Who has experience with parquet flooring in the kitchen?

I would trust sealed parquet more than oiled. Seals are also available in matte, difference to oiled hardly visible in my opinion

But you cannot repair sealed flooring.

But you can't repair sealed items.

And it feels terrible, then you might as well do without and choose a cheap fake like vinyl.

No, rather not, the few advantages are that the flaws are not immediately visible or that it is more or less waterproof. Otherwise, there is nothing that makes vinyl appear more attractive compared to parquet.

We have Jura tiles in the kitchen, otherwise everything is floorboards. With the real Jura marble, I had problems again due to the risk of grease stains. The "imitation tiles" are non-slip and were also used in the entrance area. At first I was skeptical - but by now I am enthusiastic. The parquet layer then separated his parquet using a rail that is almost invisible. But beforehand we really tinkered with the separation joint. The house is finished, but my children, who are moving into the house, still live with me for convenience. Kitchen, living area is all open. I’ll take some photos and post them here so you can see how it’s solved. The trick is, our wood guy absolutely wanted to lay wooden floors in the kitchen - and didn’t even notice that it’s not real marble. I have many acquaintances who have been persuaded to have wooden floors in the kitchen. The end of the story: now there are carpets because everything is messed up, or carpets are laid in the kitchen as a precaution. Sorry, that can’t be it.

That only shows that one cannot handle it and that the wood could not withstand the demands of a kitchen, which differ from those of a living room. Carpet in the kitchen would wear out even faster than parquet, this step is beyond me.

We have had real wood flooring in our current kitchen for 9 years now. I cook a lot and extensively. It works wonderfully. The floor looks just like the rest of the apartment.

Edit: it is Wenge, oiled and brushed.
