QUALITY BEFORE ALL
Lamar parquet floors are divided into grades according to do the visual characteristics of the top layer, and not according to the quality of the product. Technical production of the parquet board is of the same quality no matter which class they fall into according to their technical-visual characteristics. By selecting parquet grade in particular type of wood, a buyer decides on the overall look of the parquet surface, between uniformity of the whole surface by colour and wood structure, and visual representation of the natural characteristics such as rings, knots and colour variations, making the surface livelier and more natural.
Grades as visual characteristics of wood
The structure of wood in each top layer plank of LAMAR parquet is different, making each a unique product of nature and giving it its charm and elegance. That is why Lamar parquet in each type of wood can be selected in variety of grades, which differ by natural characteristics of the wood.
