Parquet flooring is known as a warm and natural floor covering, which can absorb or release damp, thus creating a balance in your home. Depending on their composition, we can distinguish between solid wood and composite parquet flooring. Finished composite parquet flooring is already lacquer- or oil-finished, and you can install it right away. It comprises several layers—the bottom, backing, binding, and top layer made of noble wood. If you decide to go with this type, what you actually have to choose is the colour, pattern, hardness, and decide if you want it made of deciduous or coniferous trees. The most popular choice is oak parquet flooring as it’s hard, very resistant, beautiful, and doesn’t shrink. Other solutions include pine, larch, birch, beech, maple, chestnut, and cherry tree. You can choose the colour and type of wood based on your furniture, wall coverings, ceiling, and other indoor elements, although we recommend avoiding uniformity as this will make your home look monotonous. Wooden flooring is usually protected by polishing and an oil finish. If, in time, parquet flooring fades or gets damaged, it can be polished, sanded, or lacquered, thus ensuring its durability.
