How to choose the right parquet
The choice of woods we offer is very accurate. In fact, these are “living” materials that respond differently depending on the environment in which they are installed. For this we recommend different solutions suitable for the specific case, so as to guarantee that sense of warmth and welcome in every environment, enhancing every nuance of the wood.
The choice of parquet depends on various factors, such as the thickness and size of the boards or strips, the type of floor finish and the method of installation. It is necessary to consider whether it is a new installation, if combined with a tiled floor, if the installation will be glued or floating. It is also important to consider the size of the environment in which the parquet will be installed and if you want to give an environment an additional value compared to others.
Finishing for parquet floors
The possible finishes for parquet floors are in varnish or oil: the varnish finish can be cleaned simply with soap and water and has the advantage of not leaving stains or streaks of water or the like if they fall on the parquet (due to these particular characteristics the paint finish is recommended for bathrooms and kitchens). On the other hand, in the case of scratches and streaks of parquet with varnish finishes, it is necessary to sand the floor in order to remove them.

The alternative, consisting of an oil finish, leaves the surface of the wood in a state closer to the natural one, with an open pore, making the typical appearance of very warm and lively parquet more. In this case, any scratches and streaks on the parquet can be treated locally and compensated for with the application of restoration oil. On the other hand, the treatment of parquet with oil, compared to that with varnish, does not offer the same protection against stains of oil or other substances, including water, which can leave slight marks, in the presence of which you can always groped to remedy by resorting to a new draft of oil on them. Furthermore, the oil must be wiped at least once every two years, in order to obtain a lively and shiny floor effect.
Generally, a varnish finish is appropriate for parquet with more or less small strips, which in any case highlights the grain of the wood, unlike oil treatments.

LAMINATED PARQUET |
Laminated parquet is composed of a wooden panel on which high-definition optical decorative sheets are applied that reproduce the wood effect of the parquet they are inspired by. This type of parquet is cheaper and more resistant, therefore ideal for flooring homes where it is not possible to install a wooden parquet. The installation of the laminate parquet is rather quick. However, it requires the necessary attention so that the aesthetic result is optimal. This type of flooring does not present significant customization possibilities as it is already complete with finishing.

PRE-FINISHED PARQUET |
The pre-finished parquet represents the perfect combination of present and future. It represents the true essence of wood combined with innovative processes. This type of parquet has been designed to offer the customer a large-format parquet with the stability of the plank suitable for laying on radiant substrates. The pre-finished parquet is made up of several layers of wood: the most superficial is normally a few millimeters and is made of precious wood, while the lower layers that act as a support are made of different varieties of less noble wood, which however ensure stability and resistance over time. The pre-finished parquet can be of two or more layers. For its installation, a sound-absorbing propylene mat is spread on which the strips are then placed, wedged together and kept even more united thanks to a light glue applied to the female joint of each plank. The pre-finished parquet can be totally customized in size and color, as well as being immediately walkable after installation.
