ABOUT OUR SERVICESParquet Flooring Installation & Maintenance
Oak is by far the most popular wood type for parquet flooring. This is because oak is not only extremely durable but also very sturdy. With the use of special adhesives, the blocks stick down easily on a clean, dry, and dust free surface. Moreover, this significantly reduces the possibility of block movements resulting in bumps or uneven surface. In order to create a more impressive finish we cut the already existing skirting-boards and place wood beneath them.
Parquet flooring is made from blocks of different sizes and can take the form of various geometrical patterns to create a beautiful and decorative structure. Few common types are Fishbone parquet, Double Fishbone parquet and Square Fishbone parquet. You can also have the parquet flooring with or without a single or double border around the walls. Other options are also available such as Mosaic Parquet Flooring.
