Wood & water – an unexpectedly good combination
"But wood and water don’t mix!" – a persistent myth. In reality, some wood species are naturally resistant to moisture – like oak or walnut. With a special surface treatment, our parquet remains water-repellent without losing its natural beauty.
In short: If a glass of water spills or the kids turn the bathroom into a mini swimming pool – no big deal! Just wipe it up and move on.
Why parquet makes sense in the kitchen and bathroom
- It feels better: No more cold feet! Wood retains warmth and feels pleasant – a real bonus for barefoot lovers.
- It looks fantastic: Parquet adds a warm, elegant atmosphere. In open-plan kitchens, a seamless floor creates a harmonious overall look.
- It’s more durable than you think: With proper care, parquet remains beautiful for a long time. Regular re-oiling keeps it water-resistant and resilient to daily challenges.
The right care makes all the difference
Of course, parquet requires some attention – but so does any surface you use daily. Here are a few simple rules to keep your floor looking great:
➔ Don’t let water sit too long – wipe up small puddles
➔ Use mild cleaners suitable for oiled wood.
➔ Regular re-oiling helps maintain the protective layer
