Wooden parquet has long been a preferred choice for interior flooring due to its timeless elegance and exceptional properties. Among the various wood options, oak stands out as the reigning essence for parquet. Sourced from French or European forests, oak is considered a reliable choice, providing consumers with a guarantee of quality and safety.
Here are 5 reasons why choosing oak parquet can enhance your interior over other flooring options!
1°/ Exceptional Properties
Oak, as a flooring material, has numerous advantages. Its unparalleled hardness and strength make it resistant to both impacts and the effects of time. Contrary to common belief, oak also exhibits fire resistance, burning more slowly than other materials.
With a high density, oak offers excellent thermal insulation, a crucial aspect in today’s focus on energy efficiency. Being natural, healthy, and antistatic, oak parquet provides comfort, well-being, and maintains an ambient temperature for your feet.
2°/ Adaptable to All Rooms
Concerned about installing wood parquet in a bathroom? It’s understandable. However, with the right installation – full glued application and the addition of waterproof joints – it is entirely possible. Applying a protective finish (oil or varnish) is essential for preserving the parquet and facilitating easy cleaning.
Beyond practicality, oak parquet is infinitely customizable. Timeless and versatile, this chameleon-like flooring can be tailored to your preferences, from plank dimensions and installation patterns to wood quality and finishes, offering a personalized and unique touch.
3°/ Environmentally Friendly Choice
Did you know that wood stores CO2 and undergoes minimal transformations during industrialization, emitting fewer greenhouse gases than the production of other flooring materials? Oak, sourced from locally managed forests, supports continuous renewal, emphasizing its environmental sustainability.
Our company promotes this aspect by favoring a short production cycle, from selecting wood in local forests to finishing the parquets – every step is completed at our production site in Givry.
