Frequently asked questions

Substrate and technique

Can parquet be installed over existing tiles?

Yes, provided the substrate is flat, dry and stable. If not, we level or remove the tiles as needed.

Will the floor level rise?

It usually rises by 8–20 mm depending on the system. We adjust doors and transitions to keep everything flush.

Noise and comfort

Does it reduce noise for neighbours?

With certified acoustic underlay and a floating system we reduce both airborne and impact transmission.

Is it compatible with underfloor heating?

Yes, using parquet and adhesives/bases rated for radiant heating. We verify this during the visit.

Timelines and maintenance

How long does the replacement take?

It depends on the area, substrate condition and laying pattern. We plan in phases and protect walkways.

What maintenance does it require?

Dry cleaning and moderate mopping. Oak can be sanded and re-varnished; laminate is replaced piece by piece.
