Modern modular parquet is closer to palace modular parquet than to Soviet panel parquet. However, the development of technology has made it more suitable for a wide market. From an aesthetic point of view, modern modular parquet is a combination of traditional and newly invented geometric patterns with previously unknown tints and mechanical treatments. The main decorative differences between modern modular parquet and parquet of the 18th-19th centuries are listed below.
Coating Wax or oil Oil (oil-wax) or varnish of varying degrees of gloss
Color Natural wood (slightly tinted mastics have been available since the 19th century) Widespread use of tinting, including patination, metallic and pearlescent colors
Processing Grinding Grinding, brushing, planing, aging, etc.
The scope of application of modern modular parquet is wider than that of old modular parquet. These are:
Loft-style rooms, apartments (the effect of macedonia mobile database floors, floors with history – along with herringbone parquet)
Very large areas, especially commercial (more vibrant pattern than parallel rows of planks)
Small rooms of excessively elongated, unfortunate shapes, pencil-case rooms (a geometric pattern visually softens the disproportionality of the room)
The actual premises are in the palace style (neo-rococo, neoclassicism)
The limiting factor remains the high price of modular parquet – on average, it is higher than solid, parquet and engineered boards.
Installation (laying)
Modular parquet is laid in a rigidly fixed manner (on glue). Before laying the solid board, a carefully prepared base is required - a strong and dry cement screed, on top of which plywood sheets are laid (usually sawn). Engineered modular parquet is sometimes laid directly on the screed, without an intermediate layer of plywood.
