealing design can be best exhibited. Parquet is available in numerous different patterns, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can also be manufactured from an enormous range of different woods, but oak is the most popular, accompanied by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring can come in either solid wood or engineered wood variations, 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 suitable for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or bend under these conditions. Parquet is typically installed by using a number of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive. A specialist parquet flooring company can suggest the most appropriate wood types and styles for your home.
