How can we help you?

Subflooring for parquet or laminate is quite thick and foamy. This is not suitable for Parquetvinyl. You need a sturdy subfloor that is not compressible. If the wrong subfloor is used, the click connection will come under too much pressure and may break over time, causing the planks to loosen. Here you will find more information about the installation of Parquetvinyl.

Classic skirting boards, such as surface-mounted skirting boards or paintable skirting boards, are usually glued to the wall with mounting kit or glue. It is important that you attach them only to the wall and not to the floor. Do not spray or seal the seam between the skirting board and the floor. You can also use adhesive skirting boards, which you simply attach to the floor with a handy self-adhesive strip.

You need just seven simple tools, namely a cutter, spirit level, pencil, expansion blocks, folding rule, rubber mallet and a striking block. Discover here how to install Parquetvinyl.

Yes, that is possible! Always follow the system’s installation instructions. A system with both room and floor sensors is most suitable. When setting the thermostat, both the ambient and surface temperatures must be taken into account. This is because of condensation. Here you will find more information about the installation of Parquetvinyl.

Not just the floor but also the skirting boards in your bathroom must be able to withstand a splash of water. That is why Parquetvinyl’s matching skirting boards are moisture-resistant. They are made of hydrophobic MDF with the green pigment omitted. That way, you can be sure that no green pigment shines through in light finishes. The back of the skirting board displays the text ‘Water-resistant MDF’ so that the installer knows that it involves MDF with a low swelling rate. In damp spaces, the skirting boards should be sealed at the top and bottom with elastic transparent silicone.

It is important to distinguish between uneven floors and sloping floors. For an uneven floor, there is a tolerance of 5 mm over 3 metres. If you lay a long slat on the floor, any open space you may see under the slat must not exceed 5 mm. For sloping floors, the slope must not exceed 25 mm over 2 metres. For example, if the room is 4 metres long (in the sloping direction), the slope must not exceed 50 mm. If the slope of the floor is too great, there will be too much pressure on the clicking system, which could cause it to break. Discover here how to install Parquetvinyl.

The type of skirting boards you choose depends entirely on your personal taste. Low skirting boards look more minimalist, while high skirting boards can make your space appear optically larger. Paintable skirting boards in the same colour as the wall are almost invisible, while matching skirting boards may have a warmer look. For a neatly finished end result, it is best to carefully think about which profiles and stair profiles you want. Because with the right accessories you can give an extra personal touch to your interior!

Fit the kitchen first and then install the floor around it. After all, Parquetvinyl requires a floating installation and should remain floating. Heavy units would fix the floor in place. Here you will find more information about the installation of Parquetvinyl.

That is not a good idea! The base layer should be fixed (glued or nailed), and this is probably not the case with laminate. You must first remove the laminate and any subfloor. Discover here how to install Parquetvinyl.

Yes! The subfloor should be stable, flat, and dust-free. If the OSB boards are secured, this is no problem at all. Here you will find more information about the installation of Parquetvinyl.

No! This type of subfloor is too soft, thick and airy. The subfloor for Parquetvinyl should be very thin, sturdy, and not compressible. Discover here how to install Parquetvinyl.

No, glued-down PVC must be installed by a professional. This is because the surface must be perfectly level, but also because the installation of the floor itself must comply with many different requirements. Would you prefer to do it yourself? Then choose our click-vinyl floors: thanks to the simple click system, any handyman or woman can install these floors. For the installation of your dryback, you can contact a Parquetvinyl dealer near you.

No! Parquetvinyl has a robust clicking system and should not be glued. Here you can download the installation instructions.

Freestanding fireplaces can be considered heavy, fixed furniture. Parquetvinyl should therefore not be placed under it, but around it. Because of the heat development, it is best to place the fireplace on a refractory material, such as a large ceramic tile, natural stone or a metal plate.

With open fireplaces, a grate or glass plate should be placed in front of the fireplace to prevent any glowing embers from landing on the floor.Parquet vinyl may score well on the 'burning cigarette test' but an ember is hotter and burns longer than a cigarette. Also here, better safe than sorry.

Parquetvinyl requires a floating installation and needs to be able to keep moving in the room. Of course, this is barely noticeable. Always leave a space of 8 mm all around the room. The skirting boards will cover this space. In some places, such as around a toilet, it is not possible to install skirting boards. It those cases, apply a line of elastic silicone. Here you will find more information about the installation of Parquetvinyl.

Before you decide which type of skirting board you want, it is best to first look at the finish of the walls. Are they nicely plastered down to the floor? If so, you can choose almost any type of skirting board. If not, a standard skirting board of 8 cm or a low skirting board of 6 cm is more suitable. If you have an existing skirting board or cables that you need to conceal, then add-on skirting boards are the best option.

The subfloor must be dry, clean, hard and smooth. It may have irregularities with a tolerance of 5 mm over a length of 3 m. The floor may not slope in any direction by more than 25 mm per 2 m. Even though Parquetvinyl is water-resistant, it does not serve as a moisture barrier. Any loose boards must be fixed, cracks in concrete must be filled. Read all the conditions in the installation instructions.

Although Parquetvinyl can be installed with underfloor heating, there are a few things to remember, of course. To begin with, you should always follow the instructions for the heating system. It is also important to ensure that the surface temperature never exceeds 28°C, and the temperature should be evenly distributed all around. Is it an electric or hot water system? This also plays an important role. Make sure you have all the information you need! Here you will find more information about the installation of Parquetvinyl.

In most cases, Parquetvinyl can be installed on the existing floor. The subfloor should be stable, flat, and clean. Any unevenness or deep joints must be levelled first. The subfloor should not be compressible, like carpet for example. If you install Parquetvinyl on a wooden floor, any loose planks must first be secured. Parquetvinyl should not be installed on top of a floating floor such as laminate: it requires a solid base. Discover here how to install Parquetvinyl.

