CONSULTING ” PARQUET ” Subfloor

On which floor is a parquet floor made of solid wood planks laid?

The floor structure forms the basis for a durable and high-quality high-quality parquet. Depending on the situation and requirements, there are different approaches to achieving an optimum result.

Subfloor for parquet

The subfloor on which the parquet is to be laid must be level, stable, clean and dry. It should not be laid on carpet.

For floating installations, a combination of impact sound insulation and a vapor barrier between the floorboards and the subfloor is recommended. This insulates against sound on the one hand and prevents residual moisture from rising and affecting the parquet on the other. Small irregularities can also be evened out in this way.

Cork layer against sound

A good solution is the natural product cork. A thin layer of cork can be easily bonded to the subfloor – in addition to impact sound insulation, this also provides thermal insulation. For the room itself, this means that it is better soundproofed, there is no unpleasant hollow sound and the heat from the heating is not lost through the floor.

For safe walking on the parquet and optimum stability despite seasonal temperature fluctuations, we recommend solid wood parquet planks should always be laid fully glued down.
