Parquet in a dark colour enriches your living and working spaces

Dark parquet floors are currently very much on-trend. Their stylish and high-quality appearance quickly upgrades your style. Large rooms in particular benefit from these versatile floors; dark panels come into their own in generously proportioned rooms.

Combining dark parquet with light-coloured furniture

To show off your dark parquet floor to its best advantage, you can combine it with light-coloured furniture to create effective contrasts. Since dark parquet naturally fades less quickly than light wood, your real wood floor will remain in perfect condition for a long time. The grains, which are particularly well accentuated in dark parquet, enhance the natural look of the floor.

Maintaining dark parquet flooring and keeping it looking great for a long time

To ensure that your dark parquet floor gives you pleasure for as long as possible, regular care is necessary. Dust and light dirt can easily be removed with a damp cloth. Sweeping with a soft broom can also help to remove dirt and protect the wood. Wet wiping, on the other hand, should be avoided. At planeo you will find suitable care and cleaning products to clean and maintain your parquet floors. If there are deeper scratches, you have the option of sanding the parquet and giving it a brand-new look. Contact us – we will be happy to advise you!

The 5 most frequently asked questions about Parquet Flooring

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.
