What is parquet?
FEP has made substantial efforts in the past to obtain the establishment of a European Norm clearly specifying that a wood flooring product can only be called “parquet” if its real wood top layer is at least 2.5mm in thickness. This endeavour allowed securing and safeguarding the quality image of parquet versus other flooring alternatives on the market, as well as versus panoply of imitations.
