Why choose Avenir Renovations?
Why choose parquet flooring?
1. Natural and warm aesthetics
With its wood species, shades, and grain, parquet creates a warm, authentic, or contemporary atmosphere depending on the finish chosen (raw, varnished, oiled, bleached...). It fits well in both classic interiors and modern lofts or new homes.
2. Walking comfort and insulation
Wood is a living material that offers a pleasant sensation underfoot, while naturally acting as a thermal and acoustic insulator.
3. Longevity and ease of maintenance
A well-installed and well-maintained parquet can last for several decades. It can be sanded and renovated, unlike many disposable coverings.

The different types of flooring we install in Belgium
At Avenir Rénovations Belgium, we ensure the installation of all types of flooring, whether they are solid, engineered or laminate, installed glued, floating or nailed. Each type of flooring has its technical characteristics, aesthetic appeal and ideal use depending on the rooms and the expectations for comfort, durability or budget.
| Type of flooring | Main characteristics |
| Solid flooring | 100% wood, durable, high-end, glued or nailed installation |

Solid flooring is made 100% from a single wood species. It is the most noble and durable flooring, used for centuries in character buildings. It can be sanded and renovated multiple times, giving it exceptional longevity.
Advantages:
- Natural, living and very resistant material
- Can last more than 50 years
- Adds value to the home (oak, beech, merbau, walnut, etc.)
- Custom finishes: varnished, oiled, waxed, raw
Limitations:
- Higher price
- More technical installation (glued or nailed)
- Sensitive to humidity and hygrometric variations
Ideal for:
- Living rooms, bedrooms, reception areas
- High-end properties, heritage renovations
Engineered flooring consists of three superimposed layers: a noble layer of real wood (2.5 to 6 mm), a support of particle board or plywood, and a stabilization layer. It is the best compromise between aesthetics, durability and budget.
Advantages:
- Less expensive than solid
- Compatible with underfloor heating
- Good dimensional stability
- Floating or glued installation
Available finishes:
- Oiled, varnished, brushed, beveled, stained, aged…
Ideal for:
- All types of interiors (houses, apartments, offices)
- Renovation with or without removal of the old floor
Laminate is not a wood floor in the strict sense, but a decorative covering on HDF support (high-density fiberboard), with a wood imitation print on the surface. It is an affordable, quick to install, and very aesthetic solution.
Advantages:
- Very affordable price
- Easy click installation (ideal for renovations)
- Very wide choice of designs: natural wood, bleached, dark, raw effect...
- Scratch and wear resistant
Limitations:
- No sanding possible
- Less warm to the touch than natural wood
Ideal for:
- Bedrooms, offices, secondary rooms
- Rental housing, quick renovations
Some floors (engineered or laminate) are designed for a floating click installation, meaning without glue or nailing. This system is perfect for a quick installation, even over an old floor, with an integrated acoustic underlay.
Advantages:
- Time-saving installation
- No heavy work required
- Can be easily disassembled or replaced
- Compatible with an insulating underlay
Ideal for:
- Renovation projects without major construction
- Installation over existing tiles or flat slabs
The flooring can be installed in decorative patterns to create high-end visual effects and enhance the architectural character of a room. These patterns require a more technical installation, often glued, with a precise layout.
Main patterns:
- English herringbone
- Hungarian point (V-shaped pattern at 45°)
- Broken sticks (Versailles or Haussmann style)
Advantages:
- Remarkable aesthetics
- Enhances large spaces and elegant interiors
- Available in solid or engineered
Ideal for:
- Living rooms, entrance halls, private hotels, high-end offices
- All our floors can be stained, oiled, or varnished in a matte, satin, or glossy finish.
- We also provide refurbishment of old floors: sanding, filling, varnishing, or oiling.
- We install matching baseboards and finishing thresholds for perfect integration of the flooring into the existing environment.
