Buy flooring in the Home-Deluxe online shop – the right floor for every requirement

Flooring – Which flooring you choose depends on several factors. Floors aren’t just important visually; different rooms have different demands. It makes a big difference whether you need a floor for wet areas, your private office, or your living room.

This guide explains the most popular flooring types and their key characteristics.

Popular flooring at Home-Deluxe

Whether elegant parquet, modern vinyl, or classic laminate – there are plenty of options. To help you decide more easily, here’s an overview of the most popular choices:

• Laminate
• Vinyl (design flooring)
• Parquet
• Tiles

Laminate flooring – the popular, budget-friendly alternative

Laminate has been one of the most sought-after floors for years. It’s easy to maintain, durable, and available in countless designs. That makes laminate a great fit for both rental apartments and owner-occupied homes. Laminate is mostly made from HDF boards — compressed wood fibers, largely sourced from natural raw materials.

High-quality laminate often lasts ten years or more without showing major wear. Minor unevenness in the subfloor can be compensated easily, and localized pressure isn’t usually a problem. Some modern laminate options are even suitable for bathrooms.

Laminate – advantages

• Mature, well-established product
• Budget-friendly
• Easy installation thanks to click system
• Durable and low-maintenance
• Many designs available
• Largely made from wood fibers

Laminate – possible disadvantages

• Can be quite loud without impact sound insulation
• Poor heat storage
• Sensitive to moisture (except special wet-room variants)

Vinyl flooring – versatile, modern and comfortable

Vinyl is becoming increasingly popular. Thanks to its low build-up height, it’s especially suitable for rooms with low door clearance. Vinyl is made from PVC and is flexible, easy to work with, and pleasantly warm underfoot.

You can choose between a click system and full-surface bonding — depending on the room conditions and the level of stability you want.

Vinyl – advantages

• Very thin floor build-up
• High elasticity
• Quiet, warm underfoot and comfortable to walk on
• Resistant to moisture
• Easy to maintain
• Many decors available

Vinyl – possible disadvantages

• More expensive than laminate
• Softer surface, therefore more prone to scratches
• Made from plastic

Parquet – the elegant classic for decades

Parquet is made from real wood and is considered a particularly high-quality, long-lasting flooring option. From engineered parquet to solid planks — there are many variants. Parquet feels warm and natural, and it fits a wide range of interior styles.

The higher the quality, the more often parquet can be renovated and sanded. This means a parquet floor can last for decades — sometimes even for generations.

Parquet – advantages

• Natural and sustainable product
• Very durable
• Robust and easy to maintain
• Can be sanded multiple times (depending on type/quality)
• Elegant look and easy to combine
• Available oiled or lacquered

Parquet – possible disadvantages

• Higher purchase cost
• More maintenance with oiled finishes
• Not every parquet type is suitable for DIY installation

Tiles – extremely durable and timeless

Tiles come in many designs — from modern to rustic to natural stone. They are especially long-lasting, water-resistant, and easy to care for. This makes them suitable for all rooms such as living room, kitchen, bathroom or hallway.

Natural stone tiles in particular are timeless and retain their appeal for decades. However, installation should ideally be done by professionals, as mistakes are difficult to correct.

Tiles – advantages

• Very durable and long-lasting
• Water-resistant – ideal for any room
• Easy to maintain
• Timeless design

Tiles – possible disadvantages

• Higher price
• Professional installation recommended
• High effort if you later want to remove them

If you’re planning a renovation, it’s worth taking a look at Home-Deluxe’s high-quality vinyl flooring — perfect for modern living concepts.
