A Beautiful Style Of Flooring
For quite some time, there was a trend for covering hard flooring finishes with carpet, hiding away the craftsmanship that went into creating it.
However, we’re now seeing more and more homeowners realising the value of hardwood floors and opting for old parquet flooring restoration. Parquet floor gained popularity from the 1940’s onwards, so if you live in a period property, it’s well worth looking beneath your carpets to see what’s there.
Why Restore Old Parquet Flooring?
While restoring parquet flooring rather than covering it or removing it altogether may seem like a more laborious option, there are plenty of reasons to stick with it.
Parquet is a very popular flooring choice and if you’re planning to sell the property once it’s renovated, choosing to have an old parquet flooring restoration could add value to your house.
Another reason to restore your parquet is that, once it’s been restored to its former glory, parquet is very low maintenance.
It doesn’t require much upkeep and is very hardwearing, making it perfect for a family home.
Something else that people love about parquet flooring is that it gives you the option to be versatile with your décor.
Rather than having expensive carpet laid which goes with one particular colour scheme, you can choose to have rugs on your parquet which are much easier to change in accordance with your décor.
Won’t Restoration Be Very Disruptive?
It’s easy to see why you’d worry that having old parquet flooring restoration could be very disruptive to your life, if you’re trying to live in the property at the same time. However, having your parquet flooring restored may be quicker than you think.
Obviously, it depends on the condition of the flooring before the work begins, but some parquet flooring can be restored and renovated with just one day of work.
This won’t be the case for every job, but it never usually takes more than a few days before it’s ready to use again, and this is really no longer or less convenient than installing any other type of flooring.
