Parquet and wood floor coverings

The market for wood floor coverings has grown in recent years in Europe, thanks to the confidence inspired by their appearance and their hygienic, soundproofing and heat-insulating properties.

The criteria guiding the choice of a parquet floor are as much aesthetic as they are related to its conditions of use. In fact, the very wide variety of parquet families and woods means they can be adapted to a wide range of situations (home, auditorium, gymnasium...). The subsequent use of the room in which the parquet is installed determines not only the wood, decor and finish, but also the installation (glued, nailed, etc.), underlay, maintenance and renovation.

Regulations specify the performance of parquet flooring in terms of acoustic insulation and fire resistance. Numerous standards establish the rules of the art for the installation of different types of parquet.

Choosing a parquet floor is a technical decision, and its installation requires the skills of a professional.
