Does parquet only have advantages compared to design flooring?

I would definitely tend towards design flooring. We have the Modular One from Parador. It looks very stylish and so far has been very durable with two small children, and it also carries the Blue Angel - so no plasticizers inside.

In the old rental apartment, we had parquet and found the constantly new dents and scratches very annoying - if that doesn't bother you, parquet is also a good choice.

It always depends on what you want: a natural product that, however, develops its own patina over time, or a very resilient floor. Then you can look for design flooring with the Blue Angel at Parador or Meister, for example.

As we were explained, however, the Blue Angel is always only awarded in comparison to other manufacturers within the industry. Since the flooring industry generally works with many chemical agents, I did not trust this label much. We then decided on parquet because the risk of emissions from vinyl (which we already had with new furniture in our old rental apartment) was too high for me, especially back then with a baby.

Sensitivities can vary so much. We have the same floor. We find it rather sensitive and the feel is terrible. There are also color variations in ours. We are absolutely dissatisfied with it, luckily it is only installed in the basement.

Was it a hard wood, something like oak?

if you step on it, it gives way strongly and then goes back into a hollow spot. The guys did level the floor, but here it either still seems uneven, or the parquet is sagging badly.

Did you have this installed in a new building with a relatively level screed?

We installed a rustic oak floor upstairs about six years ago and only oiled it. The knots were originally filled with epoxy, which has the great advantage that larger dents can be refilled with epoxy. However, we only had to do this once with little effort, and the floor looks like new. In heavily frequented areas, I personally would not install parquet; that would be too delicate for me. Especially the lacquered surfaces can then look very shabby.

Good that there are no really heavily frequented areas in a single-family house. You find those in commercial spaces – and even there, parquet is often laid.
