Parquet advice

Solid wood parquet consists of solid wood throughout and impresses with its durability, naturalness and reparability. Compared to prefinished parquet, it can be sanded down several times and used for decades. Particularly high-quality hardwoods such as teak or oakwhich offer high dimensional stability and an elegant look.

When planning, it is important to coordinate the type of wood, direction of laying, and room size. Light woods make rooms appear larger, while dark teak floors radiate warmth and elegance. In addition, the condition of the subfloor and the room humidity should be included in the planning.

Solid wood parquet can be fully glued or screwed down. Proper preparation of the subfloor and precise fitting of the planks are essential. After installation, the wood should be oiled or sealed to protect it from moisture and wear.

The best way to care for solid wood parquet is with special wood oils or waxes. Regular re-oiling maintains the natural protective layer and prevents drying out. Small scratches or stains can be easily repaired or sanded down – a major advantage over laminate or multi-layer parquet.

The wood for high-quality solid wood parquet usually comes from sustainable forestry. Teak, for example, comes from certified plantations where reforestation and social standards are respected. This combines natural beauty and ecological responsibility.
