Parquet flooring is a sort 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 traditionally installed with each individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet is available in bigger tiles or planks to provide the same effect. Parquet floor is an extremely fashionable flooring product which is best suited for large rooms or hallways where the attractive design can be best displayed. Parquet is available in a multitude of different styles, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet may also be manufactured from a huge variety of different woods, but oak is the most popular, followed by mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet floor can come in either solid wood or engineered wood varieties, 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 requires 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 utilising a number of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive.
