Objectively speaking, although the so-called hard types of wood differ from each other in their hardness, each type of wood, as a natural material, is subject to damage if sufficiently strong pressure is applied to it. Figuratively speaking, if a heavy and/or pointed object falls on the floor, it is very likely that the parquet (surface coating and cover lamella) will be damaged, such as a small dent and/or scratch, regardless of the type of wood the cover lamella is made of. . However, it is still advisable to install hardwood flooring in high-frequency, especially commercial spaces, as it is somewhat more resistant to mechanical damage.
Seen from an aesthetic point of view, interior designers usually recommend installing parquet made of a lighter type of wood in smaller rooms, because it will optically increase the space. Parquet made of darker types of wood, as well as parquet of larger dimensions, fit better in rooms with larger surfaces.
Given that every customer/person has their own developed taste and sense of beauty, the decision about which type of wood is the best choice for your interior is solely up to you. We recommend that you definitely visit the nearest POŽGAJ GROUP showroom (Zagreb, Split, Varaždin), because in this way you will minimize the possibility of making a mistake when choosing and maximize your satisfaction with the purchased parquet.
