Hi everyone,
while looking for parquet, we came across HQ parquet from Holzland. They finally have one that we really like and the price is at least not completely out of range. Currently, we are at 47 € for country house plank parquet (185*20 cm) and 4 mm wear layer.
Only, the stuff is only sold through the timber trade (which is actually a good thing) and therefore you can't find any experiences on the internet.

So the question is: Has anyone installed it at home, seen it at friends' places or similar and can share any experiences?

Best regards,

Andreas

Hello Andreas. I think the negation by the term "Zeug" is not justified here or anywhere else. We are talking about a mid-priced multilayer parquet. What experiences should be useful here? Every situation in which there are problems is somehow different. Who could know that better than me? Even at HOLZLAND, parquet materials are offered that MUST meet the requirements of DIN EN 13489. General advice from some unverified sources on the internet is not suitable to form an objective and thus useful picture of a product. So primarily look at the technical properties, such as the locking mechanism between the elements and the classification of the area of use. Everything is on the packaging; well readable, partly also as symbols. That should have priority over any "experiences," whose backgrounds mostly remain hidden. -------------- Regards: KlaRa

Hi,
just as general feedback. We ended up choosing the parquet after we were just under €40 in price.
We like it very much, but the quality of the locks is just so-so. My installer was only lukewarmly enthusiastic. He said; mid-range, okay, but it’s really not great. Just what you can expect for the money. He usually installs floors in about double the price range.

So far, everything is okay, but:

There was and still is quite a big point of contention with the dealer/manufacturer:
We ordered and paid for 400 / 1865*189 mm (that’s what the invoice says). So 400 country-style planks.
50 packages were delivered with 8 / 1865*189 mm, so 8 planks per package.
The kicker was that in EVERY package, 2 of the 8 layers were not from one long plank of 186 cm but two 93 cm planks. Not broken, but intentional.
So in every package, there were 6 long and 4 short planks instead of 8 long planks!
This naturally caused a huge problem in the installation pattern. We set most of the short planks aside. We fitted a dressing room with them and used some in a hallway. The rest is left over, so we ran out of material in the guest room.

I don’t want to complain too loudly yet, the dealer is signaling that we can come to a proper agreement, but initially they argued that this was normal, that all manufacturers do it like this, and so on. According to my installation specialist, complete nonsense; he had never seen anything like it.
That there are also half planks is of course fine. In principle, it’s not a bad idea and there are situations where it really helps. But simply foisting this stuff on the customer is more than cheeky!

Therefore the question:
are there other manufacturers where this also happens? And can one really argue "layer-wise"? Meaning, the layer still measures 1865*189 mm?

Even that wouldn’t save the dealer in my case in my opinion. The invoice explicitly states 400 / 1865*189 mm. So we are clearly talking about 400 pieces, period.
And even if such a layer-wise division were "standard practice in the industry," as a layman, he would have had to inform me about it in writing.
If they don’t move reasonably, I see this as pretty borderline in terms of "legally very questionable business practices."

We were, however, very impressed with the laminate from the Holzland company. We installed that in the basement and it’s really great!

Best regards,

Andreas

Hello Andreas. If you ordered parquet boards with the dimensions 1865*189 mm with 8 boards per package, then the boards you pay for must also have this dimension! Because it is quite possible that you want to install the parquet boards in a "English pattern". In every second row, the seams of the butt joints overlap. With the delivered dimensions, however, this is not possible; it cannot be done with a "mix of different lengths". Argumentation of the dealer aside: here you should have refrained from installation and checked the entire delivery, and returned the respective packages with faulty, unauthorized content. Now the same applies to the end consumer as to the professional installer: as soon as he takes over the goods or a preliminary work, the warranty as well as the risk also pass to him. --------------------------- Regards: KlaRa

May I dig up this thread again and ask about long-term experience with the HQ parquet? Would you choose it again? Any disadvantages or loss of quality? Did you glue it down?
