Bamboo, Wood or cork floors – What to choose?

Posted by John Smith on January 18th, 2020


The wooden floor is also good for the feet since it is an elastic and warm material. If you are careful and avoid having too much water, you can even have it placed by a professional solid parquet in the bathroom. 

Normally, the solid landhausdielen sticks to the floor and is not sanded until after it has been placed. This procedure can be repeated from time to time to remove scratches on the floor, for example.

Cork tiles can also be sanded several times. The tiles stick firmly to the subfloor. Cork comes mostly from cork oaks. For several decades, these trees can be barked every 8 or 10 years without dying. 

Cork is a soft material, so it protects the joints. Like wood, cork gives feet warmth and does not charge electrostatically. Solid cork tiles can also be glued on the bathroom floor.

The multilayer parquet, prefabricated, is also a wood product. It is usually composed of 3 layers: a carrier layer, a back of the wood veneer and a layer of a noble wood roof. 

The durability of the multilayer terrassendielen depends primarily on the thickness of the back of veneer. If it has a minimum thickness of four millimeters, the multilayer parquet can be sanded once or twice.

Laminate floors are protected from moisture by specially glued carrier boards. Many manufacturers have in their assortment coatings that also have special corners. 

These floors are suitable for interiors with high humidity, such as the bathroom. Generally, the laminate floors, as well as the prefabricated wooden, bamboo and cork parquets are placed floatingly. This means that the different elements form a coherent table that is not attached to the subfloor.
