How can I effortlessly remove or replace skirting?
This is how you remove skirting without damaging your wall
Would you like to remove old skirting boards that have been glued on and replace them with something new, without damaging the walls? It is best to work methodically and carefully. The most efficient technique is to use a wide jointing knife (the type of knife usually used for plastering walls) to remove the skirting boards. Then gently hit the knife with a hammer between the skirting board and the wall. Move it gradually until the skirting board comes away from the wall.
How to remove skirting with a wire?
If you didn’t manage to remove your skirting boards with a jointing knife, another solution is to use a strong, fine strip of wire. Put on some work gloves and push a piece of nylon fishing line or fine steel wire between the joints of two skirting boards. Pull the wire with a back-and-forth movement behind the skirting board until it comes away completely from the wall. Remove any residues of adhesive from the wall with a sharp filling knife and sandpaper, so that you can effortlessly fit your new Parky veneer skirting boards or painted skirting boards.
How many skirting boards do I need for my parquet floor?
If you’re ready to add the finishing touches, it’s time to get started on those skirting boards!
Would you like to finish your Parky parquet floor down to the smallest detail with veneer or painted skirting boards? Great idea! But how do you know exactly how many skirting boards you will need to tackle the area in one go? No need to worry, here at Parky we have a handy trick for you.
This is how you can calculate the number of skirting boards you will need for your parquet floor
When you measure your room where you will fit the skirting boards, you must take cutting wastage into account. This is around 10% for skirting boards. Before you order your skirting boards, measure all of the walls where the skirting will be fitted (without taking any door openings into account). You should then multiply this measurement by 1.10 (10%). This will give you the number of centimetres of skirting that you will need.
Divide the number by the length of the skirting board that you would like to order, and you will have the number of skirting boards that you need to order.
The formula is as follows: length of walls x 1.10 / length of skirting board= number of skirting boards required
E.g. 2,200 cm (total length of the walls in the room) x 1.10 = 2,420 cm / 215 cm (standard length of a Parky skirting board) = 11.25 skirting boards. In this case, you will need 12 Parky skirting boards.
Here’s a classic tip from an experienced installer! Always round up the number of skirting boards. There’s nothing more irritating than being one piece of skirting short before you finish the job.
How can I cut mitres in skirting boards for my parquet floor?
Perfect mitres – putting a crown on your work
Once you bring the right number of skirting boards home, you can start fixing them. It is not so straightforward to cut mitres in skirting boards if you want to achieve a perfect result. However, if you use the right tools and take accurate measurements, you will manage just fine. We can promise you that a little extra effort here will be worthwhile. After all, it is the difference between ‘good enough’ and ‘perfect’ that will make your parquet floor look as if it were fitted by a craftsman.
These are the tools you need to cut mitres in your skirting boards
To measure each corner where your skirting boards meet, you will need a framing square or a bevelled protractor. These tools allow you to determine the exact angle at which you will have to cut mitres in your skirting boards. That way, you can seamlessly connect the skirting boards when you fit them. To make neat and accurate cuts, it is best to use a manual or electric mitre saw, which displays the size of the cutting angle in degrees.
This is how to cut mitres in your skirting boards
Measure the mitre angle in which the first skirting board needs to be cut using a framing square or a bevelled protractor. Mark out this angle in pencil on the skirting board. For inner corners, you should cut the skirting boards outwards at an angle with the correct number of degrees (so that the two skirting boards mate with each other). For an outer corner, you should cut the skirting boards inwards at the correct angle.
Tip: try out each skirting board in which you have cut mitres before you glue them. If the angle is not 100% correct, then you can remeasure it and cut a mitre in the skirting board again without messing around.
Have you cut the perfect angle? Great job. Here you can read how to effortlessly glue your skirting boards using the installation kit.
Which profiles do I need to finish my parquet floor?
Transition profile
Would you like to compensate for the transition between two floors of the same height or different heights? Alternatively, would you like to perfectly join your veneer parquet to a wall or window? No problem. Parky profiles in wood or aluminium let you finish your veneer parquet down to the smallest details.
Choose the right profile to finish your parquet
A wooden Parky profile is sufficient for everyday use. These handy 3-in-1 edging profiles come in all the Parky colours. You can choose from end profiles for a seamless, horizontal finish, adjustment profiles to bridge a gap to a higher or lower floor and transition profiles to absorb any expansion of your parquet floor.
