Species & constructions FAQ

Species, grading, finish, solid / engineered

Which wood species do you use for parquet?

Oak, ash, walnut, maple, cherry, teak, merbau, wenge and more — 40+ species. Species, grading and finish are fixed in the specification before production.

What is Select, Nature and Rustic grading?

Select — calm grain, minimal knots. Nature — natural variation. Rustic — character: knots, contrast, sapwood. Grading shapes look, not strength alone.

How do I choose solid vs engineered construction?

Solid allows deeper refinishing. Engineered (2–3 layers) is more stable on large areas and often suits underfloor heating. Both are covered here; engineered landing: /catalog/parquet/engineered-board.

Oil or lacquer finish?

Oil — tactile feel and spot repair. Lacquer — higher wear resistance. Tinting, brushing and thermo are also available — matched to care and room load.

What does one timber batch mean?

Floor, kitchen, doors and panels from one species and grade lot — tone matches now and years later.

How is this different from the interior wood species catalog?

This page is floor material: constructions, grading and parquet finish. Kitchens, doors and furniture species: /catalog/wood-species.

What is Cardinal Hall's single-batch wood concept?

One wood lot for the entire interior — floor, doors, kitchen, stairs — identical tone for decades.

How long does Cardinal Hall dry timber?

280 days of chamber and thermobaric drying. 6–8% moisture, ±0.5 mm geometry.
