Parquet Wood Floor

Out of the many types of flooring materials on the market – carpet, tile, laminate, terrazzo, etc., the parquet wood floor remains a favorite. Parquet flooring is available in “tile” shape and is composed of pieces of wood put together in a pattern. Each tile is held together prior to installation with a backing, usually a thin, flexible plastic or fabric mesh.

Given the many patterns available today, anyone seeking a pleasing one should have no problem finding one. Wood patterns vary from the simple and understated to the very complex and feature a variety of wood species. One interesting combination is to play off dark wood grain against light wood grain to achieve a three dimensional effect.
