Solid Parquet Flooring in Madrid

The benchmark timber for noble wood flooring. In solid wide-plank installations, the densest selections originate from continental Central and Eastern European forests, where severe winters slow growth, yielding tight annual rings with optimal dimensional stability against Madrid's dry indoor heating.

North American hardwood variety with faster growth than European oak, featuring open pore structure and warm pinkish to light brown hues. Its higher tannic acid reactivity requires blocking primers before applying 2K waterborne polyurethane finishes to prevent yellowing or hazy discolouration.

European hardwood with cream to whitish tones and very fine grain. While offering high surface hardness, its cellular structure exhibits high volumetric shrinkage (0.50%), making it sensitive to sharp winter humidity drops caused by central heating in Madrid. In solid wood installations, strictly avoid radiant heating and specify vapor-barrier underlays.

Light-toned timber with closed pore structure, very fine grain, and dense compact fiber. Provides a sleek luminous floor that amplifies interior natural light. Due to its dense cellular structure, it requires fine sanding sequences to prevent circular swirl marks and non-yellowing aliphatic waterborne finishes.

Mediterranean noble timber with irregular, highly figured marbled grain and intense golden-brown streaks. Its exceptional density and hardness make it virtually impervious to surface wear. Typically installed in small format (traditional herringbone or Versailles borders) due to the limited dimension of olive trunks.

South American tropical timber with extraordinary physical density (950 kg/m³) and deep reddish-brown colouring that matures to rich russet under light. Its mechanical hardness exceeds oak by more than double, offering supreme resistance to high-heel denting and continuous foot traffic.

One of the densest and hardest commercial timbers in the world (approx. 1,050 kg/m³). Naturally rich in lapachol mineral deposits, it exhibits fire resistance comparable to concrete (Class A / Bfl-s1) and natural immunity to rot and termites. Suitable for both luxury outdoor decking and high-traffic interior flooring.

African hardwood with striking espresso-brown to jet-black colouring and contrasting fine brown grain lines. Its straight grain and open pore create a bold graphic statement in contemporary architectural projects. Demands meticulous sanding and specialized alcohol or polyurethane primers to seal dark extractives before waterborne topcoating.

Brazilian tropical hardwood with warm chestnut-to-chocolate tones and contrasting golden streaks. Its interlocked grain and 950 kg/m³ density deliver outstanding wear resistance and tenacity against point-load indentation.

Southeast Asian hardwood characterized by coppery-brown tones with tiny golden mineral flecks in its vessels. Renowned for outstanding dimensional stability (exceptionally low volumetric shrinkage, 0.35%). Contains water-soluble tannins that must be properly sealed to prevent tannin bleeding if exposed to free moisture.

Equatorial hardwood with rich reddish-violet coloration and dark undulating figure, boasting density over 900 kg/m³. Its tight grain and mechanical tenacity make it exceptionally resistant to warping and denting. Requires professional sanding machinery and silicon carbide abrasives to prepare the pore properly.

African timber (Erythrophleum ivorense) exceptionally heavy and hard. Weighing approx. 920 kg/m³ with Janka hardness over 2,200 lbf, it is the classic choice for flooring subjected to heavy, continuous foot traffic without showing indentation marks or wear.

North American noble hardwood ranging from chocolate brown to dark espresso with cream sapwood highlights. Highly prized in bespoke cabinetmaking and custom flooring for its dimensional stability, supple machining properties, and rich natural colour that requires no staining. We protect it with ultra-matte waterborne 2K sealers to preserve its raw silk luster.

Noble African hardwood (Pericopsis elata) traditionally known as African Teak. Features fine texture, straight grain, and extraordinary dimensional stability. Its hygrothermal behavior makes it one of the most reliable tropical hardwoods for indoor flooring in climates with sharp seasonal shifts.

African hardwood (Milicia excelsa) with medium-to-coarse grain and slightly interlocked fiber. Initially golden yellow, it patinates to warm teak brown with light exposure. High natural durability; natural chlorophorin oil in its pores requires solvent degreasing of bonding surfaces before applying silane or polyurethane adhesives.

Iconic Asian tropical timber (Tectona grandis) celebrated for its natural essential oils and silica content. Virtually impervious to water and sharp humidity swings, it has minimal volumetric shrinkage (0.25%). In glued-down floors, requires adhesion-promoting primers to ensure elastic silane bonding to its oily surface.

Dense timber from managed fast-regenerating forest plantations, available in reddish or creamy-white varieties (Eucalyptus grandis / globulus). Features high mechanical strength, though its fibrous cellular nature demands strictly controlled kiln drying to prevent internal stress or cupping during installation.

Native Iberian timber with pronounced grain structure and golden brown tone. Noted for low volumetric shrinkage (0.38%) and high natural durability due to its high tannin content, making it biologically resilient against fungal decay. A classic Madrid heritage timber, seen in period apartments in Chamberí and the Barrio de las Letras.

Historic virgin pitch pine (Pinus palustris) salvaged from 19th and early 20th-century buildings in Madrid. Slow-grown centuries ago in virgin forests, its saturated heartwood resin (tea) delivers unmatched rot resistance, biological immunity, and deep amber patina that no modern pine can replicate. Demands specialized resin-blocking primer before applying 2K waterborne polyurethanes.
