USEFUL INFORMATION

​We offer advice before you choose a flooring option

Flooring selection often seems simple at first glance. Choosing a colour or pattern is not enough – it is important to understand how a specific floor covering will perform in everyday use, how much maintenance it will require, what kind of subfloor it needs, and whether its thickness will work with other planned interior finishing solutions. Although we are not flooring sellers, our practical experience with engineered wood flooring, solid parquet, laminate, and PVC flooring allows us to share insights that help avoid the wrong choice before the materials are purchased.

​

It is best to decide on the floor covering at the beginning of the interior finishing stage, as some choices can affect the entire work schedule. The production of engineered wood flooring or solid parquet often takes around 6–10 weeks, so making the decision too late can delay other works. PVC flooring usually requires a very level subfloor and a self-leveling layer, so the final floor height must be planned in advance, especially in areas where PVC flooring will meet tiles or another floor covering.

​

Flooring selection becomes even more important when the interior includes concealed doors, recessed skirting boards, or shadow gap details. In these cases, the appearance of the flooring is not the only factor – its thickness and installation method also matter. For example, not all click-system floor coverings are suitable for such solutions, so it is worth checking in advance whether the chosen flooring will allow the planned interior detail to be finished properly.

​

During consultation, we can help assess not only the flooring itself, but also the technical decisions related to it – the quality of the subfloor, concrete moisture, suitable adhesives based on the thickness, width, and length of the engineered board, as well as the possible surface finish with oil or lacquer. Since we work with products from different flooring manufacturers in Lithuania, we can explain how they differ in real use and advise what is worth choosing depending on the laying method: straight plank, herringbone, or chevron pattern.
