Massivparkett

Massivparkett, also known as solid wood flooring, is a type of flooring made entirely from solid timber. Unlike engineered wood flooring, which consists of a layer of hardwood bonded to a base of plywood or particleboard, massivparkett is milled from a single piece of wood. This means that each plank is uniform in thickness and composition.

The types of wood used for massivparkett vary, with oak being a popular choice due to its durability and attractive grain. Other common options include beech, maple, walnut, and exotic woods like merbau. The planks come in various dimensions, lengths, and widths, offering a range of aesthetic possibilities.

Installation of massivparkett typically involves gluing or nailing the planks directly to a subfloor. Due to its solid nature, it can be sanded and refinished multiple times over its lifespan, allowing for restoration and a prolonged service life. This characteristic makes it a sustainable choice.

Massivparkett is known for its natural beauty, warmth, and the unique character that solid wood brings to a space. It is durable and can withstand heavy foot traffic, making it suitable for both residential and commercial applications. However, it is sensitive to changes in humidity and temperature, which can cause expansion or contraction. Proper acclimatization before installation and maintaining a stable indoor climate are crucial for its longevity. Its sound-dampening qualities are generally considered good, contributing to a quieter environment.