Are you looking for a profile for intensive use in areas where there is a lot of footfall? This is why we developed special aluminium transition and end profiles that are even stronger than the wooden variant. The choice is yours.
Which skirtings do I need to finish my Parky floor?
This is how to choose the right skirting for your wooden floor
Your splendid Parky veneer floor has finally been installed and it perfectly matches the style of the rest of your house. But the next question is what type of skirting boards you should choose. Fortunately, your personal taste will make the choice a little easier.
Parky skirting is a perfect match for your parquet
Parky has matching skirting boards and paintable veneer skirting boards for the entire range of parquet flooring. However, if you would like to make it easy for yourself and you like a timeless look, choose veneer skirting boards that nicely transition into your Parky floor with the same colour and wood structure.
If you would like a more modern appearance, then paintable skirting is just what you’re looking for. It takes no effort at all to paint these skirting boards in the same colour as the wall that you are glueing them to. This is the perfect way to get a sleek final result.

General Info
Parquet or laminate – which is the best one to choose?
How to make the right choice between veneer parquet and laminate
If you are looking for a low-maintenance alternative to solid parquet, you will soon be faced with a choice between veneer parquet and laminate. Rightly so. Both products are very strong and are easy to install which is music to the ears of anyone who is not a DIY expert. Furthermore, they are also both in the same price range! Too many choices? No need to worry, we will set out the key differences for you between veneer parquet and laminate.
Is laminate the same as parquet?
No, there is a world of difference. Parquet is made from natural wood, while a laminate floor has a top layer made from plastic. The look of laminate is determined by a printed wood design on the top layer that is finished with a transparent coating. This makes it easy to maintain and hard-wearing, but less authentic. Strips of laminate have a tongue and groove so that you can easily lay them yourself.
What is the difference between a veneer parquet and a laminate floor?
Veneer parquet and laminate are also very different. The most important difference is that veneer parquet is a natural product, whereas laminate is not a natural product. They are also made up of various layers, but the top layer of a veneer parquet is a thin layer of real wood, whereas laminate has a plastic top layer. This gives the veneer parquet the natural look of a wooden floor that you also have with solid wood.
Veneer parquet can withstand the occasional knock as it has a strong HDF (high-density fibreboard) beneath the top layer. Furthermore, veneer parquet is just as easy to install as laminate thanks to the handy click system.
At first sight, veneer parquet and laminate may appear similar, but you will immediately notice the difference when you touch them. Pass your fingers over the planks and you will notice that the top layer which is made from natural wood in a veneer parquet feels warmer than the printed synthetic layer of laminate. That’s also good news for your feet in the winter!
It is this real wood which gives the floor – and also the entire room – true character, as no two planks are the same. The wood grains and the unpredictable structure give the floor an authentic dimension. Real wood is more sensitive to marks and scratches, but we have found a way to tackle this at Parky – the invisible Titanium Finish in the top layer. This makes the natural wood just as strong and easy to look after as laminate. It can withstand scrapes from chair legs, dropped children’s toys or the claws of your faithful four-legged friend without any problem!
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a veneer parquet?
Veneer parquet has major advantages
Parky veneer parquet has a multi-layer structure. This has many advantages compared to traditional parquet, laminate or vinyl. We are happy to explain the most important advantages here.
The 4 major advantages of Parky veneer parquet
- Ultra-strong and scratch-resistant
Parky veneer parquet is made from a layer of real wood on top of a high-density fibreboard (HDF). This makes veneer parquet better at withstanding impact and more stable than solid or semi-solid parquet. Furthermore, the new Woodshield further reinforces your floor against scratches and intensive usage. - Watertight protection
Can you imagine a life without spills? Anyone who lives with small children or pets knows that life is not so simple. However, there’s no need to worry as the Parky veneer parquet has got your back. The watertight surface of each plank means it has optimum protection against stains or spills if you wipe them off within 12 hours. This makes Parky just as easy to look after as vinyl or laminate. - The warmth of real wood
Each Parky plank is finished with a top layer made from authentic wood. Do you want oak, walnut, teak, or something else? The choice is yours! Similar to a solid wooden floor, no two planks are the same. This creates a lovely natural look, combined with the cosy warmth of wood. - A sustainable choice
Wood is an expensive natural material that we should use sparingly. That is why we only use a fine top layer of wood. It means that we need 25 times less wood for the production of our veneer parquet, compared to solid parquet. Furthermore, each tree that we use for our parquet floors comes from sustainably managed forests. The unique composition of each plank – including the HDF core – means they are also 100% recyclable.
