The choice between different types of wood or wood-effect flooring depends on three main factors: budget, intended use, and desired aesthetic. Laminate floating flooring AC4, which is what we sell most of today, combines very good value for money with resistance to heavy use. It consists of a top layer of melamine with a realistic wood effect (high durability against scratches), a core of high-density fibreboard, and a balancing layer underneath. The top layer has an AC4 rating (suitable for heavy 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 sanded and re-varnished if damaged. Solid wood parquet is the traditional option. Each plank is 100 percent solid natural wood, typically oak, ash, or walnut. Significantly 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 installed in old high-end flats and what we recommend for premium home renovations where the budget allows.
