Parquet board or multilayer parquet is an environmentally friendly building material used for finishing floors indoors. The base of the parquet board is in most cases unchanged: moisture-resistant plywood, solid pine. Next comes the top valuable layer of elite wood about 3-4 mm, which is covered with varnish or oil. Hardwood is used for the top layer: oak, beech, merbau, walnut, zebrano, etc. The classic option is, of course, oak in all modifications. The cost of 1 sq. meter of parquet board depends directly on the type of wood used and on the technical changes made with the help of high-precision machines on the surface of the top valuable layer. Let's clearly demonstrate an example. The wonderful Austrian company scheucher has prepared a huge range of elite parquet boards with unusual structural surfaces.
With surface treatment of the upper valuable layer - the cost of such a parquet board will be several times higher than a regular board, even with a one- or two-strip chamfer, since much more resources are job seekers data on the production of parquet with surface treatment. Wood species are classified according to several hardness values, which we have already described in the article: How is the hardness of a parquet board measured?
Conclusion: The denser the wood and the lower it is in the Brinell table, the more difficult it is to process and, accordingly, the more expensive.
To keep your floor in perfect condition, maintain a comfortable temperature in the room at all times and monitor the humidity.
DoorWuds.ru recommends using additional air humidifiers during the heating season if the air in the room is too dry.
If the humidity in the room is too high, use dehumidifiers or ventilate the room more often. Protect your parquet from sand and dirt, then it will serve you for many years.
Wood is a natural material, so over time, the board may change its shade under the influence of sunlight. Such a change is often beneficial for flooring made of natural wood. But there are also negative aspects that are worth paying attention to. During operation, parquet boards acquire scuffs, scratches, potholes - this is inevitable. The stronger the surface protection, the longer the parquet board will retain its properties.
Coating with high-quality oils and wax is gaining popularity among buyers and designers, such coating has long been a trend. Oil coating reveals the full depth of wood textures, gives it a velvety feel on a matte surface. The floor "breathes" because the pores in the wood texture are open. This ensures the air permeability of the material, creating a feeling of cleanliness and health in the room. When coating parquet boards with oil by rubbing, deep penetration and filling of the wood fiber occurs, followed by drying of the composition by oxidation with oxygen. A combined product based on natural waxes and oils will perfectly emphasize the texture of the wood, revealing all the beauty of the natural shine. As a rule, the entire coating composition is environmentally friendly, passes all tests and certifications according to US and EU standards.
