Parquet is a floor covering consisting of wooden sticks up to fifty centimeters long and fourteen to twenty two centimeters wide.

Incorrectly laid parquet board can later cause a lot of inconvenience, ranging from a simple creak to cracks in the wooden floor.
The final stage is the varnishing of the parquet or decking. The peculiarity lies in the fact that the varnish is applied in several layers for a «mirror» reflective shine of the floor. The bottom layer of the parquet is made with matte compounds with further sanding between the application of each of the layers. For the top layer, use a glossy varnish..
