The choice between different types of wood or wood-effect flooring depends on three main factors: budget, intended use, and desired aesthetic. AC4 laminate floating flooring, which is our biggest seller today, combines excellent value for money with resistance to intensive use. It consists of a top melamine layer with a realistic wood effect (high durability against friction), a high-density fibreboard core, and a balancing bottom layer. The top layer has an AC4 classification (suitable for intensive domestic use or moderate commercial use) and withstands 25,000 abrasive cycles without visible wear. For standard domestic use, it lasts 15-25 years with a good appearance. Its drawback is that although visually very realistic, it is not natural wood and cannot be re-sanded and re-varnished if damaged at any point.

For very high-traffic areas (entrances, hallways, staircases with continuous use), we recommend not using floating floors because concentrated intensive use degrades the top layer faster than in residential areas. For these areas, porcelain stoneware or natural stone lasts much longer.

We check the flatness, humidity, and level of the subfloor before suggesting the type of flooring. The second critical step is the moisture barrier. On ground floors or over damp screeds, a polyethylene membrane must be laid before the acoustic mat. Without a barrier, moisture rises, swells the sub-floor, and after 6-12 months, undulations appear that cannot be removed. For damp areas (kitchens, bathrooms), there are specific anti-humidity and anti-mould plastic paints that resist condensation and steam without generating black mould spots. Their application requires prior priming with a fungicide product if the wall already showed traces of mould.

Flooring with official manufacturer's warranty (10-25 years) plus our installation coverage. 10-15 years official manufacturer's warranty on standard AC4 floating floors. 25 years on premium ranges. Plus our 30-day installation coverage. If the blind slats are cracked, discoloured, and brittle (typical for blinds more than 25-30 years old exposed to the sun outdoors), repairing them point by point ceases to be economically viable. Replacing the entire blind with a modern model costs between two and three times more than just changing the cord. In return, it gives you another 25-30 years of trouble-free use. Modern slats are injected and filled with polyurethane, much more insulating than the old hollow ones, thus improving thermal insulation. And you can request factory-integrated motorisation.

The price for furniture restoration in La Bordeta typically ranges between €95 and €1240. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Solid wood parquet is the traditional option. Each plank is 100 per cent solid natural wood, typically oak, ash, or walnut. Much more expensive to buy and install, but it gives unique character to the room because each plank has a distinct natural grain. Its great advantage is indefinite durability. If it wears or gets damaged, it can be re-sanded and re-varnished multiple times throughout its life. This is what was used in old, high-end apartments and what we recommend for premium home renovations where the budget allows.
