What type of flooring do you recommend?

It depends on your use and budget. For a living room or bedroom, solid oak flooring is ideal (50+ year lifespan). For a child's room or office, engineered flooring offers good value. For high-traffic areas or tighter budgets, quality laminate is recommended.

How long does it take to install flooring?

For an 80 m2 apartment, allow 3 to 5 days for floating installation and 5 to 7 days for glued installation. Sanding and varnishing an existing floor takes 2 to 3 extra days. Allow 24 to 48 hours drying time before moving furniture back.

How should I care for a wooden floor?

A varnished floor is simply cleaned with a vacuum and a damp mop. An oiled floor needs a maintenance oil coat 1 to 2 times a year. Avoid excess water and place pads under furniture. A renovation sanding is recommended every 10 to 15 years.

Which parquet should you choose for a bathroom?

Solid teak or treated oak parquet works, but requires regular maintenance. Moisture-resistant engineered parquet is more practical. Avoid laminate that is not designed for wet rooms. Plan for waterproofing under the parquet.

Are wooden windows still a good choice?

Yes, wood offers excellent thermal and acoustic insulation. Wood-aluminium windows combine interior warmth with exterior durability. Lifespan of 30 to 50 years with maintenance. Eligible for Minergie subsidies.

Bespoke carpentry

Our carpenters design and build unique pieces tailored to your spaces: bespoke furniture (bookcases, wardrobes, kitchens), panelling and wainscoting, complete fit-outs for shops and offices, wooden staircases, windows and doors. Every piece is crafted in our workshop using selected timbers and fine finishes.

Flooring: solid, engineered and laminate

Your choice of flooring sets the tone for an entire room. Solid wood flooring (oak, walnut, beech) offers elegance and longevity, it can be sanded and refinished multiple times. Engineered flooring combines the look of noble wood with dimensional stability. Laminate, a more affordable option, faithfully reproduces the look of wood with high wear resistance.

Professional installation and care

Installation quality is decisive for your floor's lifespan. Our flooring specialists master all techniques: glued, floating and nailed-down installation. They also carry out sanding, varnishing and oiling of existing floors to restore their original lustre.

Factors that influence the price of carpentry and parquet

The type of wood is decisive: softwood (affordable), hardwood (mid-range), exotic woods (high-end). For windows, the frame material (PVC, wood, aluminium, wood-aluminium) and the glazing (double, triple) influence the price.

For parquet, the choice between solid, engineered and laminate makes the cost vary. Finishes and installation complexity are additional factors. Request your quotes via Edirex to compare.

Energy performance and Swiss standards for carpentry

The Minergie label requires specific Uw values for windows. The MoPEC requires the replacement of single-glazed windows during renovations. The cantons of Vaud and Geneva offer subsidies under the Buildings Programme.

For staircases, SIA standards define the regulatory dimensions. The FSC and PEFC labels guarantee sustainable wood.

Choosing the right carpenter or parquet installer

A qualified carpenter holds a CFC in carpentry or cabinetmaking. For parquet, make sure the installer masters your type of flooring. Ask for a portfolio of completed projects.

With Edirex, you access verified carpenters in the cantons of Vaud, Geneva, Fribourg and Valais. A maximum of 3 quotes for a fair comparison.
