Flooring / Parquet in Craiova

About this service

Flooring and parquet installation completely transforms the look and comfort of any room. Services include laminate flooring, solid wood parquet, engineered wood, traditional plank flooring, vinyl (LVT/SPC), linoleum, carpet, self-leveling screed, and skirting board installation. A specialist checks surface flatness, performs leveling if necessary, installs acoustic or thermal underlay, and finishes edges with skirting boards and thresholds. Laminate is the most popular choice due to its price-quality ratio and easy installation. Solid or engineered parquet adds value and elegance but requires more care during installation and with humidity management. SPC vinyl is increasingly popular in bathrooms and kitchens due to water resistance. The best installers know how to handle thermal expansion, work precisely at thresholds and door frames, and deliver a long-lasting aesthetic result. SmallJobs connects you with experienced flooring specialists with real reviews and competitive rates.

What to check before hiring a flooring / parquet

Check surface flatness before ordering flooring — correcting it later increases costs
Buy 10% more than the calculated surface area for cutting waste and spare pieces
Discuss with the specialist about compatibility of the chosen flooring with the subfloor type and heating system
Choose the correct wear class: AC3 for bedrooms, AC4 for living rooms, AC5 for heavy traffic
Allow the flooring to acclimatize in the room for 48 hours before installation
Ensure concrete moisture content is below 2% before installation
Request a written warranty for labor and check the installer's references
Don't skip the acoustic underlay — it significantly reduces impact noise on floors above

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does parquet installation cost in Craiova?

Labor for laminate installation is typically 15–45 RON/sqm, and for solid parquet 35–110 RON/sqm. Add the material cost (parquet, acoustic underlay, skirting boards), which varies significantly based on the quality chosen.

What types of flooring are available and which should I choose?

Laminate is the most economical and easy to install, lasting 10-20 years. Engineered parquet has a solid wood top layer with a longer lifespan. Solid parquet is the most prestigious, can be sanded and refinished, but is more sensitive to moisture. SPC vinyl is ideal for wet areas.

Is a self-leveling screed required before installation?

If the surface has unevenness greater than 3-5mm over 2 meters, a self-leveling screed is recommended. An uneven surface can cause creaking, warping, or premature wear of the flooring.

What acoustic underlay is placed under laminate?

A 1-5mm acoustic underlay (foam, cork, or composite materials) is installed under laminate flooring. It reduces impact noise and provides slight thermal insulation. Some laminate packages include underlay.

Can solid parquet be installed over underfloor heating?

Yes, but not all solid parquet is compatible with underfloor heating. More dimensionally stable wood species (oak, ash) are preferred. Surface temperature should not exceed 27°C, and relative humidity should be controlled.

How long does flooring installation take for an apartment?

For a 60-80 sqm apartment, flooring installation (including surface preparation) takes an average of 2-4 days. If self-leveling screed is needed, add another 1-2 days plus drying time.
