The main advantages of oak parquet are its appearance and durability. Oak gives each strip of flooring a unique appearance, offering timeless charm to any room.

Oak is also a robust wood that stands up well to everyday wear and tear, making it an excellent choice for everyday rooms and high-traffic areas.
Oak parquet wood choices
The choice of wood for a parquet floor refers to the level of selection of the floorboards before they are manufactured. Oak parquet offers a variety of wood choices (PR, PR-BIS, Confort, Rustique, Campagne, Sauvage, Nature), each with its own characteristics (knots, sapwood, colour variations, etc.).
Solid oak parquet
- Solid oak flooring is renowned for its timeless charm and durability. Solid oak flooring brings incomparable warmth and elegance to any room in your home. It can be sanded and refinished several times, extending its longevity over many decades without the need to change your entire floor.
- Semi-massive oak parquet
- Semi-massive (Loft Pro) oak parquet is the ideal solution for those looking for both the renewability of solid parquet and the stability of engineered parquet. Built on a plywood base offering exceptional stability, semi-massive oak flooring has a top layer ranging from 3.2 mm to 7 mm thick. This gives semi-massive parquet exceptional strength and durability.
Engineered Oak Flooring
Engineered oak parquet (Loft) is a 3-layer parquet consisting of a counter-balance, a laminated plywood middle and an oak facing. The latter is between 2.5 and 3.2 mm thick, depending on the model selected. Oak engineered parquet can be laid either floating or glued down, depending on your preferences.
