The Heritage of Hardwood in Our Homes
Hardwood has always been the preferred choice for covering the floors of our homes. This tradition, marked by the evolution from wide planks to narrower and shorter formats, showcases a constantly evolving craftsmanship. Artisans, with their skill and creativity, have breathed life and character into floors by arranging the wood in various orientations. It is here that the term "parquet" was born, symbolizing a floor covering rich in texture, adorned with natural wood, and enhanced through meticulous sanding and varnishing processes. Initially a luxury reserved for the elite, it is now accessible to all, thanks to the advent of industrial methods.
Hardwood, An Ecological and Aesthetic Choice
Favored for its authenticity and richness, hardwood flooring stands out for its ecological aspect. It represents a sustainable and healthy choice for any living space, offering an unparalleled natural charm. Its popularity in Quebec continues to grow, often being the material of choice for many families, despite the variety of flooring options available.
The Importance of Selection and Maintenance of Hardwood
Choosing a parquet floor requires in-depth knowledge of its properties, especially in response to temperature and humidity changes. Professional installation prevents potential deformations and cracks. At Plancher Deluxe, we emphasize the importance of entrusting your project to experts to ensure the longevity and beauty of your flooring.
Renovation and Restoration: Breathing New Life into Your Parquet
Hardwood is distinguished by its ability to be restored. An old parquet floor does not necessarily require complete replacement. Through sanding, we can erase wear and restore the wood to its original luster, thereby extending its life and reducing costs.
When Replacement Becomes Necessary
In some cases, parquet damaged by moisture must be replaced. We offer modern solutions, including wood treated with durable varnishes, for enhanced protection and renewed aesthetics.
The Diversity and Beauty of Quebec's Hardwood
In Quebec, species like oak, maple, and cherry dominate. Each type has unique characteristics: oak is known for its robustness and its ability to beautify over time; cherry offers great workability and moisture resistance; maple charms with its delicate pattern; and ash stands out with its uniform hue and flexibility. The choice of wood not only affects the aesthetics but also the performance of the flooring over the long term.
