Because a healthy climate starts with you at home.
Rely on the power of nature.
We spend the majority of our everyday life and living indoors, so there is an even greater need for environmentally friendly, natural and sustainable products that ensure your personal well-being and create optimal indoor climatic conditions. Choosing the right flooring is therefore an important factor in avoiding pollutants in one's home. A sustainable floor covering such as parquet is a fantastic solution: the natural raw material wood not only has the ability to compensate for differences in humidity and
and to absorb harmful substances in the air in order to improve the air quality in the room. The durable surfaces of real wood floors can easily be renovated after years of use or heavy use and then look like new again. Since the earliest days, our human body has been strongly responsive to the organic material wood. Being a sensitive measuring device, it discerns wood not just visually but also through touch or sense of smell. As it is a familiar material, our body knows that wood is not harmful and instinctively reacts by switching over to relaxation and rest.

Is my floor really made of real wood?
Beware of disparaging terms!
When describing floor coverings, consumers are often misled with deceptive statements and denunciations. For example, „vinyl parquet“ or „LVT prefinished parquet“ is in no way a product made of real wood, but imitations or floor coverings with a petroleum-based, thermoplastic and plasticized vinyl wear layer.
„Laminate parquet“ is a melamine resin-coated plastic wear layer. Products, that can not meet the requirements of a healthy indoor climate in no way. At wood imitating products, the desired wood look is only imprinted on each plank - whereby not only the individuality and the advantages of the natural product wood get lost, but also the surfaces are untreatable and irreparable and so the floor must be completely replaced in case of damage.
Moreover, the plastic flood on our planet should be urgently curbed - so why smother even the largest areas of our home over and over again instead of avoiding unnecessary plastic products?
