Bonded parquet installation
A bonded parquet floor is more than just a floor. It is an artisan masterpiece that has proven its value for generations.
The name comes from the French word for carpet, an apt description for how we lay the thin wooden strips like a finely woven carpet on your floor.
This traditional method of parquet laying has a rich history dating back to the era of stately mansions and palaces, where this technique was first applied.
A floor with character
Laying bonded parquet truly involves real craftsmanship. We begin by applying a sturdy sublayer of oak mosaic or chipboard.
On top, we carefully lay the solid strips of 6 to 9 millimetres thick against each other.
By bonding and nailing these strips, an exceptionally stable floor is created that produces barely any noise.
What makes bonded parquet unique is that the strips are laid cold against each other, without tongue and groove connections. This demands the utmost precision during installation, but at the same time offers unparalleled freedom in creating patterns.
The finishing touch is crucial: we fill small nail holes with a mixture of the wood's own sanding dust and a binding agent. After careful sanding and polishing, we finish the floor with oil, lacquer or hardwax, exactly as you wish.
The result? A floor that lasts up to a hundred years.
Modern comfort meets tradition
Many people ask us whether bonded parquet is compatible with underfloor heating. The answer is a resounding yes. Due to its minimal thickness and direct bonding, this floor is perfectly suited for underfloor heating.
No air layer is created, allowing heat to be transferred optimally. However, the choice of wood species is important.
Some species such as oak and afzelia perform excellently, while others like maple or jatoba are less suitable due to their hardness.
With underfloor heating, air humidity plays an important role. During the heating season, the wood may shrink, but with the right humidifier this is easy to regulate. We are happy to advise you on the ideal setup for your situation.
Bonded parquet also works beautifully in apartments. In new builds, we lay the floor directly on the floating screed. In older properties, we create a special construction that minimises sound transmission.
This way, you enjoy your beautiful parquet without disturbing your neighbours. We also work extensively with fermacell and screed floor constructions, with or without underfloor heating.

Endless possibilities of bonded parquet
The beauty of bonded parquet is the freedom in design. You can choose from more than forty different wood species. From warm oak to exotic afzelia, each with their own character and appearance.
You decide the laying pattern yourself: a classic herringbone with border and band, an elegant Hungarian point, a sleek Viennese point, or perhaps your own custom design?
The possibilities are endless.
A special advantage of bonded parquet is that it can be sanded more often than other parquet types. This is because there is no tongue and groove connection that could weaken.
After sanding, your floor looks as good as new, ready for another generation.
