Holzland Lecher parquet own brand Belmono - experiences?

Hello,

after many months of searching for parquet, we have finally found a floor that we really like.

It is the Castellano Schlossdiele from Belmono.

It is produced in Bosnia and Herzegovina, I have already been in contact with the manufacturer. So far, everything sounded quite okay, the manufacturer gives a reasonable impression. I could also buy directly from the manufacturer, but then I would have to take care of shipping and import, so the purchase is only feasible through Holzland Becher, or via a floor installer. This is a new building (apartment), we don’t have a floor installer yet, so no one to ask about this.

When you look around at dealers etc., you mostly see Haro, Kährs, Meister, and Parador, as well as various private labels, like HQ at Holzland Becker, or Belmono at Holzland Becher.

The selection of Schlossdielen is by far not as diverse as that of Landhausdielen. We especially like the Belmono floor because of the dimensions, 350x24cm. The individual plank already looks fantastic visually in the store!

The Schlossdielen from Haro and others sometimes cost twice as much as the Belmono planks... now the question arises whether the price difference really only comes from the name, or if the Belmono plank is not of equally high quality?

It is important to us to have a high-quality floor that gives us a lot of joy for the coming years. In principle, I would also be willing to pay the extra cost for Haro and co., but there is no plank look there that we like as much as the one from Belmono. There is another floor from Hain that would look okay, but it would cost about twice as much per square meter, and it would only look “okay”.

Does anyone know Belmono and can tell me something about their quality?

Hello ea-tec,

I have sent you a PM on the topic and look forward to your feedback.

Best regards

Hello everyone,

Can anyone else say something about the Castellano floorboards from Belmono / Becher Holz? We currently like them too - but unfortunately we cannot assess the quality. Does anyone have experience with them? Or perhaps a design-comparable alternative?

Thanks & best regards

Hello Sebastian,

I’ll just reply publicly, even though it seems no one else is interested in the topic.

In the end, we went with Haro parquet, but only because I sit right at the source and got the Haro parquet so cheaply that I couldn’t say no. Haro is just Haro, you know what you’re getting. In the end, I simply had the better feeling about it.

Belmono is the private label of Becher Holz and is produced in Bosnia; the manufacturer is called Drvoprodex.

I myself come from Bosnia and have been to the factory. As far as I can judge as a layman, everything is top-notch. Very professional, but it couldn’t be otherwise given the sheer volume processed and exported there.

But, and this is my only concern: in Bosnia, they aren’t very strict about logging overall, so they sometimes log where they actually shouldn’t, etc. Sure, that might also happen with Haro. But in Bosnia, I witness it live when I’m down there because I know some furniture manufacturers there and know how some of them operate.

To be fair, I want to say that I would have bought the parquet anyway if the Haro parquet hadn’t been so cheap (Landhausdiele Plaza Eiche Sauvage Stark strukturiert).

Hello EA-Tec,

Thank you very much for your detailed feedback. In principle, we see it the same way as you do. With a German, Austrian, or Scandinavian manufacturer, you are sure of the quality you get.

Nevertheless, so far we have not found a plank from any of the well-known manufacturers that has convinced us as much as the Castellano plank. However, our offer is not really far from Haro planks or similar in terms of price.

Best regards

The topic of parquet flooring will come up for us later, but 56 euros per square meter would be within the budget.
