Parquet board: pros and cons

Parquet board, like any material, has its pros and cons.

The main advantages of the floorboard

1. Value for money: almost all real estate agents agree that parquet floors in a kitchen increase the value of a home beyond their original cost. Parquet flooring will last as long as your house lasts, so it will never need to be replaced. In fact, in many house demolitions, hardwood floorboards are removed intact and recycled, so it can be said that your hardwood floorboards can actually outlast your home.
2. Environmentally friendly: wood is a renewable resource. Today, hardwood in Australia is harvested from plantations or carefully managed forests, ensuring that supplies never run out and that minimal damage will be caused to the surrounding flora and fauna. In many cases, the forest industry is currently actively involved in reforestation and wildlife conservation projects.
3. Parquet floors help keep your home environment healthier. This is one of the main reasons why so many homeowners are replacing hardwood floors and other hardwood floorboards. Hardwood does not contain dust, mold, dust mites, cat dander and other substances that can cause or worsen allergies and other health problems.
4. Parquet floors are beautiful: nothing can compare with the warm, natural shades of hardwood. With so many types and colors available, you can find hardwoods that are perfect for your home.
   Parquet floors are easy to clean. After installation and sealing, your parquet floor will look great for many years, and this will require only ordinary cleaning and maintenance.

What are the disadvantages of the material

1. Massive wood is more expensive than many other floor coverings; it also has other disadvantages.
2. Hardwood floorboards require periodic grinding and polishing.
3. Parquet boards cannot be easily replaced if you want to change your flooring material.

Are these flaws truly flaws or are they simply perceived as flaws? Although it is true that the cost of laying solid wood floors is more expensive than laying carpets or vinyl tiles, parquet floors are eternal, while other types of flooring need regular replacement. Yes, you may have to grind and polish the floor once or twice during the life of your home, this is no more costly than replacing other types of flooring. No, you cannot easily raise the parquet floor, but why do you need it? Most homeowners never get tired of their wooden floors and actually value them even more over the years.
