Square parquet is a technique used for making wooden floors that first appeared in France around the first half of the 1600s. It consists of assembling small geometric shapes of wood, glued onto a substrate, which are joined together to form a panel, with uniform dimensions.
Wooden squares can be made of different wood essences, from the most valuable to the cheapest. The choice of wood essence depends on the aesthetic and functional requirements of the room where they are to be installed.
LAYING SYSTEM
The main advantage of wood-panel laying is the possibility of creating customized surfaces, both in terms of design and size. Disadvantages, on the other hand, include the greater complexity of installation compared to other flooring systems, which requires an experienced professional. In addition, square-laying requires more attention when cutting and processing the wood in order to obtain perfectly homogeneous pieces.
TREATMENTS AND MAINTENANCE
In terms of treatments, wooden squares can be treated with varnishes, oils or stains, depending on aesthetic and durability requirements. It is important to protect wood from weathering and mechanical stress.
Regarding care and maintenance, wood should be cleaned regularly with specific detergents and treated periodically to preserve its beauty and durability. In case of damage or wear, individual tiles can be replaced without having to work on the entire surface.
In summary, the wooden square laying system is an aesthetically versatile and customizable solution, but one that requires skill and attention during installation and maintenance to ensure its longevity and beauty over time.
