We have planned a multipurpose room on the ground floor for sports, guests, and a desk.
We have never dealt with parquet before, except now (also here in the forum), otherwise no personal experience.
Now we have had a sample sent of an oiled open-pore two-layer bamboo parquet.
We like the texture, the tone could be a bit darker, but who knows, maybe such a medium tone (honey-colored) works better on about 14 sqm.
Now to my questions:
1) Open-pore oiled: how does it behave with moisture (not wet), for example when doing sports… barefoot?
2) Color: can the tone be darkened by oil? That is, is there hard oil with color pigments? Or does the wood darken over time?
3) Cleaning: damp wiping?
4) Chair casters: how does open-pore parquet behave? Is it prone to scratches?
The underside of the carrier layer (5mm) has grooves, approximately every 3 cm about 2 mm deep… the parquet should be ideal for underfloor heating (gluing).
5) What about the grooves? Don’t they create air pockets when gluing, which are bad for heat transfer? (We want to glue/lay it in EL).
We have now seen parquet at the specialist dealer that already includes such insulation. Is that also needed when gluing? Do you then glue this insulation layer?
P.S. The material is 10 mm thick, 5 mm the top layer, 5 mm the carrier layer, which also consists of bamboo, just glued crosswise it seems.
Thanks in advance for your answers
