In any case, it is designed to frame the entire composition and help with the layout of the rooms.

Often the socket is inlaid with stones and metal to give a special luxury to the room.

Most often, geometric patterns are made up of modules. The result is a complete picture. Assembling such a modular mosaic takes much less time than laying out an ornament from different parts.
Care rules
Art parquet is natural material, which has different characteristics depending on the type of wood used. However, all types of wood have common features. Parquet reacts to humidity: high humidity it can expand in size, and when dry, it can narrow. That is why in winter heating season parquet elements can be compressed, then small cracks appear between them.

Choosing a floor covering is always a difficult task. After all, in addition to the beautiful appearance the material must have a number of other properties. For example, to be durable, pleasant to the touch, environmentally friendly and not cause allergies. One of the floor coverings that meets these parameters is parquet. Today we decided to figure out what it is and how to choose it correctly.
Types of parquet
In total, there are four main types of parquet. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages:
Planks of various shapes and sizes with fastening grooves and ridges. Among its advantages: a rich design variety, easy replacement of planks (if necessary). The disadvantages include: high cost, instability to moisture, the need for additional processing (varnishing, grinding).
It consists of three layers, two base layers are made of softwood, the third top layer is made of precious wood. The parquet board is cheaper than piece parquet. It is already ready for laying and does not require processing. It is not resistant to moisture and can be deformed from a large amount of moisture. Another drawback is the poor choice of colors.
Solid wood cover. It is much thicker than a parquet board and cheaper than piece parquet. It is easy to lay it down, take care of it. The massive board is not glued, so it is environmentally friendly, and has a rich color palette.
Resistant to temperature extremes and moisture coating, which is most often used on open terraces or saunas.
Choice of wood
Most often, ash is chosen for flooring in an apartment. It is very practical and plastic, so it almost never cracks. It has a pronounced texture, and the color scheme can range from almost white to light pink and even brown.
The strongest and most wear-resistant include oak, maple, cherry and walnut. Each of them has a beautiful texture, as well as pleasant shades. For example, maple has an interesting cream color, while cherry boasts a pleasant coffee range. Beech is less often laid, it is quite beautiful, but at the same time it is not resistant to temperature extremes and high humidity. It is recommended to use in the interior of children's rooms.
Before you buy parquet, you need to inspect it well. The boards must be free of cracks, deformations, voids, staples or glue residue. If there are any, then the parquet is of poor quality.
To evaluate the durability of parquet is its top layer: the thicker it is, the better.
High-quality parquet smells only like wood and has a pleasant aroma.
When choosing parquet, special attention should be paid to its environmental friendliness. To do this, you need to contact consultants and ask them for quality certificates, read the composition of the parquet and make sure that it does not contain harmful substances such as formaldehydes or resins.
