Parquet in the kitchen
Parquet in the kitchen for a refined and functional home.
Parquet in the kitchen is no longer a taboo. In fact, if in the past it was not recommended to lay a wooden floor in the most important room of the house, today it is now a consolidated habit, thanks to the use of correct wood essences and small daily precautions.
The choice of a parquet in the kitchen is an almost obligatory decision when we are in the presence of open space environments with an open kitchenette to standardize the spaces with the same flooring.
Instead, it can be a daydream for those who want a warm and welcoming environment for their fireplace or for those who still love the rustic, shabby or country style for their home.
Humidity and temperature variation are certainly the fears of every homeowner. In the kitchen, as in the bathroom, there are frequent changes in the microclimate and sudden increases in the humidity rate due, for example, to cooking with large quantities of steam.
To overcome this problem, it will be essential to choose a hard, stable and resistant wood such as Oak, Teak or Iroko. These essences, especially in a pre-finished parquet, are resistant to humidity, water, temperature changes and foot traffic.
This last factor should not be underestimated in one of the most used spaces in the house, especially in the areas of the stove and sink most subject to abrasion.
The painted finish is the most used: it protects the wood, avoiding the absorption of liquids (oil splashes, acidic drinks, etc.), if promptly removed. However, oiled parquet can also be recommended, because it allows you to remove stains from the affected area, re-oiling the surface.
A parquet in the kitchen needs little attention every day to last over time: it is a good idea to always ventilate the rooms to maintain a humidity level between 50% and 60% and a temperature between 18 ° and 21 ° C, as well as quickly dry stagnant water.
As far as the type of installation is concerned, the glued one is preferable, to protect the screed from any infiltration and stagnation of water that could damage our parquet in the kitchen.
That wood in the kitchen is becoming a must have in every new home is also demonstrated by the tendency to use it not only for the flooring, but also for the walls and the top. The boiserie behind the sink or stove is a chic element increasingly chosen by design lovers.
It is also important to remember that lived-in parquet is part of the history of a house: scratches, marks, wear are elements that make the parquet in the kitchen even more natural and material and can even be chosen from the start by opting for an antique wood.
