Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between veneer parquet and conventional parquet?

Veneer parquet has a thin wood veneer as its top layer, while conventional engineered parquet has a thicker solid wood wear layer. Veneer parquet is therefore thinner and uses less hardwood, but it cannot be sanded like conventional parquet.

Is veneer parquet real wood?

Yes, the surface of veneer parquet is a real wood veneer, so every board has its own natural grain and tone. Beneath the veneer is a stable multi-layer core that keeps the floor dimensionally stable.

Is veneer parquet suitable for underfloor heating?

Yes, thin veneer parquet conducts heat well and is suitable for underfloor heating. As a rule, the floor surface temperature should not exceed 27 °C. Exact underfloor heating details are given in the product details.

How should I care for veneer parquet?

Clean veneer parquet with a vacuum cleaner and a slightly damp cloth, and use a care product suited to the finish. Fit felt pads under furniture legs and put a doormat by the entrance, as the thin veneer cannot be sanded to remove scratches.

Veneered Parquet – the Beauty of Natural Wood, a Sensible Price and Durability

Veneered parquet is a smart choice for anyone who appreciates the natural look and feel of wood but wants it at a lower price and with a smaller environmental footprint. It is a multi-layer floor covering whose top layer is a thin hardwood veneer – such as oak, ash or walnut – on a stable, strong HDF core supported by a bottom balancing layer.

Advantages of veneered parquet

  • The look of natural wood
    Thanks to the genuine wood veneer, the surface of veneered parquet has the same texture, finish and warm feel as classic natural parquet.

  • A sensible price
    Veneered parquet is considerably more affordable than classic plank parquet or natural parquet, as less hardwood is used.

  • Good stability and dimensional accuracy
    The multi-layer construction ensures resistance to temperature fluctuations and moisture.

  • Resistance to water damage
    Our veneered parquet floors are noticeably more resistant to damage caused by moisture and water than conventional oak parquet on a wooden core.

  • Suitable for underfloor heating
    Thanks to the HDF core and lower overall thickness, veneered parquet has a lower thermal resistance than natural parquet, making it very well suited to rooms with underfloor heating.

  • High dent resistance
    The strong HDF core makes veneered parquet more resistant to dents and impressions (e.g. from high heels or heavy objects being dropped).

Installation options

Veneered parquet can be installed either floating or glued down. Both methods have their own advantages depending on the purpose of the room and the technical requirements.

Floating installation (click system)

  • Simple and quick installation

  • Use of a high-quality underlay with high compressive strength is recommended

  • Well suited to home use and renovation projects

Glue-down installation

  • Ensures better thermal conductivity and lower footstep noise

  • Allows installation without expansion joints even over larger areas

  • Well suited to commercial premises and rooms with underfloor heating
