Valparaiso Flooring - Parquet Flooring

Parquet Floors

Timber contrasting in color and grain, such as oak, walnut, cherry, lime, pine, maple etc. are employed. Parquet patterns are entirely geometrical and angular— squares, triangles, etc. One of the most famous parquet floors is the one used by the Boston Celtics of the NBA.

Cleaning

Wood floors may be brushed clean, and mopped when necessary. Upright vacuum cleaners can scratch and wear the surface, as grit particles become embedded in the spinning brushes.

Repair

Parquet floors are usually long lasting and require little or no maintenance.

Unstuck blocks are re-glued. Bitumen glued blocks require use of either hot bitumen or a cold bitumen emulsion, as other glue types do not adhere to bitumen.
