The Beauty of Parquet Flooring at Affordable Costs By Ean Gary at 2013-08-07 00:57:11

Floors can be done up in a myriad of styles and designs using a plethora of materials. Parquet flooring is popular with many residential homes especially in the bedrooms. This traditional flooring choice involves fixing small timber pieces in herringbone, chevron or strip design to make a delightful floor presentation.
Design choices
It is possible to create unique and delightful designs or patterns with parquet flooring. The timber pieces are usually 10mm thick which are glued tightly to the plywood subfloor. As it is usually installed as unfinished, the parquet floor needs to be sanded and finished for an attractive feel and look.
Another traditional flooring design is block flooring where a herringbone design is applied but uniqueness of design can take any shape or form depending on the creativity of the flooring experts. The timber pieces can be arranged in a variety of ways and styles that include basket weave or brick bond style depending on the block size.
Creative and meticulous flooring contractors can generate a matching border with the same block size to create a finished look. These 20mm thick blocks are glued tightly to a subfloor for durability. They can be in unfinished or pre-finished forms depending on the supplier.
Marquetry is another timber flooring option that can enjoy bespoke patterns for a lovely parquet floor. This flooring option allows a host of unique patterns in unfinished or pre-finished forms to secure sophisticated looking floors.
Versailles/Chantilly floorings offer exquisite traditional designs in parquet flooring with panel sized pieces or customized sizes. These options can run up to the walls without borders for a most interesting effect of the floor connecting to the wall seamlessly. These unfinished pieces would be sanded and finished to provide a distinctive floor for the premise.
Engineered flooring
Parquet floors are beautiful although there is quite a bit of work involved in sizing the pieces to the floor space although modern technology has pre-cut sizes to make the installation works much easier.
Parquet flooring is very versatile and exquisite looking to be durable and long lasting in its functionality. The floor can be maintained easily with a good polish to restore the shine on the timber pieces if done properly by professional flooring contractors.
Different designs can be generated through engineered wood varieties to enjoy unique floor styles. The cost of parquet floors has come down significantly with progressive technology that offers more for less.
