Parquet entered our daily life for a long time, every day I am delighting us with its grace and comfort, the stamina and the highest operational qualities developed. But still, if you decide to finally carry out the desired repairs in your apartment and put the floor, you can meet some difficulties. Not everyone knows that there are a number of different parquet coatings. Namely: piece, mosaic, boards and panels of parquet.

It should be marked that artistic and decorative parquets can probably be without a sloping mount. So let’s move on to the varieties of parquet:
1. Piece parquet-it is multi-layered, in appearance it is almost nothing from the parquet from the wood array. The upper layer of the parquet is made of the most valuable tree, after that the plywood goes on several layers, where in general it is one composition. This type of parquet has impeccable geometric accuracy, and at the end of the operating life can be easily polished, like a regular parquet.
2. Parquet boards are manufactured in the following order: the lower base is composed of boards or bars and covered with strips of the same width with straight milling edges. For the reliability and durability of fastening, they are also attached by ridges and grooves.
3. The mosaic parquet also consists of a single width with rectilinear milling edges, covered with a sheet of paper, which easily removes with an adhesive surface after laying the floor.
4. Parquet shield is a collection of planks, square veneers or plywood cladding, fastened into a single drawing based on. But basically, such a parquet is considered outdated, it is difficult to fit and rarely meets in apartments.
