Wide or narrow plank on the floor?

RuckZuck advises on how to bring out the potential of the interior

Abrasion class, decorative pattern and surface structure are some of the most important features that consumers pay attention to when choosing panels for an apartment. However, these are not the only parameters that determine the appearance of the floor and the entire arrangement. RuckZuck proves that the width of the board also has a significant impact on the final effect.

– Although we often do not realize it, the width of the board largely determines the final appearance of the floor. Properly selected, it can optically enlarge the space, add an elegant look to the room and provide an ideal arrangement background. To meet the needs of customers, we offer panels in several widths, tailored to different types of interiors - says Katarzyna Śliwińska, head of the marketing and advertising department, RuckZuck.

The basic width of the board is approx. 194 mm. These types of panels will work well in rooms of standard size. It is the most universal and safe solution, which is why there are many such proposals on the market (e.g. the Wiparquet Authentic 8 collection).

The second group consists of narrow panels with a width of approx. 160 mm. They are intended for interiors with a small area. Arranged parallel to the shorter walls, they visually "expand" the space, making the room seem larger and more spacious. This effect is additionally intensified by the choice of a light decor and glossy structure (e.g. from the Freedom 4V collection).

In turn, the latest proposition of manufacturers are wide panels (approx. 282 mm). They are great in rooms with a large area, but not only. They emphasize the splendor of the interior, and also affect the dignified face of the floor and the entire decor. In a spacious apartment (apart from a wide plank), it is also worth choosing a dark color and a matte structure, which in combination will give the floor a noble character. The choice of panels with an above-standard width is a trend that is growing in strength and results mainly from the desire to introduce a dose of luxury and refinement to the apartment.

When selecting panels, check whether their edges have been cut in a characteristic way, creating the so-called V-groove. Thanks to these millings, the floor after installation will not create a uniform surface, but will clearly separate each board.

– The fashion for open space took hold in Polish homes a few years ago and since then it has enjoyed constant popularity. There is a growing interest in wide panels that are perfect for this type of housing. In response to this demand, last year we supplemented the RuckZuck offer with the Villa 4V collection - it is distinguished not only by the wide plank, but also by the high AC4 abrasion class and a wide selection of decors. For several months, customers have also been able to take advantage of our second proposal - the Arteo line, which includes boards of various sizes. They look very original and attractive - adds Katarzyna Śliwińska.