Are there any disadvantages to veneer parquet?
Parky veneer parquet has the same advantages as solid parquet. However, there is one exception. The layer of veneer on a Parky floor is only 0.6 mm thick which means that you cannot sand it.
However, you will have enjoyed your Parky floor for many years before you need to do this. Furthermore, you can install a completely new Parky floor (0.6 mm) for the same amount as it costs to refresh your old parquet. Trends and your taste may change, so Parky will help you with your new choice.
How do I determine the best direction to install my parquet?
Why is it important to install parquet in the right direction?
Each Parky floor has its own natural character, and you have your own taste. You can choose from many different colours and all kinds of patterns and formats. Whether you choose a smooth and subtle style, a rustic style for a country look, or extra character, you can decide which wooden floor best matches your interior. The direction in which you lay the planks also determines the general appearance of a room. Before you lay your veneer floor, it is best to consider which direction is best to install the wooden planks.
How do you choose the best direction to install your parquet?
The format of your planks should be based on the size of the room. For smaller rooms, it is best to choose narrow, short planks. If you have a little more space, you are better off using wide, long planks. However, the direction in which you lay your planks can impact the result. If your room is fairly small, it is best to lay your parquet widthwise. In this way, you will create the appearance of more space between the long walls. If you would like to add more depth to a room, lay the parquet planks lengthwise.
However, it is not only the dimensions of a room that determine the direction you should lay your parquet. You can also take other factors into account, such as the position of doors. Planks that you lay parallel to doors create a less busy appearance than planks that are laid at right angles to doors. You can also determine the direction to lay the planks based on the windows in the room. When the parquet is laid at right angles to where light enters, the grooves between the planks are less noticeable. This means that you can play with optical effects to get the room exactly how you want it.
If you are unsure about the right way to lay veneer parquet in your home, do not hesitate to get more advice from your Parky specialist.
Is veneer parquet a good idea if you have a dog?
Parky and pets: the love is mutual
If you have a dog or cat in your home, you will certainly want a floor that can stand up to scratches and the odd puddle. Is a wooden floor an option? Rest assured, there is no need for animal lovers to worry.
Which wooden floor is suitable for dogs and cats?
You have probably already discovered this. The claws of your faithful four-legged friend can be quite sharp! That’s not good news for your clothing or your furniture. How about for your floor? Fortunately, Parky has an invisible Woodshield finish, with 8 ultra-strong layers of varnish that ensure that your floor can withstand occasional accidents.
What about those little accidents?
Has your pet left a puddle on your floor? These things happen! Just like muddy paws after a walk in the woods, an upturned water bowl or a wagging tail that knocks a glass of wine off of the dining room table. No need to panic. If you wipe away the wet patches within 12 hours, no traces will be left on your Parky floor.
Discover all of the wooden floors by Parky that are 100% animal-friendly.
I would like a wooden floor, but I am on a tight budget. Is it a lot more expensive than laminate flooring?
Engineered wood flooring makes wood affordable, no matter your budget
There is a way to get the natural look of wood in your home whatever your budget. Parquet is a generic term for various types of wooden floors, from solid planks to planks made of various layers such as composite parquet or veneer parquet. in addition, there is also laminate. However, the major difference is that this is not natural wood. Laminate is imitation wood printed onto paper beneath a synthetic layer. The top layer of Parky veneer parquet, on the other hand, is made from 100% real wood. Nevertheless, you can get a Parky floor for the price of a high-quality laminate floor!
What does a wooden floor cost?
Hardwood is an expensive raw material. The more wood that the floor contains, the more expensive it is. That is why the price of a solid parquet is usually higher than a semi-solid or veneer parquet. Furthermore, a solid wooden floor has to be treated and kept protected against marks, dirt and scratches. Laminate is often the cheapest and most user-friendly option, but it is also the least natural option.
