Here in the following, we will learn about different types of bambus produkte.

The term "parquet" is a controlled appellation. A bambus furnier must have a minimum facing of 2.5 mm of noble wood, it is very precise. The siding is the layer of wear of the floor, the part that can be renovated.

Thus, solid parkettboden is real parquet, since there is only the noble matter, the wood and that is all. A laminate can benefit from the designation parquet if its wear layer, it's visible and upper part, is 2.5 mm.

The massive parquet:

The solid massivholzplatten kaufen is parquet par excellence. It consists only of wood, so-called noble material. Certain stability must be respected for the manufacture of the solid parquet, one cannot manufacture anything, the wood being a living matter, it moves.
Thus for thicknesses of 14 mm, the solid parquet will not be greater than a width

of 140 mm. Some exceptions are made on the market, beware. Beyond, it will take a thicker floor, 20 or 23 mm, to reach much larger widths (up to 220 mm) but the cost will be higher.

Engineered or floating parquet:

The laminated or floating floors are with several layers pressed together. A layer of noble wood on the top of at least 2.5 mm, a wooden block or wood fiber support and a resinous counterbalance are glued together to form a parquet.

Why choose a laminate rather than a solid?

The trend is wide and long blades, laminated parquet is perfectly suited. Because they are much more stable thanks to their support panels, the width of the laminates can be easily extended without increasing the thickness of the parquet. The most common widths in the trade-in engineered parquet vary from 140 to 220 mm.

The cost of the product is then added to the size arguments of the laminate. Laminate Terrassendielen can be cheaper than solid parquet, but not always. There are many laminates more expensive than solid parquet; it all depends on their finish but also the thickness of the wear layer.

Indeed, a laminated with a wear layer of 2.5 mm, the minimum to call it parquet, will be cheaper than a solid. The more the wear layer increases, the closer one gets to solid parquet and the more the price increases.

Today you will find on the market laminate flooring that is called "semi-massive"; the wear layers of wood can vary from 4 mm up to 6 mm. The prices of these high-end laminates will be much higher.
