Adhesives, skirting and care.

The right accessories determine the final result — from quality parquet adhesive and impact-sound insulation to maintenance oils and soaps. Terris Timber stocks only genuine manufacturer products — everything a professional installation and years of proper floor care require.

We choose proven quality: WOCA care products from Denmark, Berger Seidle adhesives from Germany and natural-rubber impact-sound insulation. Not sure what you need? Get in touch — we'll advise you based on your floor type and installation method.

Oiled wood floors are maintained with two different products, and one does not replace the other. WOCA wood floor soap is the everyday product: it cleans the surface while feeding it at the same time, and is recommended for regular damp mopping (diluted in water). Use it often — weekly, or as needed.

WOCA maintenance oil is used far less frequently — a few times a year, or whenever the surface starts to look dry, dull or worn in high-traffic areas. The oil rebuilds the wood's protective layer and enlivens the natural grain. The rule is simple: soap for cleaning, oil for renewal. Choose both to match your floor's tone (natural, white or tinted).

Not every floor is glued down. Click-system parquet and vinyl are normally laid floating, without adhesive. However, herringbone and chevron parquet, XL boards and large-format tiles are bonded directly to the subfloor — for stability, heat transfer and quietness.

For parquet we recommend Berger Seidle M1X flexible parquet adhesive from Germany (a roughly 21 kg tub covers ~15–20 m²). It is low-emission and EMICODE EC1 certified — safe for residential use. Glued parquet is especially well suited to underfloor heating, as it eliminates the air gap between board and subfloor.

When laying click parquet or click vinyl without an integrated underlay floating, impact-sound insulation is recommended. It dampens footfall noise, protects against moisture rising from the subfloor and evens out minor irregularities.

Our natural-rubber insulation reduces impact sound by up to 28 dB — an excellent solution for apartment buildings and upper-floor rooms. Important: if your vinyl already has an integrated acoustic underlay, do not add another layer — a second underlay can compromise the stability of the click joints. It's an easy mistake to make, so talk to us before you buy.

Beyond adhesive and insulation, a successful installation calls for the right tools: a tapping block and mallet to close the click joints without damaging the edges, spacer wedges to maintain the expansion gap along the walls, and a pull bar to lock the final row into place.

The finishing touch is skirting boards matched to your floor's tone — smoked oak suits dark parquet, while natural oak or a white profile suits lighter floors. Skirting conceals the expansion gap along the walls and gives the interior a finished look.
