What is better laminate flooring or parquet

Dear forum users, I vote for the parquet board. I have a laminate floor in my apartment, in a larch cottage, I want to say that they were bought and made at the same time 5 years ago. Laminate bought an expensive one from Leroy Merlin, and boards from Rousserles. in the pictures you can see that the laminate for these 5 years is to be repaired or replaced, and the boards as they were.

Environmentally friendly material, durability. beautiful texture.

Not.

I definitely vote for the parquet board. Many arguments can be given, but a living tree cannot be compared with anything. With a piece of parquet, there are a lot of looms then, when you use it, it may suddenly swell for some reason or become loose. The only negative is the price. We chose Barlinek, and the price is low and the quality is excellent. Of course, it turned out a little more expensive than the laminate, but the view is excellent

For a parquet board inexpensively, but qualitatively.

Not revealed yet.

All childhood and youth lived in an apartment with linoleum. There wasn’t much money for repairs. But the hour has come. We looked at the store for prices, compared and decided to take the flooring. To do so for a long time, and so that the material is good, eco-friendly and outwardly beautiful. I didn’t have to choose especially, among the inexpensive but high-quality parquet in the store they offered barlinek. We chose a light board. The master laid two rooms for two days off. The beauty! Paul looks gorgeous, the feeling that even the room has become larger, but it just seems so. The surface is flat, nothing bristles anywhere. If the dust is collected, it is not particularly visible, thanks to the color successfully chosen)) In general, we are very satisfied!

flat, beautiful board, the feeling of expanding space, dust is not visible on the bright floor

until they found a single minus

Laminate flooring, if you take it, is only of high class. But it is expensive, and the material itself is not to everyone's taste.All the same, a parquet board is preferable to a living room. I used to think that it was expensive, but now it turns out you can find it at a very reasonable price, not more expensive than a laminate. Barlinek chose himself, has been lying for more than 5 years - and looks good.

High-quality, while inexpensive.

no special.

We ordered a barlinek parquet board from the pure vintage collection (it seems to be called that). Very impressed with the appearance of the surface. We can say that this was the main point that influenced my choice with my wife. Well, the price of this manufacturer is not very high, so we were able to take the material immediately for the entire apartment (laid in the hall and corridor). By the way, during the laying, a hammer popped out of his hands and flew over the surface ... and there was nothing left on the parquet board! Parquet is now a little over a year old, looks great.

reasonable price in comparison with other manufacturers, beautiful design, installation is not difficult.

until he discovered serious disadvantages.

I clearly decided for myself that I won’t put the laminate on the floor even for free! It is soaking, it requires a very careful attitude in this regard. Also, dust is additionally formed. A friend's laminate was swollen for six months, spots from the slightest ingress of water remained, and the joints became visible (at the same time there was no deshov, he took more than 800 rubles per sq. M). Yes, and in the context of looking at it sickeningly - continuous printing products varnished. There is at least some percentage of natural wood in the floorboard. We even have it in the kitchen - for 4 years it has not been swollen from moisture and has not lost its appearance. Dents, contrary to the beliefs of skeptics, are almost gone. Only if something sharp is dropped from a very high height.

In general, if you have the means, it is best to use an array or piece parquet - environmentally friendly and very durable (you can then sanded, put in order and use for a very long time). My parents have a piece of parquet since my childhood (now I’m 30) and there is no completely desire to change it.

dust, static electricity, swells up from water, stains from it remain, not environmentally friendly

About six years ago, beds in all rooms of his apartment, except for the kitchen, laminate 32nd class. At that time, the 33rd grade laminate was hard to get. The laid laminate is used by me and family members without any complaints, but there are still some disadvantages. They didn’t put the carpets on the floor, so over time chips began to appear, which, with care, sometimes scratched their legs. Since the floor was often washed, in some places the laminate was swollen. In the children's room, near the computer desk, is a chair on wheels. Since the child often spun on the table, the track from the wheels “rolled out” on the floor. I had to change the worn-out laminate boards.

But my friends laid the floorboard. I liked their flooring, but I managed to notice a drawback. On the kitchen floor, part of the coating turned out to be matte. This floor color was on the route table-stove-sink.Therefore, even though the floorboard is more expensive, I believe that preference should be given to it.

parquet has a chic look.

parquet loses color saturation in places where you have to walk every day.

With a military husband, we constantly change our regions of residence. We saw various repairs, so we are boldly writing an excellent review on the laminate, which always pleased us in the garrison apartments of the country. We easily found this material in stores even in remote areas, we always purchased and packed it without any special cash, labor, time costs.

They just wiped the floor, no hassle. Children hooligans, adults were pulling furniture, the laminate underwent everything without damage. Lived in damp rooms. We were gloomy, the coating remained perfect. In hot areas, too, they did not notice the effect of heat on the material. Of course, laminates are cool and dusty quickly, but we have rugs and hands that can hold a rag. And such coverings are booming, but our family has fun with them.
