Sealing is of the Utmost Importance - You use small blocks to create the floor and so there will be small gaps which is enough for water to get through. It is important that you make sure you properly seal the surface to prevent these gaps becoming a problem. The blocks should be fitted as tightly as possible together and then sealed so moisture cannot get inside the wood. Care and Maintenance of Your Parquet Flooring - It is quite easy to maintain and clean parquet flooring when it is installed properly. You can vacuum it, however you must be careful you don't scratch the floor by accident. Always invest in high quality cleaning products so that you don't stain the floors.

In order to refinish any floor, but especially parquet floors, you need to exercise patience. Sometimes you might need to use sandpaper, which will take a little longer, but this type of flooring needs extra care. Once the sanding job is completed, decide whether you want to stain your floor or not. Once you have stained, or, even if you haven't, it is a good idea to apply polyurethane to the parquet floor. However, make sure that you use at least three coats of polyurethane in order to get the best results. This type of home-improvement job can be difficult and time-consuming but the end result, a beautiful parquet floor, makes it definitely worth it.

There are a few issues you need to look into before you jump into flooring your house with parquets. Issue number one - wood on laminate parquet The wooden parquet is more "authentic", but in reality most people today will go for laminate parquet. I would suggest that you go for the laminate product, unless you are a wood "fanatic" and need your floor to be %100 wood. If you do, take into account the maintenance cost of a wooden parquet floor. | |

This is because flooring manufacturers are now trying to make these parquet wood floors into something that could be cared for quite easily and as resistant to scratches as could be. Nowadays, consumers normally opt for the parquet wood flooring that comes in light colors. Right now, manufacturers recommend that parquet be installed through strip flooring. The Parquet Wood Floor of the Past - In the past, parquet wood flooring was fashioned out of wood strips that were attached into blocks that were square in form. This type of wooden flooring was still very moisture-sensitive and normally bulged or collapsed after being exposed to extreme humidity. Nowadays, parquet wood floors are already made out of plywood or hardwood and is usually applied with a finish that is acquired through lamination. | |

When it comes to flooring, the options are endless and can be one of the most costly and daunting decisions of the remodel. While there are many options to choose from such as carpet, tile, even concrete, parquet flooring is another option sometimes overlooked. It is a durable product that is not difficult to install and can last for decades, making it a reasonable and beautiful upgrade for any room in the house, from the kitchen to the basement. Parquet flooring can be installed over concrete as well as existing hardwood, laminate, or ceramic tile, making it an easy DIY project. Parquet flooring hails all the way back to 1684, when it replaced marble in Versailles, France. The marble flooring used prior to this had to be cleaned constantly, and the water would run down to the under- lying floor supports, causing them to rot. Parquet, noted for its beauty and strength was also easier to clean, thus its use spread quickly. | ||
