What is parquet?

 Parquet is a floor covering made from natural wood or wood-based materials, laid in various shapes on a base. It provides beauty, thermal and acoustic comfort, and is ideal for renovating living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, offices, shops, and commercial spaces.

Multi-layer floating parquet

This is the most common type today. It consists of several layers of wood glued together, with the top layer being hardwood.

• It is installed without nails or glue, on an insulating base.
• Easy and quick to install.
• Excellent value for money.
• Recommended for homes and commercial spaces.

Made up of solid wood slats, which are glued directly to the floor.



• Longer lasting (can be stabbed multiple times).
• Requires professional installation and drying time.
• It provides great aesthetic and traditional value.
• Ideal for demanding renovations or classic floors.

Made with small slats of solid wood arranged in blocks.

• Very resistant to wear and heavy traffic.
• More “technical” or robust appearance.
• Ideal for offices, shops, public spaces or homes with pets.

 The passage of time, daily use, and scratches can cause your natural parquet flooring to lose its shine and original appearance. At Cadena els Tigres, we offer a specialized parquet polishing and varnishing service, perfect for restoring your floor's elegance, warmth, and durability.

What does the service consist of?

• Professional polishing: We remove scratches, stains, and surface marks, leaving the wood completely smooth and renewed.
• High-strength varnish: We apply top-quality varnishes (water-based or polyurethane, as needed) to protect the wood, enhance its color, and make it easier to clean.
• Custom finishes: Gloss, satin, or matte, depending on your preferred style.
• No dust or strong odors: We use modern machinery with integrated suction and low-toxicity products.

 Solid wood flooring offers several advantages, its main strength being its durability and restorability. As a solid piece of wood, it can be sanded and varnished several times throughout its lifespan, making it highly resistant to change and wear. It also provides a natural, warm appearance to the room, improving thermal and acoustic insulation.

Key advantages of solid wood flooring:

• Durability and resistance: Solid wood is a strong and durable material, capable of withstanding daily traffic and the passage of time, as EuroparquetSur highlights.
• Restoration options: If solid wood flooring is damaged, it can be sanded and varnished, restoring its original appearance and prolonging its useful life, according to Madera.
• Thermal and acoustic insulation: Solid wood helps maintain a more constant temperature in the room and reduce noise, improving home comfort, he says.
• Natural and warm look: Solid wood adds a touch of elegance and naturalness to any space, with its texture and warm colors.
• Sustainability: Wood is a renewable and sustainable material, making it an environmentally friendly choice for flooring.
