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?

We have just decided on Gutshofdielen. Their website states:
“The forestry and sawmill company Hegener-Hachmann has been family-owned for four generations at Gut Hanxleden. In addition to traditional agriculture and forestry, the sawmill has always been operated here.
Following the motto ‘Improving quality of life, naturally through and with wood!’, we manufacture solid wood floors made from locally sourced timber under the brand name ‘Gutshofdiele’.
Primarily using regional oak, but also ash, maple, beech, larch, spruce, and Nobilis, exclusive floorboards for indoor use are produced through a complex manufacturing process. The ‘Gutshofdiele’ stands out for its high level of quality and precise fit”...
And:
“Because we do not think and act in short-term periods when managing our own forest, forest preservation and ecological balance are priorities. For example, logs are only harvested between November and January. During these months, the trees are in a kind of ‘winter dormancy.’ The sap flow is then minimal. Timber cut at this time is proven to have especially high quality.”
Our local eco-building materials store offers this supplier. We have chosen oak at 59 euros per square meter (sq ft). For the children’s rooms, we are still considering it because it is quite a significant expense...

Did you use ecological building materials in your house?
If yes, which ones?
Are you asking me now? We want only "plastic-free" floors (wood and in the bedroom either a wool carpet or cork. For the children's room either linoleum or cork. We are still unsure about that). And on the walls, wherever possible, lime plaster with a suitable decorative plaster on top.
We also paid just under €56 per square meter (about $60 per square yard). At the time, you couldn’t find the flooring anywhere for less than €72 per square meter (about $80 per square yard). With just over 100 square meters (about 1,080 square feet), we were glad to have gotten it at a “good” price.
The structure feels amazing when walking on it! I honestly can’t remember the last time I wore socks inside the house.
By the way, choosing hardwood flooring turned out to be one of the best decisions. Friends advised against it, saying it’s “too sensitive, dents, scratches”... all nonsense. Yes, there are two or three small marks, but on one hand, they’re hardly noticeable, and on the other hand, the feeling underfoot is simply fantastic.
I never want anything other than wooden floors again.

Well, in our opinion, it is definitely better than laminate.
What are you getting at?
We don’t really have much knowledge about the topic, but if the building material ever needs to be disposed of, we want it to be as environmentally friendly as possible. That’s why we chose these types of flooring.
