I refer to the statement paraphrased by the OP from the renowned parquet installer: In the pictures, I am sure that proper joint filler was used. The joints are a bit large, to my knowledge, with fully glued parquet the joint may be somewhat smaller. And yes, more effort could have been put into the choice of the joint filler color.
Sure, acrylic, silicone, joint filler – as a layperson one cannot always distinguish the technical terms and might possibly use the wrong term. The important thing is that it is simply poorly executed. All expansion joints are too large, crooked, and unnecessary. As I said, there are enough craftsmen who do it aesthetically well and are not stuck in 1980. And yes, thank God, there are many modern young craftsmen who constantly educate themselves. Let’s see how the follow-up appointment goes. What is certain is, if he can’t do it, someone else will.