If you like to have the best of both worlds, then Parky veneer parquet is what you are looking for. It combines the luxurious, warm appearance of solid parquet with the ease of maintenance and scratch resistance of laminate. It is also good to know that there are different Parky collections and something for every budget.
Did you know that you can get Parky veneer parquet for the same price as high-quality laminate flooring? In addition, the click system also makes it easy for you to install a Parky parquet floor yourself. In this way, you save a considerable amount on installation costs. What else is there to think about?
Installation
Can I install parquet on an existing floor?
Can I install a parquet on an existing floor? This is no problem at all.
The ideal moment to renew your floor is when you are rebuilding or renovating. The good news is that you do not need to pull up your existing floor to do so. If you take the following points into account, you can simply install your new parquet floor on top of your existing floor.
How do you install a new parquet on a wooden floor?
It’s no problem at all to install a new parquet on top of an old parquet floor. However, you should check whether the planks of the old floor are still stable, level and flat. It’s best to repair any defects in the underlay. You should also carefully check for any signs of moisture or mould and make sure that everything is clear and dust-free. If everything is in order, unroll your Basic or Silent underlay over the old wooden floor and lay your new Parky veneer parquet or floating floor on top. By the way, did you know that you don’t need an underlay for our Deluxe collection as it has a cork underlay? Now that’s handy!
How do you lay new parquet on floor beams and an OSB board?
If you’re starting with wooden floor beams, it’s best to first lay a covering floor using OSB boards. Those boards must be stable, firm, and level when they are fixed to beams. One major advantage of this technique is that you can determine the direction in which to lay your new parquet floor, without having to take the direction of the floor beams into account.
We also recommend that you lay a noise-damping underlay between the OSB layer and your new Parky parquet. You can also lay the floors in our Deluxe collection directly, without an underlay.
How do you lay your new parquet on concrete or screed?
If you would like to lay your Parky veneer parquet on a concrete floor, this is also an option. You should first make sure that all of the rougher irregularities are removed from the concrete and that the floor is nice and flat. Then make sure the floor is dry and dust-free.
If screed is used for the levelling covering floor on your concrete surface, you should also make sure it is completely dry before you lay your Parky floor on top of it. For screeds without underfloor heating, the moisture content should be 2.5%. For screed with underfloor heating, it should be less than 2%, and it should be less than 0.6% for anhydrite screed.
You should also put down an underlay between the concrete and the screed and your wooden floor to prevent condensation. This not only combats rising moisture, but it also absorbs minor irregularities and prevents contact noise when you walk on the floor. If you choose a veneer floor from our Deluxe collection, then you only need a damp-proof film to prevent rising damp, as the cork already has a noise-damping effect.
How do you lay your new parquet on tiles?
Do you have ceramic tiles, marble or natural stone in your house, but you would prefer the warmth of a wooden floor? Just leave the floor where it is! That is better than pulling it up because you will avoid damaging the screed or underlying pipes. It also saves you a lot of work.
Before you start work on your parquet floor, it’s best to carefully check whether all the tiles are still properly attached. If they are stable, even and level, then your tiled floor is ready for you to place an underlay on top. This will give you the ideal base for your new Parky floor. If you choose a floor from our Deluxe collection, there is no need for an underlay.
However, there is one exception. If there is underfloor heating beneath your tiled floor, then it is best to remove the tiles.
This is because the extra layer between the underfloor heating and the new parquet floor will cause too much heat loss.

How can I glue down Parky parquet with adhesive?
An alternative to a floating floor: glueing down parquet on a screed using adhesive
Installing Parky veneer parquet as a floating floor is the simplest method if you want to do the job yourself.
It is fast and simple because of the handy tongue and groove system. If you would prefer to glue down your multi-layer parquet to the screed, this is also an option.
What is the best way to glue down a parquet floor as a floating floor?
If you want to glue down your veneer parquet, you first need to clean the screed very well. You should also make sure that it has dried properly and is completely level. If there are any irregularities in the surface underneath, you may occasionally need to apply an epoxy moisture screen, a primer, or a floor levelling compound before you start to lay your parquet.
