About MM Parquet& Carpentry ltd.

For this section of my blog I am going to write about two of my favourite Parquet designs. The word parquet is a french word that was used to describe when many pieces of small timber blocks are assembled together to make up a geometrical pattern or design of your choice and when you introduce different type of exotic timber like American Walnut, Merabu, Teak and Mahogany you can get some amazing designs and the illusion of 3D floors. This is one of the many reasons as to why parquet flooring is a little more expensive than a standard timber floor. If you can afford parquet the results can be amazing and the design choice is endless. One of the most popular parquet designs is the herringbone design, it is a more traditional design, I think it is amazing to know that it is one of the oldest designs and patterns of all. It was first used back in the Roman and Egyptian times and is now used all around the world. The effects of the herringbone design can be great when laid and can really give some amazing illusions of light and dark tones depending on how much daylight can come into your property. You can see why Herringbone has and still is so popular.
