Why the finish matters
Appearance, feel and care depend on the right treatment
Whether newly installed or after sanding: the surface shapes the floor’s character long term. A well-informed choice pays off – ideally using samples and with everyday use in mind.

Orientation
Oil, sealant or colour?
Oiled parquet
A more natural, open look with tangible wood texture. Care and occasional refreshing are part of long-term use.
Sealed or lacquered parquet
A closed protective layer with a more even surface. Depending on use and care expectations, this can make sense – we discuss limits and expectations openly.
Coloured or toned parquet
Colour tone and room character can be changed. Sample boards and daylight in the room are important for a convincing result.
Care and refreshing
Existing finishes can often be refreshed or adjusted – depending on condition and the previous system.
There is no one-size-fits-all “best” solution. Wood, use, maintenance expectations and the desired room effect matter – we explain the differences clearly.
Typical situations
When a new surface treatment makes sense
parquet has been sanded and needs a new finish build-up
the surface looks dull, stained or uneven
an old sealant is worn or no longer appropriate
an oiled floor needs refreshing
the colour tone should be adjusted or renewed
renovation after refurbishment, kitchen or furniture changes
retain the existing floor instead of full replacement
Decision guide
What matters for parquet finishes
Wood species and grade
Grain, hardness and tone influence how oil, lacquer or toning appear.
Sanding pattern and preparation
A clean, even base is essential for a coherent result.
Oil, lacquer or sealant
System and build-up must suit the existing floor and use.
Colour tone and sample board
In the room’s light and on real samples, the effect becomes clear.
Use and wear
Hallways, pets or children’s rooms place different demands.
Maintenance effort
We discuss what is realistically maintainable day to day.
Daylight and furnishing
Light and furniture change how the floor colour is perceived.
Drying and use
Times until careful use depend on product, layers and conditions – we give guidance after agreement.

After sanding
Surface treatment after parquet sanding
Sanding and the right finish often go together in renovation: only once the existing floor has been abraded is it clear which treatment is technically and visually appropriate.
The chosen finish influences how the floor is maintained later and how it responds to wear. We assess the existing floor honestly and recommend a build-up that suits wood and use.

Execution and care guidance

Should parquet be oiled or sealed?
Both can be appropriate. Oiled surfaces emphasise wood texture and need regular care. Sealants or lacquers form a more closed layer. Use, maintenance effort and the desired look decide – we advise without a blanket recommendation.
Can parquet be coloured or toned?
In many cases the colour tone can be adjusted – depending on wood, previous finish and desired effect. Sample boards and realistic expectations matter.
When is parquet oiled or sealed after sanding?
After sanding and preparing the surface, the agreed build-up is applied. Timing and layer sequence depend on the project and products chosen.
How maintenance-intensive is oiled parquet?
Oiled floors need attention in daily use: dry mopping, suitable care products and occasional refreshing. We explain what is realistic for your floor.
