Which floor to choose: parquet, laminate, vinyl or porcelain

· 4 min read

The floor sets the character of the whole home. Here’s the quick comparison to get it right in your renovation.

Parquet and engineered wood

Warm and elegant, it adds value. It needs a little more care and isn’t ideal for very wet areas. It can be sanded and varnished to renew it.

Laminate

The best value for money. It imitates wood, resists scratching (look for AC4/AC5) and is easy to install. Not the best for bathrooms.

SPC vinyl

Water-resistant, warm underfoot and quiet. Perfect for kitchens, bathrooms and the whole home. It can even be installed over the existing floor.

Porcelain

The most durable and resistant, ideal for wet and high-traffic areas. Cold underfoot (unless with underfloor heating) and requires works to install.

Which should I choose?

  • All-round use and water: SPC vinyl or porcelain.
  • Warmth and design: parquet.
  • Tight budget: good-quality laminate.