When you glue down the parquet using adhesive, you glue the sections of the floor directly to the surface. A notched trowel is used to spread the special parquet adhesive onto the screed. The planks are then clicked into each other and laid on top of the adhesive. This type of installation requires more skill, which is why we usually recommend leaving this job to a professional.
How do I lay parquet as a floating floor?
This is how you can easily install parquet as a floating floor, without adhesive
Parky uses the Unifit X® system for installation as a floating floor. The planks can be quickly and firmly clicked together thanks to the handy tongue and groove system. Not only is this quicker, but it is also a lot easier than using adhesive.
What preparation is necessary for laying a parquet floor as a floating floor?
Parky is a genuine wooden floor. That is why you have to leave the planks for 24 hours in the room where you want to lay your veneer parquet floor. By allowing the wood to adjust to the environment, you will prevent the floor from sharply expanding or shrinking after installation.
When you install a parquet as a floating floor, it means that the planks are not fastened to the solid floor (for instance, a screed) on which the wooden floor is laid. The ideal base for this kind of floating floor is a solid floor with an underlay on top. The underlay takes care of minor irregularities, absorbs contact noises and protects your floor against rising moisture.
Get to work!
Parky parquet has a top layer made from natural wood. That is why you should mix up the planks from several packages. By doing this, your parquet floor with have richer shade variation, otherwise, there is the chance that two planks from the same tree with a similar pattern will end up being placed next to each other.
First, you should determine the direction in which you will lay your Parky planks. We recommend laying the planks lengthwise which will enable you to create the longest strips. This will also make your room appear larger. If you have chosen a parquet in a herringbone pattern, such as Parky Swing, follow the recommendations and installation instructions.
Our Parky installation kit contains everything that you will need to install your parquet as a floating floor: a tapping block, an impact iron, and spacers. All ready to get started? You will find step-by-step installation instructions for your type of Parky parquet on our downloads page. Have fun with the installation!
Is it possible to combine your Parky floor with underfloor heating?
A Parky parquet floor is perfect for installing on top of underfloor heating
Here’s some good news for anyone who wants to combine natural wood with cosy, warm feet – you can combine parquet with underfloor heating without any problems at all. However, there are a few things that you need to bear in mind.
What’s the best way to lay parquet on underfloor heating?
Parky veneer parquet and underfloor heating are the perfect match. You can lay the floating floor on a different (level) floor, such as a screed. For the greatest efficiency, it’s best to lay your Parky directly on the underfloor heating and put a special underlay in between. You should avoid using an existing floor as an intermediate layer.
You can lay a Parky parquet floor on wet or dry underfloor heating. In a wet system, the heating pipes are embedded in a wet screed. These must be completely dry before you lay your Parky floor on top of them. You should also put down an underlay between the screed and your wooden floor to prevent condensation.
In a dry system, the pipes are laid inside a sleeve made from insulating foam and covered with an underlay. In this case, you should lay your Parky parquet on top. This is the most efficient method to combine a wooden floor with underfloor heating.
Does parquet provide good efficiency with underfloor heating?
The thermal resistance indicates how much energy that underfloor heating loses through the floor. If this value is below 0.15 m²K/W, then the floor is suitable for underfloor heating. The table below shows that all Parky wooden floors achieve good efficiency when they are combined with underfloor heating.
| PRO | MASTER | DELUXE+ | SUMMIT | SWING | |
| Thermal resistance
(m²K/W) |
0.053 | 0,073 | 0.109 | 0.073 | 0.073 |
| Thermal conduction
(W/mK) |
0.14 | 0.14 | 0.11 | 0.14 | 0.14 |
You can find further technical details about Parky and underfloor heating on our downloads page.
How can I install veneer parquet myself?
How to get started when installing a wooden floor
Are you planning to install your wooden floor on your own? This checklist will help you to optimally prepare for a carefree installation of your Parky floor.
- Leave the planks for at least 24 hours in the middle of the room where you are going to install them so that they can acclimatise.
- Check that the subfloor is clean, firm, dry, smooth and flat. If you notice any minor irregularities, there is no need to worry. You can take care of these with an underlay.
- Remove the doors, vacuum the subfloor and make sure that there is adequate lighting.
