Have you ever walked on your wooden floor and heard that annoying sound?

The “squeak” that disrupts the calm of the space and gives the impression that the flooring is old or unstable.

The truth is, this sound is not always a defect in the flooring itself; rather, it may be caused by several simple reasons that can be easily fixed.

First:

  • What are the causes of parquet squeaking?
    – Uneven subfloor
    If the surface on which the parquet is installed is not perfectly level, the planks begin to move slightly under pressure, which causes this sound.
  • Expansion and contraction due to temperature
    – Wooden floors react to changes in temperature and humidity by expanding or contracting, which may lead to friction between the planks.
  • Unprofessional installation
    – In some cases, the cause is improper fixing of the planks during installation.

Second: Practical solutions

  • Ensure the subfloor is leveled before installation
  • Use high-quality insulating foam
  • Leave appropriate expansion gaps between planks
  • Choose a flooring type that is resistant to changes, such as SPC
