Parquet Flooring in Yeovil

Parquet flooring is a type of wood flooring in which small wood blocks or strips are installed alongside one another to make a distinctive pattern across the whole of the floor. Parquet was traditionally installed with each individual strip meticulously laid, but modern parquet can be purchased in bigger tiles or planks to provide the same effect. Parquet floor is an exceptionally stylish flooring solution which works best in large rooms or hallways where the eye-catching pattern can be best exhibited. Parquet is available in a multitude of different patterns, the most popular of which are herringbone, chevron or checkerboard. Parquet can be manufactured from a wide 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 styles, the latter of which feature several sheets of wood with a fibre board core and a top layer of the desired appearance of hardwood. Parquet floor 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 flex under these conditions. Parquet is commonly installed by using a number of tiles that are glued to the subfloor with an adhesive.
