Parquet Flooring in Trimdon Station

Parquet flooring is a kind of wood flooring where small wood blocks or strips are installed together to produce a distinctive design across the whole of the floor. Parquet was historically installed with every individual strip carefully laid, but modern parquet is available in bigger tiles or planks to give the same appearance. Parquet floor is an exceptionally stylish flooring solution which works best in large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching pattern can be best showcased. Parquet comes in a multitude of different patterns, the most common of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from an enormous array of different woods, but oak is the most common, along with mahogany, maple and cherry. Modern parquet flooring may 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, unsuitable for areas that contain lots of moisture or humidity as the wood will warp or bend under these conditions. Parquet is often installed by using a series of tiles which are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive.
