Hello,
After many months of searching for parquet flooring, we have finally found a floor that we really like.
It is the Castellano Schlossdiele by Belmono.
Manufactured in Bosnia and Herzegovina, we have already been in contact with the manufacturer. Everything sounded quite fine so far, and the manufacturer seems reliable. It would be possible to buy directly from the manufacturer, but then I would have to handle shipping and import myself, so purchasing through Holzland Becher or via a flooring installer is the only option. This is a new build (apartment), and we do not have a flooring installer yet, so there is no one to consult on this.
When looking at dealers and so on, you mostly see brands like Haro, Kährs, Meister, and Parador, as well as various private labels, such as HQ at Holzland Becker or Belmono at Holzland Becher.
The selection of Schlossdielen (German-style tongue and groove planks) is far less extensive than that of wide planks. We particularly like the Belmono floor because of its dimensions, 350 x 24 cm (138 x 9.4 inches). The individual plank already looks fantastic in the store!
The Schlossdielen from Haro and others sometimes cost twice as much as the Belmono planks. Now the question arises whether this price difference is really just due to the brand name, or if the Belmono plank is of lower quality?
It is important to us to have a high-quality floor that will bring us joy for many years. In principle, I would be willing to pay the extra cost for Haro and similar brands, but none of their plank designs appeal to us as much as the Belmono one. Hain also offers a floor that looks okay, but it would cost about twice as much per square meter, and it is visually only "okay."
Does anyone know Belmono and can share information about their quality?

Hello everyone,
Can anyone else share their experience with the Castellano floorboards from Belmono / Becher Holz? We currently like them as well, but unfortunately we cannot assess the quality. Has anyone here had experience with them? Or perhaps a design-wise comparable alternative?
Thanks & best regards

Hello Sebastian,
I’m just going to reply publicly, even though it seems like this topic doesn’t interest anyone else.
In the end, we went with Haro parquet, but only because I have direct access to the source and was able to get Haro parquet so cheaply that I couldn’t say no. Haro is Haro—you know what you’re getting. Ultimately, I just felt more confident about it.
Belmono is Becher Holz’s in-house brand, produced in Bosnia by a manufacturer called Drvoprodex.
I myself am from Bosnia and have been to the factory. As far as I can tell as a layperson, everything is top quality. Very professional, which has to be the case given the sheer volume they process and export.
However, and this is my only concern: in Bosnia, sustainable forestry is not always strictly observed, meaning logging sometimes happens where it ideally shouldn’t. Sure, this might also be the case with Haro. But in Bosnia, I witness it first-hand when I’m there, as I know some furniture manufacturers and am aware of how some operate.
To be fair, I would have still bought the parquet even if Haro hadn’t been so affordable (Plaza Oak Sauvage heavily textured plank flooring).

Hello EA-Tec,
Thank you very much for your detailed feedback. Basically, we share your view. With a German, Austrian, or Scandinavian manufacturer, you can be certain about the quality you will get.
Nevertheless, so far we haven’t found a single board from any of the well-known manufacturers that convinced us as much as the Castellano board. In terms of price, our offer is not really far off from Haro boards or similar.
Best regards
