Change Your Fortunes With Parquet Flooring

Parquet flooring adds sophistication and value to rooms while potentially increasing home equity. Available in various shades with subtle variations to complement any decor style, parquet comes in many styles to meet the needs of every room in your home.

Herringbone patterns are classic zig zag designs composed of equal-sized planks. While DIY installation may be possible, professionals should always be brought in.

Solid

Solid parquet flooring features various geometric patterns such as herringbone, basket weave and finger block designs that add sophistication to any room in the house. Stain or paint finish options add character and sophistication that last over time.

Blocks can be arranged in different ways to form an original design that suits your taste & style, visually expanding or shortening a room depending on their arrangement. Solid parquet floors are durable & can easily be refinished if necessary.

Solid parquet floors may not be ideal for high traffic areas due to their increased cost and time-consuming upkeep requirements, along with expansion & contraction issues created by temperature fluctuations or humidity changes; as well as gaps between blocks that expand & contract with temperature and humidity changes causing gaps to form between them which must then be filled using polyurethane or epoxy; an added expense which doesn't prevent future expansion & contraction issues - engineered parquet wood floors have increasingly become popular as an alternative solution.

Engineered

Engineered parquet flooring combines the timeless appeal of natural wood with the flexibility and functionality of engineered floorboards. A block-style pattern is achieved using real hardwood veneer glued onto multiple layers of plywood as base material; as such, this type of board is less susceptible to temperature and humidity fluctuations that could otherwise lead to warping over time compared to solid wood floors.

Engineered flooring comes in various styles, such as herringbone, Versailles and chevron patterns. You can even create unique patterns by mixing different species of wood together.

Solid and engineered parquet floors can add lasting beauty and value to any interior space, offering durability, sturdiness, and added longevity. However, for any project to be a success it requires proper subfloor preparation and expert installation by trained installers - otherwise known as parquet fitters. Professional parquet fitters possess all of the knowledge, expertise, tools necessary for an outstanding installation finish that's compatible with underfloor heating.

Floating

Floating floors have become an increasingly popular choice for modern homes and commercial spaces due to their affordability, versatility, and ease of installation. When selecting your new floating floor type it is crucial that it meets both aesthetic preferences as well as practical needs.

Floating floors differ from traditional flooring by being secured to the subfloor through a click system, which enables their surface to expand and contract naturally with changes in humidity levels.

Additionally, some types of floating floors require minimal upkeep beyond regular sweeping and mopping - making them suitable for busy households. To maintain longevity in your floor's lifespan, be sure to use cleaning products tailored specifically for its material type.

While floating flooring provides many advantages to homeowners, its value may not increase as much resale-wise compared to solid hardwood or natural stone alternatives. Furthermore, some types of floating floors are sensitive to heat damage when placed directly under hot objects.

Patterns

Parquet patterns are an effective way to transform a space into an eye-catching room, from herringbone and chevron wood flooring designs, creating eye-catching floors that won't go out of style anytime soon while adding value to your home.

The herringbone pattern is one of the most sought-after parquet wood flooring patterns. Dubbed for its similarity to herring fish bones, this zigzag design can either be laid diagonally or parallel to walls for easy installation.

The chevron pattern offers an eye-catching alternative to herringbone flooring, as its ends are cut at an angular angle for an eye-catching striping effect in larger rooms. Though suitable for installation in any size room, this bolder variation requires greater skill during installation and may create issues at door thresholds when aligning first row of flooring to edge of door frame edge; additionally it may need special care during door threshold installation process as first row may not line up perfectly with edge of frame edge; nonetheless it will withstand time with no wear and tear effects like its herringbone counterpart will.
