Solid parquet is the traditional option. Each board is 100% 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 board has a distinct natural grain. Its great advantage is indefinite durability. If it wears or gets damaged, it can be sanded and varnished again 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. 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 what we sell most today, combines very good value for money with resistance to intensive use. It consists of a top layer of melamine 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 rating (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 looking good. Its drawback is that although visually very realistic, it is not natural wood and cannot be sanded and re-varnished if damaged at any point. For areas of very intensive use (entrances, hallways, continuously trafficked stairs), we recommend not using floating flooring because its concentrated intensive use deteriorates the top layer faster than in residential areas. For those areas, porcelain stoneware or natural stone last much longer.

We check the flatness, humidity, and level of the subfloor before proposing a 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 blanket. Without a barrier, moisture rises, swells the flooring from underneath, and undulations appear after 6-12 months that can no longer be eliminated. We replace broken tapes, substitute damaged slats, and repair roller shutter boxes that have deteriorated over the years. If the shutter no longer goes up or makes noise, we adjust the mechanism or install a new one, either manual or motorised.

Flooring with official manufacturer's warranty (10-25 years) plus our installation coverage. No, we choose the product compatible with each material (stoneware, marble, microcement, parquet) after a prior assessment. This is precisely what prevents scratching or clouding new surfaces.
