Flooring materials used in both open and enclosed spaces are among the most important applications in decoration. They contribute to creating a more spacious and rich appearance in the areas where they are applied.
Wood is one of the oldest materials used since ancient times. Wood has been used for its ability to harmonize outdoor spaces with nature, from the early years of its use to recent times when it has been produced at a certain level of quality. Therefore, with the technological advancements in the construction industry, more durable alternatives such as tiles and ceramics were introduced. However, with the advancement of technology in the construction sector, highly durable wood materials began to be produced, leading to a resurgence in the use of wood in outdoor areas.
Wood materials are commonly used in outdoor areas such as terraces, pool sides, balconies, gardens, cafes, and restaurants. They are materials that will withstand all weather conditions for many years and will not deform when exposed to water.
Outdoor Parquet Prices
The prices of parquet materials used in project areas vary depending on the material used, the quality of the material, the dimensions of the project area, and the manufacturer.
There are differences in the application time depending on the application techniques of the materials used in the project area. Applications with easier installation have shorter processing times. The application time is one of the factors that affect the price.
Among those made of wood, there may be price differences depending on the type of wood used, production technology, and weight.

Differences Between Indoor and Outdoor Parquet Flooring
Although the materials produced for outdoor areas are the same as those produced for indoor areas, they are produced with different characteristics. Since outdoor areas are exposed to external weather conditions, they are produced to be more durable. Compared to the flooring used inside buildings, they are lighter in color and harder. They are more resistant to friction, wear, sunlight, water, moisture, and humidity. Flooring materials that are easier to clean from dust and stains are used in outdoor areas.
Materials produced for outdoor areas must be coated to prevent water seepage onto the surface where they will be mounted. They are laid much more carefully.

Wood and Wood-Look Parquets
From the past to the present, wood has been the most compatible flooring material with nature. Therefore, wood is the most commonly used material outdoors.
Wood deck and composite deck are resistant to water and can be used for many years without deformation. Wood deck is produced from rare and imported wood species. Thanks to the innovations in the construction sector, the drawbacks that were observed in the early days of use are no longer seen. With advanced technologies, they are produced to be highly durable and long-lasting. Maintenance should be performed periodically as indicated by the manufacturer or the company that applied the material. The surface should be regularly maintained to prevent it from being worn out by weather conditions, physical factors, dust, and dirt. Maintenance materials should be recommended products of the companies. Regular maintenance should be carried out to prevent dirt on the wood surface from penetrating beneath the surface over time.
Wood deck is resistant to friction and wear. It is a hard flooring material produced from high-quality wood species. It does not scratch on the surface.
Natural wood material, produced from natural wood species, has a non-slip surface and is one of the materials with the highest heat insulation. It is a waterproof material that has been beautifying outdoor areas for years.
Wood material is a flooring material that gives a warm look to any environment. Depending on the type of wood it is produced from, there are different color and pattern options available.
Composite Deck Parquets
As an alternative to wood deck material, composite deck material has started to be produced in the construction sector. Composite deck is composed of wood chips mixed with polyurethane material.
Composite deck is one of the longest-lasting flooring materials. Its properties such as not splintering, not molding, not decaying, and not being susceptible to insect infestation have made wood more widely used in outdoor areas.
Outdoor flooring materials made of composite material, which is not affected by water, moisture, and humidity, are very durable, practical, and comfortable.
Wood-look composite parquets do not require maintenance, polishing, waxing, or painting, and are the most popular material for wet floor areas. Even if exposed to heavy water, there is no wear on the surface.
Stain-resistant composite parquets are especially advantageous in outdoor areas such as poolside, cafes, and restaurants. Cleaning with warm water is sufficient for food and beverage spills.
Thanks to its heat balance system, the surface does not get damaged even if extremely hot foods are spilled on it. With its heat and sound insulation, it is one of the highest quality, safest, healthiest, and most durable flooring materials.
In living spaces, it is the indispensable flooring material for poolside areas on hot summer days. Barefoot walking is comfortable on the surface of the composite deck. Even if exposed to intense sunlight, it is a material that does not fade in color. It can be used outdoors without any problems for many years, maintaining its original appearance.
Ceramic Floor Tiles
Ceramic floor tiles are a highly durable material that is resistant to all weather conditions, water, and moisture for many years. There are many color and pattern alternatives available. It is an easy-to-clean flooring material. Due to its price and the fact that it does not require maintenance at regular intervals, it is one of the most preferred materials.
It is crucial for the subfloor to be flat for ceramic floor tiles. Additionally, care should be taken to secure the ceramic material during installation. If smoothness and stability are not ensured, there is a risk of cracking. This can give it an old appearance. It is a flooring material that may have a risk of slipping depending on its fixation and material quality.
The duration between the start and finish of ceramic floor tile application is longer compared to other materials.
It is important to choose colors and patterns that harmonize with nature. Otherwise, the environment may have a cold appearance.
There are joint gaps where ceramic tiles connect to each other. To maintain its new and aesthetic appearance, the maintenance of these joint gaps should not be neglected. With proper maintenance, ceramic tiles can be used for many years.
Tile Flooring
It is a lightweight and easily transportable material. It can withstand water and weather conditions, so it can be used for many years. There are color and pattern options suitable for the decoration of spaces. Due to technological advancements in wood materials, it is now less preferred.
Marble Flooring
It is a flooring material with a luxurious appearance. It is long-lasting and durable. It is one of the most expensive materials. Although it is long-lasting, there is a risk of deformation against hard impacts on the surface. Depending on the quality of marble, it may have non-slip properties. In recent years, it has been used in decoration together with wood and composite deck materials.
