Why install teak parquet flooring?
Teak parquet flooring is unique for its oil content which makes it beautiful and durable. The oil also prevents drying and cracking and will not cause slipping. The oil preserves the wood the same way it preserves leather materials.
The natural oil that comes with this species of woods gives it the ability to protect the floor from fungi, mold or rotting. This makes the floor highly durable and preserves its beauty.
Teak wood is naturally water repellent due to its tight grain structure. This prevents water or humidity from penetrating through the wood. The natural oil fills any micro pores providing a seal.
