Oak parquet

Oak parquet comes in several structures, each with different properties of stability, thickness and format. The choice of parquet type depends on the space, heating system and desired visual effect.

[Two-layer oak parquet](/{lang}/parchet-stratificat/parchet-dublu-stratificat) — top wood layer bonded to a softwood substrate. Smaller total thickness, excellent dimensional stability and a surface look identical to solid parquet. Common choice in residential projects prioritising underfloor-heating compatibility.

[Three-layer oak parquet](/{lang}/parchet-stratificat/triplu-stratificat) — three perpendicular layers that counterbalance each other; robust structure resistant to humidity variation, suitable for large surfaces and high-traffic zones. Formats range from narrow strips to wide boards over 200 mm.

[Oak Herringbone parquet](/{lang}/parchet-stratificat/herringbone) — a classic European pattern reinterpreted with contemporary materials and finishes. Short strips installed at 90° to one another, creating a visual rhythm that adds depth. Frequently chosen in living rooms and premium interiors.

Oak Chevron parquet — looks like Herringbone at first glance, but the strips are cut at 45° or 60° and meet in a perfectly aligned point. More ordered and linear geometry, suitable for elegant and contemporary projects.

Oak is probably the only species that works credibly across the entire colour spectrum: from brushed white to dark shades like smoked oak. The final shade depends on the treatment: natural oil, brushing, staining, smoking or thermal treatment. The choice depends on the desired parquet colour, existing furniture and natural light. Matching parquet with doors ensures coherence throughout the interior.

Natural oak — keeps the original wood tone: a warm beige-gold, with subtle grain variations and fine knots. The most popular finish in the Kulttur collection, chosen for both modern and classic interiors. Rustic finish emphasises these variations, with visible knots and naturally filled cracks.

Light/white oak — treated with white oils or stains that mute the natural wood tone, creating a luminous and airy surface. First choice in Scandinavian and minimalist interiors or apartments where natural light needs amplifying.

Golden oak — brings intense warmth: a deep honey tone, more saturated than natural, that visually enriches any space. Frequently chosen for living rooms, bedrooms and homes where the floor must contrast with light or neutral furniture.

Dark/smoked oak — gets its shade through smoking (controlled ammonia exposure) or thermal treatment, processes that change the colour throughout the wood depth, not just on the surface. Ranges from chocolate brown to brownish black, with the natural texture remaining visible.
