Selection of flooring
Why choose a hardwood flooring?
A man, same as wood, feels best in an adequate microclimate. Wood can create a perfect symbiosis with a man as it breathes, adapts, absorbs and gives back the moisture, so it can effectively regulate the microclimate of your interior. Natural elements of interior design have a very positive impact on people’s health and general well-being.
The unique wood grain of individual boards or blocks will make your floor one of a kind. You can also have a bespoke flooring which gives you the chance to design something that would meet your individual taste.
Apart from that, wood is very durable and resistant to mechanical and chemical damages. Properly maintained hardwood flooring will decorate your interior for years.

Which flooring is right for me, a solid or engineered wood one?
It has to be emphasized that both the solid and engineered wood floorboards are made of 100% natural material. Solid wood is affected more by the surrounding environment and everyday usage, simply because all solid natural materials are. Some see it as something bad, other as something good. To us it is what the wood flooring is all about – its natural character.
Here is the table comparing those two types of floorings.
