At Van Avermaet they are of the opinion that the market share of (veneer and solid wood) parquet and even laminate is certainly under pressure as a result of the introduction of LVT. These floors are ideal for projects. A company representative comments, "In particular, floating floors with a very durable LVT top layer are being fitted more and more in hotels. This type of flooring is ready for use immediately and does not need to be glued. This largely eliminates complications and damage during the work." It is certainly the floating fitting on an HDF pedestal with a click joint which is the most popular, although a glued fitting for large surfaces does have its advantages. The star product from Van Avermaet in this segment is the Wicanders Vinyl Comfort Alaska Oak (1220 x 185 x 10.5mm), which costs €33.02 per square metre (not including V.A.T.) for private clients.
