Interior flooring in Marche-en-Famenne

Wood for warmth: The art of parquet

Nothing compares to the warmth and character of a parquet renovation. It is the preferred choice for living rooms and bedrooms. We offer a wide range of wood species — from classic European oak to species compatible with underfloor heating — and master all installation techniques:

• Solid parquet: made from a single piece of solid wood, it can be sanded and re-oiled multiple times over the decades. The most durable solution.
• Engineered parquet (semi-solid): excellent dimensional stability, ideal for wide planks and compatible with underfloor heating systems.
• Floating parquet: a quick and effective solution for renovating a bedroom or office without altering the existing floor structure.

The installation of skirting boards and finishing thresholds receives the same attention as the parquet itself. The connection with your frames and walls must be clean, with no visible gaps. A well-installed and properly maintained parquet lasts through generations without ever going out of style.

Prestige and softness: Marble and Carpet

Marble: a strong signal of heritage enhancement

For exceptional spaces, we carry out marble installation. Each slab is unique in its veining and shades. Installed in an entrance hall or reception room, marble brings a brightness and elegance that no other material can match. It is also a strong signal of heritage enhancement.

Contemporary carpet: acoustic comfort and winter warmth

Carpet renovation, long neglected, is making a comeback with high-quality natural and synthetic fibers. It offers unparalleled acoustic absorption of airborne noise and walking comfort, particularly appreciated during the cold winters of Famenne. Our installers ensure perfect tension and invisible seams for a neat finish.

Cuts, profiles, and junctions between materials

Successfully achieving your floor also means carefully addressing unique points. Precise cuts around door frames, clean junctions between different types of coverings, transition profiles in aluminum or brass that ensure visual fluidity between rooms.

Door adjustments and site restoration

The adjustment of interior doors is systematically checked after the installation of a new floor. We adjust each latch and, if necessary, we plane the bottom of the doors to ensure a frictionless opening. At the end of the project, we ensure a thorough cleaning: removal of debris and sawdust, restoration of passage areas. You receive a clean space, ready to inhabit.

Your trusted partner from Rochefort to Ciney

Our agency operates throughout the greater Marche — Waha, Marloie, Aye, Hargimont, On — as well as in neighboring municipalities: Rochefort, Ciney, Hotton, Nassogne, and Durbuy. We understand the specifics of local construction and the expectations of our Famennois clients.

Common issues and our solutions

Large format tiles lifting on insufficiently dry screed

XXL formats in porcelain stoneware are very trendy, but their installation requires a screed with a residual moisture content that does not exceed the manufacturer's thresholds — often 2% for cement screed, 0.5% for anhydrite. In Marche-en-Famenne, autumn and winter projects slow down natural drying. We systematically measure this rate with a professional tester before the first installation to avoid lifting or premature detachment of the tiles.

Flooring swelling due to lack of vapor barrier on cold slab

In single-story homes or ground floors common in the province of Luxembourg, the concrete slab remains cold and can release rising moisture. Without a properly installed vapor barrier and welded joints, the flooring — even engineered wood — swells, warps, and detaches within months. We systematically integrate this vapor barrier from the preparation phase, regardless of the chosen finishing material.

Failed junctions between two materials at room transitions

The transition between bathroom tiles and hallway flooring, or between living room tiles and kitchen polished concrete, is a unique point often poorly executed: poorly adjusted profile, residual height difference, joint that separates. We treat these junctions as complete finishes, with aluminum or brass profiles adjusted to the exact height of both surfaces for a visually clean and mechanically stable result.

Frequently asked questions

Flooring or tiles for a kitchen in Marche-en-Famenne?

For a kitchen, porcelain stoneware remains the most practical choice: resistant to impacts, stains, and moisture, it withstands heavy foot traffic without degrading. Engineered oak flooring is possible in a closed kitchen with proper ventilation, but requires more regular maintenance and strict moisture management. New technologies allow for wood-like imitations in porcelain stoneware that combine the aesthetics of flooring with the durability of tiles.

Can flooring be installed directly over old tiles?

Yes, provided that the old tiles are perfectly stable, with no loose tiles or cracks, and that their level does not create problematic height differences with adjacent rooms. A floating floor can be installed over the existing surface after checking for flatness. If the substrate has unevenness, a leveling compound (self-leveling screed) is applied beforehand to provide a perfectly flat surface.

How long should you wait before walking on a new floor?

For tiles, you generally need to wait 24 to 48 hours before walking on them, and at least a week before moving heavy furniture to allow the joints to harden. For a poured cement screed, complete drying before laying the covering can take several weeks. Polished concrete requires gradual hardening with protective layers. Our team specifies the deadlines to be respected for each situation during the project handover.

What is a leveling compound and when is it necessary?

A leveling compound, or self-leveling screed, is a product poured onto the existing floor that automatically levels itself to correct height differences and deliver a perfectly flat surface. It is essential before laying large format tiles or glued flooring, where even the slightest irregularity in the substrate affects the final result. In older homes in Marche-en-Famenne, aging screeds frequently present unevenness that requires this prior treatment.
