►  Solid board is one of the most precious floor covering to date. Massive parquet has perfect wear-resistance, high durability and environmental excellence.

Skillful combining of modern technologies let us maintain natural beauty of the wood and its durability. All the semi-finished products are dried in the kilns with carefully controlled temperature and humidity levels. Accordingly, the wood experiences  reduce in tension and thus it`s kept from cracking

  Engineered board consists of two layers, namely, fine wood species and plywood. Engineered board looks magnificent in modern interior designs and can totally compete with solid wood planks in appearance.

The beauty and nobility of fine wood species is perfectly combined with usability—engineered parquet planks do not require such pretentious operation or microclimate preservation as the traditional solid wood parquet.

Thanks to its unique structure (the upper layer is manufactured from fine wood species, and the lower—using several types of water-resistant high-quality plywood), engineered parquet floorings are insusceptible to temperature and humidity changes.

Engineered parquet can be used both in apartments and private houses, or public places with high traffic flow..
