How Much Does It Cost to Install Parquet Flooring? Price per m² in 2025

These differences in parquet installation costs are important when choosing what type of parquet to install in the kitchen or bathroom. These are humid rooms, which requires synthetic parquet. Another way to differentiate these floors is by the type of wood. The raw material can come from countless tree species, although some are much more common than others. Pine is the most economical, while oak or tropical woods are a good option for quality/price ratio.

In addition to these woods, parquet can be made from cherry, ash, teak, ipe, maple, etc.

• Solid wood parquet: it's made from a single layer of wood that can range from 1 cm to 3 cm thick. This makes its lifespan very long, since it can be sanded and revarnished several times to restore its original beauty if the floor is damaged. The price varies depending on the type of wood, the finish, and the thickness of the planks, and can range from 35 € to over 100 €/m².
• Synthetic or laminate parquet: it's made from wood materials or wood derivatives. The top layer is actually a highly resistant laminate that mimics wood and is protected with melamine resin, which gives it great durability. It cannot be sanded, but in return it's more economical. As for cost, you can find it starting at 7 €/m².
• Multilayer parquet: in this case, the material is made up of several layers of wood of different thickness. The top layer, of higher quality, usually has between 2.5 mm and 4 mm, which allows it to be sanded and revarnished. Its price starts at 30 €/m², although it can reach 80 €/m².
• Pine wood parquet: it's one of the most common woods because it's easy to work with, and it's economical. With golden tones, it's soft, lightweight, and can show different grain patterns. It starts at around 20 €/m².

Logically, when calculating how much it costs to install parquet, the larger the planks (in terms of length) and the wider they are, the more you'll pay for them as expected. If you don't have budget concerns, our advice is to choose XXL-sized ones since they look great in spacious rooms.

Thickness of the wear layer

When asking yourself what the cost of parquet installation is, keep in mind that the thickness of the wood you walk on, of this top layer, directly influences both the quality of that floor and the costs. The more millimeters, the more you'll have to scrape and varnish, and this will increase the price of parquet laying.

• Oak parquet: normally of European or American origin, it's a semihardwood and semi-heavy type of wood with some grain that adds texture. Its color is honey or brownish-yellow, although it varnishes easily. Its price can range from 40 € to 60 €/m², depending on the type of wood and finish.
• Wenge parquet: it's a very hard tropical wood, extremely resistant, heavy, and very distinctive for its dark color and straight grain. It can cost around 70 €/m².
• Beech parquet: it's a type of semihardwood from Europe with a very light color that can range from orange to pinkish, although if exposed to steam for a time the color becomes reddish. The price would be around 35 €/m².
• Iroko parquet: in yellowish or golden tones, it comes from Africa. It's a semihardwood with few knots. Its cost can be around 45 €/m².
