Parquet-effect PVC carpet flooring combines the elegant look of wood with the practical benefits of PVC. Here are some key points to consider:
Advantages of parquet effect PVC carpet flooring
Aesthetic appearance: Realistic imitation of parquet with patterns and textures that faithfully reproduce natural wood.
Easy care: As with all PVC coverings, regular cleaning with a damp broom or mop is all that's required. It is resistant to stains and damp.
Durability: PVC is highly resistant to wear and scratches, making it ideal for high-traffic areas.
Comfort: PVC flooring is softer and warmer underfoot than wood or tiles.
Simplified installation: Many models are available in tiles or strips with self-adhesive or clip-on installation systems, making installation easy.
Affordable: Parquet-effect PVC is often less expensive than real parquet, while offering a similar appearance.
Installation
Floor preparation: Make sure the floor is clean, dry and smooth. Any unevenness may be reflected through the PVC.
Laying the planks or tiles: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation. For self-adhesive models, remove the protective film and apply the boards directly to the floor. For clip-on models, align and snap the boards together.
Cutting: Use a cutter or cutting tool to fit the planks to the dimensions of your room, especially around corners and obstacles.
Finishing: Once all the planks or tiles are in place, install the skirting boards for a neat, clean finish.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning: Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dust and debris.
Stain removal: Use a damp cloth with a mild detergent to remove stains.
Avoid abrasive products: Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface.
