We make it easy for you
Thanks to our clever "Top Connect" installation system, laying your new parquet flooring is child's play.
Have you found your dream home and now all you need is the right flooring? If you have a weakness for the natural, warm look of real wood, then parquet is just your thing. Just like laminate, laying parquet is no rocket science. Whether you're a hobby craftsman or a DIY pro, with our various installation techniques, anyone can quickly create a new parquet floor that will make you happy for a lifetime. It's up to you whether you want to lay your parquet as a floating floor or glue it down. However, we will be happy to tell you about the advantages of each system.
Did you know:
With the HARO rail system, you can also easily install parquet flooring on your wall. The planks are clicked onto the rails with clips and fixed to the wall. This allows you to extend the floor surface upwards, e.g. behind the TV, and create a real eye-catcher.
Three simple ways to your dream floor
Floating installation with click parquet
Roll up your sleeves, because you can start with the floating installation of prefinished parquet without much preparation. Thanks to the Top Connect installation system, your new floor is laid quickly and accurately. And all without glue!
Angle
Press
Ready
The Top Connect click system is probably the most uncomplicated installation system in the world. Simply angle the planks in lengthways and lock them at the ends with little effort. You don't need any special tools for this installation - a folding rule and a saw are all you need. Before you know it, your floor will be rock solid and you can move into your new home without having to wait. Removing your finished parquet when you move is just as easy as installing it.
Full-surface bonding
If you're already sweating just thinking about gluing down your new parquet floor, we can put your mind at rest. Because even if this method requires a little more patience than a floating installation, gluing down parquet offers clear advantages. The floor cannot work as hard here, as it is firmly bonded to the subfloor. This not only makes subsequent renovation easier. Loud footfall noises are also a thing of the past. If you want underfloor heating to keep your toes nice and warm in the cold season, full-surface bonding is recommended as it ensures even better heating performance.
Not every DIY enthusiast dares to glue down parquet. This is completely understandable, especially in rooms with many angles. In this case, simply seek advice from a specialist. For a healthy home, you should rely on the proven low-emission and low-pollutant HARO elastic adhesive. Solvents in the adhesive are no longer an obstacle. Thanks to full-surface bonding, you can enjoy your new parquet for a lifetime.
Are you a flooring professional or would you simply like more information on full-surface bonding? Then you'll find all the information you need in one place here.
Good to know:
HARO 3-layer parquet with Top Connect is also suitable for gluing over the entire surface HARO 2-layer strip parquet must be glued anyway.
Revolutionary ComforTec installation
You simply can't decide whether you want to lay your parquet as a floating floor or glue it down over the entire surface With a floating installation, your new floor covering is laid quickly, but the more complex technique of full-surface bonding significantly reduces room noise. With the ComforTec adhesive planks from HARO, you get the best of both worlds: They offer pleasant peace and quiet and are very easy to install. Thanks to the self-adhesive strips on the underside of the planks, you can easily glue your parquet to the subfloor.
First apply HARO Primer Adhesive primer for mineral substrates to the screed to ensure that the adhesive strips adhere well. Then remove the protective film, press on and you're done - it can be that quick. You don't even have to fiddle around with parquet adhesives. In contrast to full-surface bonding, your new parquet with ComforTec is immediately ready for use.
Our tip:
Are you installing parquet in a narrow hallway? Make sure that the installation direction is lengthwise. And in rooms with large windows or e.g. a patio door, always install across the incoming light.
Comfort all along the line
You'll be surprised how much parquet changes the atmosphere of a room. However, our engineered parquet doesn't just have a lot to offer visually. To turn your home into an oasis of peace and relaxation, footfall sound insulation is essential. Additional underfloor heating ensures pleasant warmth even in the cold season. You should definitely treat yourself and your feet to this.
Thanks to modern manufacturing processes, we are technological leaders in the field of underfloor heating. Our entire range of HARO parquet floors is suitable for installation over underfloor heating. The choice of our designs is therefore not limited if you like to have toasty warm feet. In addition to a pleasant living climate, underfloor heating also helps to save energy. This is an unbeatable argument, especially for house builders. The energy consumption of underfloor heating is significantly lower than that of a conventional radiator, as it can be kept around 3°C lower without negatively affecting the sensation of warmth. A clear advantage for the environment and your wallet.
For real comfort within your own four walls, you should definitely not do without an insulating carpet pad under your parquet. Before laying your parquet, you simply have to decide between our pre-laminated or loose insulation carpet pad. All HARO 3-layer floors are available with the Silent Pro insulation carpet pad already attached. This means that the plank and insulation are bonded together. This type of plank offers two clear advantages: Hollow spots or air bridges, which lead to muffled, loud sounds, are avoided. It also allows you to lay your new parquet and insulation in just one step. Of course, you can also opt for a loose insulation carpet pad if Sidu installs your parquet flooring as a floating floor. Just like when laying laminate flooring, the carpet pad is also placed between the subfloor and the floor covering for finished parquet.
We recommend the following insulation underlays:
Silent Pro DS
The premium product for best sound behaviour and high walking comfort with integrated vapour barrier.
Thickness: approx. 3 mm, item number: 411490
Thermal resistance: 0.010 m² K/W
Silent Eco DS
High-quality acoustic mat with excellent room and impact sound properties. Manufactured on an ecological basis.
Thickness: approx. 2 mm, item number: 411488
Thermal resistance: 0.010 m² K/W
Silent Energy DS
High-quality acoustic insulation underlay with integrated vapour barrier. Perfectly suited for use with underfloor heating.
Thickness: approx. 1.5 mm, item number: 408292
Thermal resistance: 0.004 m² K/W
Regardless of which type of insulation you choose, impact sound and room noise are reduced to a minimum. Silent Pro reduces room noise by 30 percent (maximum individual values achieved according to EPLF impulse hammer test, based on reference floor) and impact noise by 19 decibels (according to DIN 140-8). In a condominium, this should also please your neighbors. And who knows, maybe they will thank you with an invitation to the next barbecue. Incidentally, impact sound insulation under your new floor is not only good for your ears. Joints and spine are also relieved by the soft, springy tread.
