Hello everyone,
we are currently renovating a 1960s house, where there is an old mosaic parquet floor in the living and dining rooms. The wall between the kitchen and dining room was removed, and the tiled floor in the kitchen was taken out. Originally, the plan was to sand down the old parquet and install tiles in the kitchen area. Unfortunately, the flooring specialist has now told us that the old parquet floor cannot be saved. Therefore, we need to find an alternative solution soon.
We are considering installing a hybrid flooring throughout the entire area instead of tiles in the kitchen and new country-style floorboards in the living-dining area, as we find this more visually appealing. At the flooring store, we were recommended the hybrid floor "Hywood" by Ter Hürne. It is based on wood powder technology and is said to be extremely durable, scratch-resistant, and water-repellent. The problem is that the product appears to be so new that there are no user experiences available yet.
We are a household of four with two small children, so we need a floor covering that can withstand daily wear and tear and that won’t be damaged by the first puddle of water or a dropped pot, especially in the kitchen area.
Has anyone in this forum installed the Ter Hürne Hywood flooring and could share their experience?
Thank you in advance!!

MeikeMSadL27 Sep 2024 14:22I had been considering posting here for some time. I also strongly advise against the ter Hürne flooring "Design-Vinyl Floor Stone Samos"! Our entire house was fitted with this flooring in 2019; scratches appeared even before we moved in (and it wasn’t the kitchen installer!). The product description is quite misleading (including terms like "robust" and suitable for .........!). The floor is extremely scratch-sensitive! Despite using felt pads, marks, abrasions, and scratches form under the chairs that cannot be removed. Using ter Hürne’s cleaning products does not improve the situation. Even a high-quality Dyson vacuum causes scratches that can no longer be eliminated. And no, it’s not the dog or the children! ter Hürne has absolutely no complaint management system! Also, the baseboards have such a thin veneer that it peels off during cleaning with standard cleaning agents and cloths.
