10 best solid wood manufacturers

The wooden floor is increasingly finding fans among the Russians, who are filled with plenty of linoleum and laminate flooring. Natural wood gives every room a unique warmth and comfort. If earlier the board was repelled by the complexity of installation and subsequent operation, today many manufacturers offer locking structures. It is possible to lay a massive board independently without the expensive equipment and additional materials. However, buyers have difficulty choosing because of the rich assortment on the Russian market. Well-known (and not so) foreign brands and young ambitious manufacturers from Russia came together in a tough competition. Which one of them to give preference?

How to choose a massive board manufacturer

1. Traditionally excellent quality of wooden boards offered to domestic consumers by European companies. If the German and Scandinavian brands are famous for classic wood species, then manufacturers from Italy or the Netherlands attract the buyer with exotic.
2. American and Canadian companies bring at least an exclusive massive board to Russia from overseas. They have an advantageous location in close proximity with unique woodlands.
3. There are interesting proposals and domestic wood processors. Some of them specialize in local woods, others import raw materials from abroad. Equipped with high-performance equipment, Russian brands compete on equal terms in terms of quality. At the same time, an affordable price becomes attractive for consumers.

For the processing of exotics, special technologies are required in order to offer the consumer competitive products.

The company can increase the density of soft wood by using special processing methods.

Amigo

Rating: 4.5

Quality products in the middle price category are offered by Amigo. The concern also chose simple tactics, locating production sites in those regions where there are rich stocks of suitable wood. The entire range of massive boards under the Amigo brand can be divided into 2 groups. Classics of the genre is considered to be products from oak. Many experts believe that the manufacturer turns out one of the best oak boards. The company pays a lot of attention to collections of exotic woods, for example, bamboo, avarian, etc.

Some users hastily purchased an exclusive board that feels bad in the climate of Russia. Experts recommend to use only products made of oak. Therefore, the brand takes only the seventh row of the rating.

Rating: 4.5

A unique massive board attracted the attention of experts the Italian company Premier parquet. A small firm focused on processing only one species of wenge tree. Raw materials are imported from Africa, each batch from the Black continent is carefully monitored. Focusing on exotic wood, the manufacturer was able to choose the optimal processing modes. As a result, a massive board has a hardness higher than that of oak, and its density exceeds that of a merbau tree. Therefore, no additional treatment is required to withstand mechanical stress.

The advantages of the solid board of the Italian manufacturer include the resistance to biodegradation, the absence of deformation after many years of operation. The brand closes our rating because of the narrow specialization.

The best domestic manufacturers of solid wood

Massivoff

Rating: 4.6

It took a decade for the ambitious Russian company Massivoff to turn from a small firm into a well-known solid wood board manufacturer. The secret of success, according to experts, lies in the location of production workshops next to deciduous forests. But reducing costs in the modern world is not enough to win the hearts of customers. The company's specialists have developed more than 40 different designs, protected the board with an environmentally friendly polyurethane varnish. It should be noted that the products are constantly being improved, because of this, it is not always on sale that you can find user-verified collections. Among the shortcomings is indicated by the yellowing of the coating over time, as well as the simple design of the budget series.