All the instructions and a video about installing Parquetvinyl can be found here.

All collections already have an integrated underlay. This means that you don’t need a separate subfloor - in fact, you must not use one. The integrated underlay will neutralise or partly neutralise any unevenness. However, the main advantage is that a subfloor will reduce walking noise.

Certainly! In a newly built home, we recommend first installing the kitchen and then the floor. Here you will find more information about the installation of Parquetvinyl.

Certainly! Parquetvinyl is 100% waterproof and suitable for bathrooms. The children are free to go wild. Just make sure you rub the floor dry within 24 hours. Stagnant water could seep through the joints and cause problems (mould, problem odours, etc.). Here you will find more information about the installation of Parquetvinyl.

No. The carpet must be removed first. Then the subfloor must be made levelled and any glue residues, dust, etc. must be cleaned away. Here you will find more information about the installation of Parquetvinyl.

You should always leave expansion gaps of 8 mm between the floor and the wall. This is not necessary when connecting to another room. Parquetvinyl can be laid continuously for up to 400m² or 20 running metres. Read all the conditions in the installation instructions.

Glued-down PVC is perfect for underfloor heating. In fact, because a glued floor offers the most direct conductivity, it is the ideal floor for both underfloor heating and underfloor cooling. Do you still have questions about your specific situation? If so, contact one of our experts. They would be happy to advise you.

Making a vinyl floor without plasticisers is unfortunately not possible. But we promise you: it contains no phthalates or harmful plasticisers. As a result, the emission of volatile organic compounds is minimal - read more than a hundred times lower than the European threshold - hence, the air quality in the room is optimal.

Did you know that Parquetvinyl obtained the A+ label of air quality?
On top of this, it is REACH compliant.

Parquetvinyl really is a people-friendly and environmentally-friendly product.

Yes, it is! Rubber may contain substances that react with vinyl and cause irreversible colour changes. So be careful with the rubber wheels of trolleys, bicycles, etc. We also advise you to use doormats without rubber undersides.

Each installation method has its own special characteristics: thermal conductivity, walking sound, finishing... Your choice for click PVC or glued-down PVC therefore depends on what you think is most important. The subsurface also plays a role. Click PVC is less demanding than a glued installation because it can handle small irregularities. So it’s a great option for a renovation!

It is 100% water-resistant, easy to install, low maintenance and can be installed on large areas without profiles (up to 400m²). It does not require acclimatisation, is suitable for any room, has an excellent acoustic rating and has low VOC* emissions. (*VOC= the emission of volatile organic compounds that may affect the healthy indoor climate of homes)

The wear class refers to a general classification system for carpet, vinyl, laminate, and parquet flooring to describe the type of environment where the floor can be used. For example, class 32 is suitable for residential to light commercial use, class 33 for residential to intensive commercial use, and class 34 for residential to very intensive commercial use.

Parquetvinyl is barely 4-7,5 mm thick with an integrated underlay. This means that it is possible to install Parquetvinyl on an existing floor without having to modify the doors. Here you will find more information about the installation of Parquetvinyl.

The exceptionally realistic decors are based on some smart technology. Did you know that Parquetvinyl consists of up to 70% limestone, mixed with about 25% PVC? During production, the different layers are compressed into a strong, thin plank. No adhesive is used here. The surface texture is surprisingly real! Some collections have a synchronous wood structure. So if you see a knot or a wood grain in the decor, you can feel it too, at exactly the same place. The click system is experienced as one of the easiest in the market. It provides fast and easy installation and seams guaranteed to be watertight. Most floors have an integrated IXPE subfloor. This only has advantages: any small irregularities are neutralised, you can lay the floor far more quickly, the sound is muted and of course you don’t need to purchase an extra sub-floor.

Parquetvinyl and laminate have a very different composition. Parquetvinyl consists of up to 70% limestone, approximately 25% PVC and less than 1% additives and pigments. Laminate, on the other hand, has a body of pressed wood fibers. A small summary of the advantages that Parquetvinyl has versus ordinary laminate flooring: 100% waterproof, can be installed in large surfaces without profiles (up to 400 m²), does not require acclimatisation, suitable for every room, good acoustic performance, low VOC emissions.

Although Parquetvinyl looks like real parquet, it does not contain wood. It has a unique composition and contains up to 70% limestone. This makes it extremely robust, water-resistant, and suitable for any room. Although parquet is an entirely natural product, which gives it its exceptional character, some of its limitations are that it is not water-resistant, requires a lot of maintenance, and is more expensive.

Unlike regular vinyl, Parquetvinyl is hardly affected by heat and direct sunlight. It is much more stable. Moreover, Parquetvinyl does not contain plasticisers, so that the air quality in the room is not affected.

For Parquetvinyl, we recommend office chair castors that are suitable for hard floors. It is essential to clean the castors regularly. Small pieces of grit may get caught in the castors and cause scratches. As this is a frequent problem, we recommend an office chair mat.

Parquetvinyl may be cleaned with a domestic steam cleaner. Use it at its lowest power and with a suitable soft pad. Do not use the steam cleaner on the same part of the floor for more than 5 minutes and always follow the instructions of the steam cleaner’s manufacturer. Here you will find more information about the maintenance of Parquetvinyl.

Yes, most definitely! A dryback or glued-down PVC floor is extremely easy to maintain thanks to the maintenance-friendly character of a vinyl floor. The floors are completely water and wear-resistant, which makes them ideal for the bedroom and living room as well as the entrance hall and kitchen. Plus the fact that they look great and keep your feet nice and warm!
