Vapour barrier
Greaseproof paper or transpiring material is placed above the sand screed, to create a vapour barrier.
Thermal insulation
For ground floor dwellings it is advisable to create a layer of thermal insulation by laying a panel made of wood or cork fibre.
Underfloor
Hard wood-fibre underfloor (no glues)
Nailing of parquet
The solid tapped wood parquet is directly nailed to the hard wood-fibre underfloor.
Parquet laying finished
On completion of the work the surface of the parquet is perfectly calibrated (the innumerable gaps between one plank and the other are absent, unlike in the bonded version).
Protective nylon
The parquet is covered with a sealant nylon layer to protect from atmospheric humidity and from subsequent works.
