Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between stave parquet and engineered herringbone parquet?

Stave parquet is solid wood all the way through, so it can be sanded several times over its lifetime. Engineered herringbone parquet has real wood only in its top layer, and it is usually factory-finished and ready to use straight after installation.

What patterns can stave parquet be laid in?

Stave parquet can be laid in staggered straight rows, herringbone, square patterns and other classic designs. The most popular is herringbone, which gives a room a timeless, lively look.

Does stave parquet need sanding after installation?

Unfinished stave parquet is sanded smooth once the adhesive has dried, then lacquered, oiled or treated with hardwax oil. Factory-finished stave parquet doesn't need sanding after installation – it's ready to use straight away.

Should I choose oak or ash stave parquet?

Oak is hard, even in tone and the most common parquet wood. Ash is also hard and durable, but lighter in colour with a more pronounced grain. The choice mainly depends on the look and interior style you want.

Strip Parquet – Classic Parquet Made Entirely of Hardwood

Strip parquet is a traditional and timeless parquet solution made from 100% hardwood. Its strong construction allows for a wide variety of laying patterns – from classic herringbone and square patterns to the English (ladder) pattern. You can also create border friezes along the walls, giving the floor an even more elegant and exclusive look.

Advantages of strip parquet – durable and renewable for years to come

Strip parquet suits historic buildings and modern interiors alike. Its solid hardwood construction offers the following advantages:

Durable and long-lasting

  • Suitable for high-traffic areas, e.g. living rooms, hallways and public spaces

  • Can be sanded and refinished – depending on the thickness (10–22 mm), up to 6–16 times

A completely natural solution

  • Contains no glued or synthetic materials – also well suited to allergy sufferers

  • Preserves the natural beauty and value of the wood for decades

Versatile laying options

  • Allows different laying patterns (herringbone, square pattern, friezes, etc.)

  • Patterns can be combined in the same or different rooms to create a unified design

Installation – only by full-surface gluing to the subfloor

Why can’t strip parquet be installed as a floating floor?

It is solid wood which, as a natural material, expands and contracts – that is why glue-down installation is the only suitable method, ensuring stability and a long service life.

Advantages of glue-down installation

  • Allows patterned designs (herringbone, square pattern, friezes)

  • Suitable for rooms with underfloor heating – using a special polyurethane primer and elastic adhesive

  • Lower thermal resistance and better footstep noise reduction compared to floating installation

  • Allows trim-free, visually seamless transitions without the need for expansion joints between rooms
