Parquet and Laminate Flooring Guide

Flooring Options

Floor covering is one of the most important components of a home, both aesthetically and practically. Parquet and laminate remain the two most preferred options.

Real Parquet

Real parquet, cut from hardwood, can be sanded and renewed over the years. With a life of 20–30 years, this material is an economical investment in the long term. However, it is sensitive to changes in moisture.

Laminate Flooring

Made of a photographic print on an HDF board with protective layers, laminate is advantageous in terms of water resistance, scratch resistance and easy maintenance. Its price-performance balance is superior to real parquet.

SPC and WPC Options

Fully waterproof SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) floor coverings can be used in all areas of the home, including the kitchen and bathroom. They provide a floor that feels sturdier than laminate.

Laying Methods

There are three basic laying methods: glue-down, nail-down and the click system. The click system (floating) is the fastest and quietest method; it can be applied without changing the substructure.
