The lifespan of a wooden floor depends on the quality of the wood, installation and maintenance, but it can last for tens to hundreds of years, making it an investment for life.
A wood floor can be environmentally friendly depending on several factors. Sustainably managed forests, FSC- or PEFC-certified wood and local sources contribute to environmental friendliness. The ability of wood to store carbon over the lifetime of the floor also contributes to environmental friendliness.
Wood floors can be laid in various patterns such as herringbone, Hungarian point, strips or blocks, providing a wide range of aesthetic options.
A wood floor offers warmth, character and natural appeal that concrete or cast floors do not. It also adds value to the home and is more comfortable to walk on.
Compared to laminate, a real wood floor is more durable, has a more authentic look and can be sanded and re-finished if necessary, extending its lifespan.
Compared to tiles, wood flooring offers more warmth, comfort and aesthetic versatility. It is also less cold to walk on and absorbs sound better.
Wooden floors are more natural, durable and warm than PVC floors. They add value to a home and can be sanded and re-finished for longer life.
Oak is an excellent choice for parquet because of its durability, stability and aesthetic versatility. It is also readily available and can handle a variety of finishes.
A soaped wood floor preserves the natural look of the wood, protects it from dirt and stains and provides a matt, non-slip finish that is easy to maintain.
Staining a wooden floor allows you to customise its colour and appearance, while preserving the wood's natural texture while protecting it from wear and discolouration.
A lacquered floor has a shiny, hard finish that is easy to clean, while an oiled floor has a more natural look and is easier to touch up local damage.
Oiling a wood floor penetrates deep into the wood, protects it from moisture and dirt, and preserves the natural look of the wood. It is also easy to touch up if needed.
A wood floor requires regular vacuuming and sweeping to remove dirt and dust, and periodic maintenance such as reapplying finishes and touching up damage.
Clean a wooden floor with a soft broom, hoover with parquet brush or damp cloth with a mild detergent. Use as little water as possible to avoid damage.

Yes, a wooden floor can be laid without skirting boards for a modern, seamless look. However, this requires careful installation and finishing of the edges.
A wooden floor can be insulated by placing insulation material under the floor or by installing underfloor heating for thermal insulation. See CozyOak for wooden floors on underfloor heating.
To lighten a wooden floor, you can choose lighter coloured wood or bleach the wood, but this can affect the natural look of the wood.
