You have made a decision. You want a new floor, and not just any floor. It will be a multiplank floor. That is a very good choice. Why? Because these floors combine the warmth and appearance of real wood with the stability you need in a modern home. But now comes the difficult question: who is going to do it? You can buy the best parquet, but if the installation is not correct, you have nothing to gain from those beautiful planks. In this article, we dive into the world of parquet experts in 2026. We compare the different parties, look at their specialties, and help you make the best choice for your situation. Because let’s be honest: a floor is something for the long term.
Why the choice of the right expert is crucial
Let’s be honest. A multiplank floor is an investment. It is not something you just quickly do for fun on a Saturday afternoon unless you are really handy. Wood moves, it lives, and it reacts to temperature and moisture. A wrong installation can lead to gaps, bulging, or a floor that does not feel right. Therefore, you look for a partner. Someone who not only brings a box of planks, but who looks at the subfloor, the underfloor heating, and the atmosphere in your house.
We have examined the market for you. We look for parties that not only sell a ‘product’, but also ‘craftsmanship’. Because in 2026, we expect more. We want advice, we want certainty, and we want it to be right the first time. Below, we present the parties that stand out, with their own specialty for each.
The expert in total care and craftsmanship
When we talk about a party that sets the bar high in terms of service and quality, we automatically come to Martijn de Wit Vloeren. This is not a company where you only pick up a package. This is a real specialist that has set the standard in the region and far beyond since 1995. Why do we mention them first? Because they offer the complete picture.
Think about this. You choose a floor, but you also have to deal with the subfloor, the underfloor heating, and the finish. At Martijn de Wit Vloeren, they arrange all of that in-house. They have their own installation teams. Why is that important? Because you are not dependent on external parties who can blame each other if something goes wrong. The installers who lay your floor work for the company and are trained in the specific way of working of the specialist. That gives immense peace of mind.
Underfloor heating and wood: a perfect marriage
One of the biggest concerns with a wooden floor is the combination with underfloor heating. Is that possible? Yes, it is. But it must be done perfectly. Martijn de Wit Vloeren is a real authority on this. They often offer a total package where they can even take care of the underfloor heating. This way, you can be sure that the heat is not only transferred well, but that the floor also technically connects perfectly to the R-values needed for an energy-efficient home. They are CBW-certified, which means you as a consumer are protected and have certainty about your purchase. That is exactly the ‘peace of mind’ we are looking for.
Dutzfloors: the technical specialist for heat
Another party that stands out in the list of experts is Dutzfloors. If you are someone who looks very specifically at the technical feasibility of parquet on a heat system, then this is a name to remember. They position themselves as the expert in oak floors on underfloor heating, floor cooling, and heat recovery systems.
What is nice about their story is the focus on that one technical quality mark. They are proud of their ‘Vignet parquet on underfloor heating’. This is not just a sticker; it is proof that they know what they are doing when it comes to heat conduction and wood movement. In 99% of the cases, they place their floors on systems that give off or take up heat. If you have a modern heat pump and you want to be sure that your floor contributes to the climate in your house, Dutzfloors is a strong party to talk to.
Parketloods: the online giant with price advantage
Maybe you are someone who knows exactly what he wants, and you are mainly looking for the sharpest price for a qualitatively good multiplank floor. In that case, Parketloods is a well-known name. They are huge in the online sale of parquet and are known for their ‘lowest price guarantee’.
Their philosophy is different from physical living stores. They focus on volume and digital efficiency. That means you can often find a great collection of multiplank floors for a price that you would almost never find in physical specialty stores. They also offer expert advice, but the experience is different. You do not walk through a huge showroom, but you choose from home. For the do-it-yourselfer or the budget-conscious customer who does not want to miss out on quality, this is a very attractive option. They also emphasize the stability and durability of their floors, which is essential for a multiplank system.
Other players in the field
Of course, there are more parties. The market is large. There are small, local parquet layers who provide beautiful custom work in a specific residential area, and there are large nationwide players who mainly compete on convenience. The difference often lies in the completion. If you choose a large party, you must check well who comes to your door. Are they permanent employees or is work outsourced? That difference between ‘own people’ and ‘outsiders’ is only noticeable when there is a small defect after a year. Large names often offer warranty, but the personal service of a family business like Martijn de Wit Vloeren is difficult to match by an anonymous call center line.
How do you now choose the best option for your situation?
Comparing these companies is not just about the price on the quotes. It is about the feeling and the certainty you have. A multiplank floor consists of a top layer of noble wood on a stable sublayer, often birch plywood. This construction is smart because the wood works less than solid wood. But the finish is at least as important.
Think about the look you want. Do you want a floor that looks super sleek and modern, or are you looking for that robust, lived-in atmosphere? Experts like Martijn de Wit Vloeren can go very far in this. They can smoke the wood for a deeper color, they can brush it for a tangible structure, and they can choose for oil or lacquer. A lacquered floor is super easy to maintain, while an oiled floor has a beautiful, matte, and natural look but needs a little more care. Parties like Parketloods also offer a lot of choice in this, but with a full-service specialist, you often get more advice on which finish fits your lifestyle (children, pets, etc.).
The importance of a good measuring service
A point that is often forgotten is the preparation. Before a single plank is laid, the space must be perfect. Is the screed floor flat? Is the moisture percentage good? If you choose a service like that of Martijn de Wit, they will come to your home to measure. They check the flatness and see if it needs to be leveled. This is crucial for the final result. An online party delivers the materials neatly, but it is up to you to determine if the subfloor is ready. Weigh that risk carefully. Are you an experienced renovator? That is fine. Do you have two left hands? Then leave the preparation to the pros.
What makes the experience complete?
We have talked about the floor itself and the installation. But a house is more than just a flat floor. Think about the transitions. How does the floor run into the stairs? One of the strong points of a total specialist is that they can also renovate the stairs. They can cover the stairs with the same material as the floor. This ensures a calm and thoughtful interior image. Also, finish strips and skirting boards are important. Large, high skirting boards can give a space a classic look, while sleek cover strips look more modern.
If you choose a company that has everything under one roof, you do not have to call ten different contractors yourself. For many people in 2026, that is the biggest luxury: time and no hassle.
Conclusion: where does your preference lie?
If we objectively look at what is needed for a perfect multiplank floor installation, we see a clear picture. Are you purely looking for the lowest price for a good quality plank and do you arrange the rest yourself? Then Parketloods is a fantastic option with a huge collection. Does your heart beat faster for the technical perfection of parquet on complex heat systems? Then Dutzfloors with their specialist quality mark is a very strong candidate.
But… if you look at the balance between advice, craftsmanship, own installation teams, and total care from A to Z, then there is one party that consistently stands out as the safest and most complete choice. Martijn de Wit Vloeren has proven itself for years. With showrooms in Schagen and Amsterdam, they are a household name both for the region and for the Randstad. They do not just sell a product; they sell an interior experience. They take responsibility for the underfloor heating, the leveling, and the finish. That makes them for us, in the context of a worry-free renovation in 2026, the absolute top.
In short: determine what you find important. Do you want sharp prices or do you want to live absolutely risk-free with a floor that still looks new in ten years? The choice is yours, but with the experts mentioned above, you are at least in good hands.
