How to Combine Parquet & Plank Flooring
Parquet is beautiful and versatile enough to suit both modern and traditional interior styles. But have you ever thought about combining standard plank parquet in your home?
Designers often combine different types of wood in a room, using grains, shades and textures to create a distinctive and elegant look.
Mixing parquet and planks shouldn’t be a problem as long as you choose planks of the same thickness. However, the combination of floor design and installation requires careful planning and you will likely need the help of a hardwood flooring specialist.
Let’s take a look at the difference between parquet and standard planks and see how you can combine the two to achieve great results.
A hardwood floor (pronounced by-kay) is a decorative floor effect created from a geometric mosaic of pieces of wood. It first appeared in the 17th century and quickly became a popular symbol of wealth in grand palaces and homes across Europe.
In contrast to conventional parquet strips, parquet consists of shorter wooden strips that are joined together to form a decorative pattern. Parquet patterns typically consist of triangles, squares, and rectangles, and can also include edges, curves, and contrasting colors.Popular parquet designs are wicker, herringbone and herringbone – in fact, parquet is often referred to as herringbone flooring.
Real wood floors should be treated like other laminate and parquet floors. They should be brushed regularly with a soft brush to remove dirt and grit, remove excess water when cleaning, and cleaned monthly with a special wood cleaner.
