IS PARQUET FLAMMABLE?

One of the greatest fears for those who approach the world of wood flooring and wish to furnish their
homes with parquet is the risk in the event of a fire that this may increase the spread of flames. Wood is a
highly combustible material, but if we talk about wood flooring we have to take other factors into account
and see how it is not such a dangerous material.

The most modern types of pre-finished flooring consist of a 3 to 5 mm thick noble surface wood, and the
part underneath consists of multilayers that guarantee greater stability. The last part is characterised by a
birch, fir, larch or poplar backing with a total thickness of between 10 and 15 mm. Finally, the finish.
A parquet floor is not conducive to the spread of fire.
