How to choose quality parquet: try to smell it
Choosing a floor covering is difficult to classify as a simple task. An apartment owner who is planning a renovation needs to consider many factors, including a pleasant appearance, durability, hypoallergenicity, etc.
Parquet has all the above qualities, and is also pleasant to the touch and an environmentally friendly material.
Expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, has compiled general recommendations in case you decide to purchase parquet.
Oddly enough, the quality of parquet can be determined, among other things, by its smell – it should only emit a pleasant aroma of wood.
In addition, when purchasing, it is worth evaluating the top layer of the parquet - the thicker it is, the longer the flooring will last.
The boards should not have any cracks, chips, voids, glue residue or other defects.
The presence of such deformations indicates that you have low-quality parquet in front of you.
Finally, before making your final choice, ask the seller for quality certificates for the parquet to make sure that it does not contain harmful substances, such as resins or formaldehyde.
