1. Why parquet in floor selection?
Floors are the most used and most worn surfaces of a space. For this reason, durability, comfort and ease of maintenance play a decisive role in the choice as well as aesthetic appearance. Parquet and modern floor systems stand out with their natural textures, warm appearance and long-lasting usage advantages. Choosing the right parquet can radically change the atmosphere of a space. As Güney Forest Products, we offer both design and performance orientated products at the same time.
2. Types of parquet: solid, laminated and laminate
In the world of parquet, three main categories stand out: solid parquet, parquet and laminate flooring. Solid parquet is made entirely from natural wood and can be sanded and renewed for many years. Parquet is a combination of natural wood veneer and a technical layer; it is highly stable and easy to install. Laminate floors are economical and durable options suitable for heavy pedestrian traffic. Which type to choose should be determined by the intended use of the space and budget.
3. Technical durability and use classes
Parquet and floor systems AC classification (Abrasion Class) is the durability criterion. For example, while AC3 class parquet is suitable for home use, AC4 and AC5 class parquets are preferred in busy commercial areas. In addition, water-resistant laminate options (such as Aqua and Hydro series) make it possible to use in areas such as kitchens and bathrooms. Knowing these classifications guarantees long-term performance in floor selection.
4. The naturalness and aesthetic effect of wood
Wooden floors add warmth and naturalness to the space. Thanks to natural textures, grain structure and colour tones, no parquet is exactly the same as another. This originality creates richness in interior designs. Especially large panel sizes and brushed surfaces give a sense of depth in spaces. The wide range of colour and surface options offered by Güney Forest Products offers solutions suitable for every decoration style.
5. Floor mounting methods: click, gluing and solid application
Different methods are used in the installation of parquet. The most common method for laminate and laminated parquet is the click system; it provides easy installation, fast application and the opportunity to be dismantled and reinstalled when necessary. Solid parquet, on the other hand, requires professional workmanship and is applied by gluing to the floor. The correct installation method extends the life of the floor and provides long-term stability. In addition, attention should be paid to dilatation gaps during installation.
6. Acoustic and thermal comfort on floors
Floor systems contribute not only to aesthetics but also to acoustic and thermal insulation. Sound insulation mats placed underneath reduce footsteps and echoes. Thermal insulation is especially important in parquet choices that will work together with underfloor heating systems. Laminated and laminate floorings can be produced to be compatible with underfloor heating systems. In this way, both comfort and energy efficiency are provided.
7. Tips for parquet care and long-lasting use
Proper maintenance is essential to prolong parquet life. Excessive water and chemical cleaning agents should not be used, cleaning should be done with microfibre cloths. Solid parquet can be renewed with sanding and polishing at certain intervals. For laminate and laminated parquet, it is recommended to use protective pads under the furniture against scratches. The high quality parquet options offered by Güney Forest Products can be used for many years without any problems with proper care.
8. Trends in colour and pattern selection
In 2025, parquet colour trends emphasise naturalness. Light oak tones, soft grey surfaces and aged looks are preferred in modern interiors. Dark walnut and hazelnut tones add prestige to the space in classic and luxury decorations. Large sized panels make the space look more spacious and modern, while herringbone pattern applications offer a nostalgic yet timeless elegance.
