In the piece parquet, the most popular is the size of 420 × 70 mm. It enables the home master to combine various types of drawings, while the dick remains quite large, and the pattern of wood is visible. Let’s tell you a little about simple styling types. So, a piece of oak parquet – laying: in a run (deck) – laying parquet along the long side in one direction.
Distinguish between symmetrical run when each third row is laid symmetrically the first, and asymmetric run – laying in an arbitrary order. Checker (square) – laying parquet squares in the form of a chessboard. Often, the master additionally selects wood in tone to emphasize the squares. This type of laying with the setting sun looks very beautiful (part of the squares looks darker), so this type of masonry is recommended for sunny rooms.
Christmas tree – laying in the form of a Christmas tree, when the end of the same dick adjoins the edge of the long side of the other dick. Such styling can most often be found in the houses of the Soviet era. An additional complication is distinguished by a double Christmas tree, where two dies are used instead of one, the principle of laying does not change. The next two types of styling are more difficult, but it is also possible for a novice master. French Christmas tree in appearance resembles an ordinary Christmas tree, only with cut corners, in this way it turns out the junction of the joint, and not a ladder. The material consumption is greatly increased, but the decorative properties of the floor are improved.
Braid – in this type of styling, two sizes of parquet are used. The parquet is laid in the form of an endless letter H (-I-I-), when the end of one dick rests into the middle of the other, and the space between these rows is filled with a smaller parquet.
If you want to lay something more complicated, then you can always purchase a ready-made artistic parquet of different woods, cut into the drawing already at the factory. It goes on a adhesive substrate that reminiscent of adhesive tape, only a larger area.
But the Parquet board Petersburg has an undeniable advantage over a piece parquet – this is the speed of laying. Small rooms (up to 30 kV. m.) can easily lay even a non -professional in one day, besides, it will be a ready -made floor with a coating. In this case, there will be no dust and dirt, as when laying piece parquet. The disadvantage is also obvious – it is impossible to make styling with a pattern, except that some manufacturers make the so -called “Danish” and “Dutch” types of parquet board. The parquet board can be restored several times, while the number of times depends on the quality of the grinding machine.
