Beech parquet

Parquet is not suitable for installation in damp rooms. To adapt to the climatic conditions of the room, parquet planks should be stored for about 48 hours to acclimatise. As wood is a living natural material, leave an expansion gap of 10 mm between the floor and the wall when installing. You can cover this later with skirting boards or cover strips.

The colour of the parquet floor has a great influence on the overall effect of the room. Parquet in paler colours immediately brings light into the room and makes it appear larger. Dark parquet floors look noble and opulent, while exuding warmth and cosiness. Grey wooden floors create a calm, elegant ambience. Natural-coloured floors are cosy and neutral and can fit any room, be it lively or calm, rustic or elegant.

Parquet with a lacquered surface reflects more light and is easier to clean. Oiled parquet brings out the fine grain of the wood and its natural colour. It’s important that a parquet floor with a lacquered surface is maintained and, if necessary, re-oiled over time.

The general rule is that the planks should be laid lengthwise towards the light. This emphasises the shape of the room. For long and narrow rooms, it is recommended to lay parquet lengthwise.

As a natural floor covering, parquet is protected from dirt and moisture by a sealant. For initial care, it is sufficient to clean the parquet floor dry with a broom, mop or vacuum cleaner. A naturally oiled parquet floor must also be treated with a suitable agent. Clean the parquet surface either dry or with a slightly damp cloth or mop.
