Hi,
we are buying a condominium, and the general contractor has agreed that we can choose our own parquet flooring outside of the standard materials.
The contractor offers:
Boen parquet, wide plank oak Vivo, brushed and oiled, 2200 x 181 x 14 mm (wear layer 4 mm) (7 ft 3 in x 7 in x 0.55 in)
A local interior designer recommended HAIN parquet (Ambiente Maroneiche Vario oiled), 220 x 19.5 x 1.5 cm (wear layer 4 mm) (7 ft 2 in x 7.7 in x 0.6 in)
At a local wood specialist store (Holz Hahn in Krefeld), we liked a no-name parquet with the same dimensions and a 4 mm wear layer best.
Advantage of Holz Hahn: They would also stain a live edge wood counter to match the parquet color exactly.
All three options are roughly the same price.
Do you see any pros or cons with these brands? Would you recommend something completely different?
Best regards
Maria

I am very happy with the decision to use HAIN country house planks (white oiled oak). What I particularly like is that these planks have almost no bevel on the sides, so they create a uniform surface. The individual planks stand out less compared to, for example, Weitzer, whose products were also great for me except for this difference. But of course, that is purely a matter of personal preference.
I believe that the price differences between various products are also reflected in the quality of the grading.
