parkettpõrandad

Parkettpõrandad, commonly referred to as parquet flooring, are a type of wooden flooring made by arranging small pieces of wood into a geometric pattern. This technique creates decorative and visually appealing designs. The most common patterns include herringbone, chevron, and mosaic. Parquet is typically made from hardwoods like oak, walnut, or maple, chosen for their durability and aesthetic qualities.

The manufacturing process involves cutting wood into precise shapes and sizes, which are then assembled into panels or blocks. These pieces are often glued or nailed to the subfloor. The natural variations in wood grain and color contribute to the unique character of each parquet floor. Over time, parquet floors can be sanded and refinished to restore their appearance and extend their lifespan.

Parquet flooring has a long history, dating back to the 17th century in France, where it was a symbol of wealth and status in royal palaces and grand homes. Its popularity has endured due to its timeless elegance and versatility, fitting well into both traditional and contemporary interior designs. While traditionally made from solid wood, modern options also include engineered parquet, which features a veneer of hardwood over a core of plywood or composite material, offering greater stability and ease of installation.
