The choice between different types of wood or wood-effect flooring depends on three main factors: budget, intended use, and desired aesthetics. Laminate floating flooring AC4, which is what we sell most of today, offers a great balance of quality and price with resistance to intensive use. It consists of a top layer of melamine with a realistic wood effect (high resistance to friction), a high-density fibreboard core, and a balancing layer underneath. The top layer is rated AC4 (suitable for intensive domestic use or moderate commercial use) and withstands 25,000 abrasion cycles without visible wear. For standard domestic use, it lasts 15-25 years looking good. Its drawback is that while visually very realistic, it's not natural wood and cannot be sanded and re-varnished if damaged in places.

For areas of very intensive use (entrances, hallways, high-traffic stairs), we recommend not using floating flooring because concentrated intensive use deteriorates the top layer faster than in residential areas. For these zones, porcelain stoneware or natural stone last much longer.

We check for flatness, moisture, and substrate level before proposing flooring types. The second critical step is the moisture barrier. On ground floors or over damp slabs, a polyethylene sheet must be laid before the acoustic mat. Without a barrier, moisture will rise, swell the flooring from underneath, and within 6-12 months, you'll see undulations that can no longer be removed. For damp areas (kitchens, bathrooms), there are specific anti-damp and anti-mould plastic paints that resist condensation and steam without developing black mould stains. Application requires a preliminary primer with a fungicidal product if mould traces were already present.

Flooring with official manufacturer warranty (10-25 years) plus our installation coverage. 10-15 years official manufacturer warranty on standard AC4 floating flooring. 25 years on premium ranges. Plus 30 days our installation coverage. If the roller shutter slats are cracked, discoloured, and brittle (typical for shutters over 25-30 years old, exposed to the sun), patching them individually makes no economic sense. Replacing the entire shutter with a modern model costs two to three times more than just changing the strap. In return, you get another 25-30 years without problems. Modern slats are injected and filled with polyurethane, making them much better insulators than the old hollow ones, thus improving thermal insulation. And you can opt for factory-integrated motorisation.

The price for furniture restoration in Sant Gervasi - Galvany 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% solid natural wood, typically oak, ash, or walnut. Much more expensive to buy and install, but it gives a unique character to the room as each plank has a distinct natural grain. Its great advantage is indefinite durability. If it wears or gets damaged, it can be sanded and re-varnished several times throughout its life. This is what was used in old high-standing apartments and what we recommend for premium home renovations where the budget allows.
