Choosing the right floor is one of the most important decisions when designing a room. Parquet and laminate are the two most popular options, but what makes parquet so special and why is it worth investing in a real wooden floor?
Parquet is made of real wood, which not only creates a warm, natural look, but also conveys a unique feel and radiance. Each parquet floor is unique, giving your home an individual touch with its natural grain and color tones. In contrast to laminate, which merely imitates the look of wood, parquet consists of solid or multi-layered real wood elements, which makes it more durable and resistant. With the right care, a high-quality parquet floor can last for decades and can even be sanded and renovated several times if necessary.
Parquet also scores highly in terms of sustainability: wood is a natural, renewable raw material that is an environmentally friendly choice when managed responsibly. Laminate, on the other hand, is made from artificial materials that are not as easy to recycle and often do not have the same lifespan as parquet.
Another advantage of parquet is its living comfort: real wood has better thermal insulation and feels pleasantly warm underfoot. The acoustics in the room also benefit from parquet flooring, as it absorbs sound better than laminate flooring. Of course, the choice between parquet and laminate also depends on your budget and personal preferences. But if you are looking for naturalness, durability and timeless elegance, parquet is the ideal choice for your home.