- Get all the necessary equipment ready: the Parky installation kit, a framing square, hammer, cutter, Parky moisture-resistant tape, a tape measure or folding ruler, a circular power saw, a pair of knee pads and the correct underlay.
Have you checked everything off your list? Great. Now you’re ready to get started.
Which underlay should I choose for a veneer parquet?
If you want to get the most out of your Parky veneer floor, place an underlay between the subfloor and your veneer parquet. This will protect it against moisture, absorb contact noises, conduct heat and also level out minor irregularities when you use a floating installation.
Parky has developed the Basic and Silent underlays. Both underlays have an integrated moisture screen and are compatible with underfloor heating. The only difference is that the Silent variant is even better at absorbing noise than the Basic variant. If you have chosen a Parky floor with an integrated cork layer, then in principle you will not need an extra underlay. This is because the cork already has a sound-damping effect. In this case, it is advisable to protect your floor against rising moisture using Parky damp-proof film. If you would like to give your Parky floor extra protection against moisture, we recommend taping together the strips of underlay or damp-proof film with our moisture-resistant tape.
Installing a parquet floor as a floating installation or using adhesive
If the underlay is in place, then you can start the installation. You should bear in mind that a Parky floor is made from real wood. That is why you need to leave a sufficient expansion gap by each wall and around any obstacle on the surface (such as door frames or heating pipes). The minimum expansion gap is 10 mm or 1 mm per metre. Each Parky plank has a handy click system. Since the planks simply click together, it is easy to lay a Parky parquet floor as a floating installation. For the Pro and Lounge collections with the Uniclic click system, you just need to tap the planks together with a hammer. If you chose long planks or the herringbone motif, then you can simply slot the planks into each other thanks to the handy Unifit X-click system. Just a push and a click, and it’s ready!
Since a Parky floor conveniently clicks together, most people choose a floating installation. Would you prefer to use adhesive for your parquet floor? That is also perfectly possible, though you should make sure to use the right kind of parquet adhesive. If you are unsure about anything, first check here for the installation instructions that Parky has put together with Mapei for a glue-down installation. If you follow these instructions carefully, nothing can go wrong.

Is veneer parquet suitable for the bedroom?
Veneer parquet is the wooden floor for your bedroom that you’ve always dreamt of.
Many people choose laminate as a budget-friendly option for their bedroom floor. However, the major drawback of laminate is that it can feel cold underfoot. On the other hand, when you walk on Parky veneer parquet, it feels snug and warm. Veneer parquet combines the warmth of natural wood with strength and ease of maintenance. The top layer is made from real wood and feels warmer underfoot. It also exudes much more character, as each plank has a unique grain structure.
How much will a wooden floor for my bedroom cost?
Parky veneer parquet starts at the same price as high-quality laminated flooring. This means you can rest assured – veneer parquet is an affordable and natural alternative to laminated flooring or ceramic parquet for your bedroom.
Is veneer parquet suitable for my living room?
You can create an exceptional living room with a wooden floor
Are you looking for the warm charm of a quality wooden floor for your living room without all the maintenance of a solid parquet? Then Parky’s wooden floorboards are the ideal solution.
Choose sustainable wood
Parky’s veneer parquet is made from 100% real wood from sustainable forests. We only use what we need. In other words, we do not use solid planks, but instead, we use a fine top layer of veneer wood. This top layer is reinforced with our Woodshield technology including 8 invisible layers of varnish and an Aqua Sealing Complete that make the surface and V grooves impervious to water. It means that veneer parquet is stronger and easier to look after than solid parquet but it has the same natural look – and uses 25 times less wood. Mother Nature thanks you!
Super strong, water-resistant, and scratch-proof
A Parky floor is designed for living. Each plank gets its strength from a high-density fibreboard. This is a material which even solid and semi-solid parquet can’t match, so your floor will be able to withstand the occasional accident. Since we finish each plank with our Woodshield technology, there is no need to worry about scratching your floor. A test track for your youngest’s baby walker? Check. Playground for some rough-and-tumble play with your faithful four-legged friend or a dance floor for parties at home with friends? Double check. Even if those friends spill some of their dip or cocktail in the heat of the moment, there is no need for drama. Just clean it off within 12 hours and the top layer and grooves will stay perfectly protected thanks to the Aqua Sealing Complete system. Do we need to say any more?
