Our 7 reasons to choose a wooden floor
In every environment, either public and private, the floor has a fundamental role in defining the style and aesthetics, which is why the choice of the material to be used is very important: this choice must be made consciously, knowing the merits (but also the defects) and the differences that each material. The floor becomes an integral part of the interior of a house: unlike furnishing accessories, its duration is considerable and is often the entire life of the house, so this may make his choice very difficult, also considerino the vast choice and confusion of materials.This article aims to be a starting point and a help to show how parquet, unlike other surfaces such as ceramics, stoneware, or resin (but also others), is always the right choice because it combines both practical and aesthetic needs. It gives home a comfort that other materials do not have.
Here are our 7 reasons to choose parquet as a type of floor:
1.All the beauty of Nature
Parquet is a product that comes from wood, a completely natural material, alive and entirely renewable. The different wood species, the multiple veins and color variation, and the different aesthetic imperfections are a real testimony of its nature, that make it unique and highly appreciated. Laying a wooden floor in your home, or in other areas, is equivalent to enhancing the interior with a living material that gives warmth and well-being.
2.Duration, strength and easy cleaning
A wooden floor is not as delicate as iwe are normally led to think: it certainly requires little attention but if built according to quality standards it is a floor that lasts a lifetime and is suitable for all rooms in the house, even in the bathroom and kitchen.
Then there are superficial processes - such as saw-cutting, sandblasting and “Millerighe” - which tend to strengthen the surface, making it suitable for environments with high traffic (eg public places). The final finish protects then the surface from scratches and stains. Small defects or damages are however easy to restore, but it is also true that a lived in wood floor acquires charm. Using the right products and a well-wrung wet cloth, cleaning is as simple and fast as any other material.
3.Adaptability
The wooden floor can be adapted to any environment, both public and private, and in any context: from the small city loft to a villa in the country, from the beach house to the chalet in the mountains. Parquet is no longer just a floor covering, but thanks to its versatility and elegance, it has become a typical element characterizing interior design. It also finds space in many areas of our homes: nowadays it is no longer seen only as laid in the sleeping area, such as the bedrooms, but thanks to special special treatments, it can be installed safely even in the most delicate areas of the house like the kitchen and bathroom.
4.Customization and versatility
The parquet is a type of floor that adapts to any environment, both public and private, from the small city loft to the villa on the outskirts, from the beach house to the mountain chalet. It can be customized in a great number of possibilities: in different shapes, respond to different dimensional needs and also can be customized in color, with hand-made works on the surface and on the finishes. You can create unique and unrepeatable products. The wooden floor is no longer to be seen only as a surface but - thanks to its versatility and elegance - it has become a characterizing element of interior design. A customized product made according to the needs and requirements of each customer.
5.Domestic well-being
Only a natural and living material can offer you the wonderful feeling you get when you walk barefoot on a wooden floor.Walking barefoot on a tile is definitely not the same: you wouldn’t get the warmth and well-being emitted by the contact with Nature. This is why a wooden floor is synonymous with living comfort: the tactile perception help make us feel good, eliminating the stress and tensions.
6.Respect for the environment
Choosing a wooden floor means paying particular attention to human health and the environment. Wood is a natural, precious material with a long life, completely recyclable and therefore sustainable. For a better guarantee you can request the certified products: all the woods bearing the FSC® (Forest Stewarship Council) mark come from a controlled forest management, according to specific regulations for environmental protection.
7.An excellent insulating solution
Parquet responds to both thermal and acoustic insulation requirements. Thanks to the natural characteristics of wood, it is able to keep the internal temperature of the rooms always constant, especially where there is a under floor heating. A warm floor in winter and cool in summer. With a cork support the floor can also be an excellent sound-absorbing matter.
