Parquet Surface Coverings

Parquet surface coverings – sustainable, robust and aesthetically pleasing

Parquet is far more than just a floor covering: it combines aesthetic design, natural materials and sustainable use. As a flooring made from real wood, parquet contributes to a healthy indoor climate by absorbing and releasing moisture from the air. This ensures a comfortable living experience and a cosy atmosphere – a decisive advantage over synthetic floor coverings.

Parquet types for every requirement

Parquet impresses both through its aesthetic variety and functional properties. It is generally divided into solid (single-layer) parquet and engineered (multi-layer) parquet:

• Solid parquet: Made entirely of solid wood, exceptionally durable and can be refurbished multiple times
• Engineered parquet: Composed of two to three glued layers, with the top layer made of solid wood. Ideal for easy installation while maintaining stability

Parquet offers extreme versatility:

• Formats: Planks, panel parquet and parquet veneers
• Designs: Classic herringbone, basket weave or mosaic – each design creates a unique spatial effect
• Installation methods: Fully glued or floating, also suitable for underfloor heating

The combination of wood type, design and surface treatment allows for bespoke interior solutions, tailored to any style or room size.

Wood types and surfaces – for every interior style

Parquet offers an immense variety of wood species and colours: from maple, birch or olive to cedar, merbau or wenge. Light woods such as ash, oak or birch create a bright, modern feel, while dark woods like wenge or walnut give rooms a particularly elegant and warm character.

Surfaces can be lacquered or oiled:

• Lacquered parquet: Creates a closed protective layer, easy to maintain and durable
• Oiled parquet: Enhances the natural grain, remains open-pored and develops a warm, authentic texture

Sustainability and longevity

Parquet is an ecologically sustainable flooring solution as it is made from renewable raw materials. Its lifespan is significantly extended through multiple sanding and refinishing, offering long-term cost savings and resource conservation. The robustness of parquet also makes it ideal for high-traffic areas and representative spaces.
