For areas of very intensive use (entrances, hallways, continuously trafficked stairs), we recommend not using floating laminate flooring because its concentrated intensive use deteriorates the top layer faster than in residential areas. For those areas, porcelain stoneware or natural stone will last much longer. Solid wood parquet is the traditional option. Each board is 100 percent natural solid wood, typically oak, ash, or walnut. Much more expensive to buy and install, but it gives a unique character to the room because each board has a distinct natural grain. Its great advantage is indefinite durability. If it wears or gets damaged, it can be sanded and re-varnished multiple times throughout its life. This is what was used in old high-end flats and what we recommend for premium home renovations where the budget allows. Preparing the subfloor is the most critical step. Floating laminate flooring requires a subfloor with a maximum deviation of 3 mm over a 2-meter straightedge. If the subfloor has greater deviations, it must be levelled with self-levelling mortar before starting. Without this levelling, the tongue-and-groove joints will gradually separate, and visible gaps will appear between boards after a few months of use.

Self-levelling mortar or levelling sheet, acoustic membrane and moisture barrier. We check the flatness, humidity, and level of the subfloor before proposing the type of flooring. For damp areas (kitchens, bathrooms), there are specific anti-humidity and anti-mould plastic paints that resist condensation and steam without generating black mould stains. Their application requires prior priming with a fungicidal product if the wall already showed traces of mould.

The choice between different types of wood or wood-effect flooring depends on three main factors: budget, intended use, and desired aesthetics. AC4 laminate floating flooring, which is our best-selling product today, offers a very good quality-price ratio combined with resistance to intensive use. It consists of a top layer of melamine with a realistic wood effect (high durability to abrasion), a high-density fibreboard core, and a balancing bottom layer. The top layer is AC4 rated (suitable for intense domestic use or moderate commercial use) and withstands 25,000 abrasive cycles without visible wear. For standard domestic use, it lasts 15-25 years maintaining a good appearance. Its drawback is that, although visually very realistic, it is not natural wood and cannot be sanded and re-varnished if it gets damaged at some point.
