Choose your parquet according to the type of room.
The type of wood used will not necessarily have the same advantages and disadvantages depending on the types of parts.
For water features (bathroom) we will recommend exotic woods as well as a varnish finish to protect as much as possible from humidity. Laminate parquet known to be cheaper and easier to install is also recommended for the bathroom.
The rooms as for them, they are much less in demand. They will be able to support a more fragile and thinner parquet, as well as softer wood species. Due to its low traffic, you can choose the finish of your choice.
The living rooms such as the living room, the entrance and the kitchen are rooms with more traffic. It is therefore advisable to choose the strongest parquet possible, so preferably solid parquet (100% wood) or semi-solid (laminated) very thick. On the other hand, it will be necessary to take care to maintain it well by sanding it, oiling it or vitrifying it regularly, if you want to avoid stains and scratches.
Choose your parquet according to the type: Solid, Semi-solid, Laminate
Robust solid parquet
The solid parquet comes from a single species of wood, the blades are taken 100% from the trunk of
the tree. The raw and natural aspect of this wood seduces fans of rustic decoration thanks to the graining,
knots, textures and shades they can offer.
Unlike other coatings, solid parquet is a sustainable investment, it can be
renovated several times (change of color, protection, …) and has a lifespan of at least 100
years if properly maintained.
Quality semi-solid parquet
Semi-solid parquet or also called engineered parquet is made up of several layers. Layer
visible comes from the chosen wood species which is itself glued to an inert support (mdf,
multiplex, osb,…).
Once laid, it is impossible to tell the difference between solid or semi-solid parquet. His
main advantage is the speed and ease of installation.
Laminate flooring
Laminate flooring imitates wood, it is made up of several layers of resin and decorative paper. The
advantages are that they perfectly imitate wood without the maintenance constraints that it requires.
It is also easy to install and often more advantageous in terms of the budget.
Wooden deck
The terraces are generally made of exotic woods. The advantage is their integration outside and their
made natural. Second, we have composite wood which consist of 50% polyethylene, 50%
recycled wood.
Decks made of “composite” wood are generally more affordable in terms of cost but have
a less natural look than exotic wood. On the terrace, wood combines aesthetics and comfort, in addition to
adapt to its natural environment.
