Parkett Pflege

Do you have real parquet flooring at home? Congratulations ! You have a sense of timeless elegance and sustainable home decor, and you're one of those people who know what true quality means.

We will show you here and now how to care for your parquet:

Before you start!!!

The type of surface treatment largely determines the care concept for your parquet floor, as there are differences between varnished, oiled and waxed parquet.

  • Lacquered parquet

    • Provides a sealed, durable surface
    • Protects the wood from moisture and dirt
    • Requires special care products for sealed floors
    • Easier cleaning as dirt cannot penetrate the wood pores

    Buy paint

  • Oiled parquet

    • More natural appearance with open-pored character
    • The oil penetrates the wood and protects from the inside
    • Must be re-oiled regularly (every 6-12 months depending on use)
    • Oiled surfaces can be partially repaired

    Buy oil

  • Waxed parquet

    • Hard wax oil combines the advantages of oil and varnish
    • Offers greater protection than pure oil with a natural appearance
    • The wax provides additional protection
    • Requires care products for hard wax oiled surfaces

    Buy hard wax oil

  • Clear signs of wear and deep scratches
  • Dull, matte surface despite regular care
  • Grey discoloration or water stains that cannot be removed

Professional processing
