Better porcelain stoneware or parquet?
Is it better to use parquet or wood-effect porcelain stoneware for the living room floor? This is certainly one of the most frequently asked questions when we are faced with new renovation projects. There is probably no one solution that is better than the other, but there are certainly some fundamental factors to take into account when renovating the living room at home.
Let discover them together!
Parquet has always been a synonym for elegance and refinement. Its aesthetic properties are able to evoke pleasant sensations linked to the harmony of nature's colours and well-being. The proposals of the Caesar wood-effect collections COCOON, ARTHIS, HIKE, FABULA and LIFE with their delicate nuances are able to enhance the beauty of the furnishings that complete the living room, giving the whole room a very welcoming mood. Each colour tone of the collections respects the peculiarities of the material of origin, evoking knots, grains and nuances.
For more original and elegant living rooms we recommend the combination of dark wood-effect porcelain stoneware flooring with white walls and furnishings. For a more modern living room, on the other hand, it is preferable to combine wood-effect porcelain stoneware in a light shade with steel elements.
Another great advantage of wood-effect porcelain stoneware is that it can be placed anywhere, guaranteeing an attractive continuity of décor and surface between the living room and the other rooms in the home, even those commonly less suitable for parquet flooring because they are more subject to wear, damp and treading, such as the bathroom and kitchen.
Porcelain stoneware is resistant and long-lasting, it does not undergo chromatic changes with the passage of time, it is easy to clean and does not require constant maintenance with special treatments.
Thanks to the technological operations of mechanical pressing and firing at very high levels, it is possible to obtain absorption values tending towards 0, making it extremely resistant to the most varied types of stress (wear, scratches, stains, etc.).
Choosing porcelain stoneware also ensures very high standards of hygiene for the living room, as well as for other rooms in the home (it hinders the proliferation of germs and bacteria, is naturally hypoallergenic and does not release substances harmful to health (VOC Free).
As already mentioned, there is no one solution that is absolutely better than the other. Parquet certainly represents a fascinating, seductive choice. The considerations made so far are intended to guide you to discover a world - that of wood-effect porcelain stoneware - full of very advantageous solutions from both an aesthetic and a technical point of view.
