French flooring is known for its elegance and sophistication, with hardwood and tiles being the traditional materials of choice, often arranged in a parquet pattern. The intricate designs and patterns used in French flooring reflect the country’s rich history of art and design, where every detail matters. At Floer, we offer a variety of hardwood and tile options that will give your home a touch of French elegance. Our Oak Parquet Collection, especially the Herringbone Parquet, is a perfect example of French sophistication. Other collections also offer a range of styles and colours, including the stunning tile vinyl in the colour Granite Dark or a lighter shade of Tile Rigid Click Vinyl in the colour Tankenberg Loam Grey, which is a perfect reflection of French elegance. Whether you are looking to create a traditional or modern look in your home, Floer has the perfect flooring solution for you.

Moreover, our extra-large Whalebone Laminate option is produced and made in France, ensuring that we provide authentic French products to our customers!

Germany – The Art of Practicality

German flooring is all about practicality and efficiency. Durable and easy-to-maintain materials like laminate, vinyl, and linoleum are popular choices. The German culture values functionality and cost-effectiveness, and these materials fit perfectly into their way of life. Floer understands this and offers the best quality laminate and vinyl flooring options that will ensure your home is as efficient as it is beautiful.

Consider the laminate collection, which is available in numerous colours, including the stunning City Laminate – Weesp White Beige Oak and the cozy Authentic Laminate – Natural Oiled Oak. This collection also includes a wider board collection called Country House, which adds an extra touch of elegance to your home.

For a more authentic feel, the Dryback Vinyl collection is the perfect choice. It includes the wider Village Vinyl in a range of attractive colours, as well as the Forest Vinyl collection in lighter and darker shades. Both collections also offer patterns of Herringbone or wider Whalebone solutions, such as the popular Cream Oak Herringbone Vinyl or the Bultrug Brown Whalebone Laminate. With Floer, you can be sure to find the perfect German-style flooring that suits your lifestyle and preferences. And with many flooring options produced in Germany, you can trust that you’re getting the most authentic and high-quality product for your home!

Marble is a favorite material due to its luxurious and sophisticated appearance, and the intricate patterns and designs used are a testament to Italy’s rich history of art and architecture. At Floer, we offer exquisite marble vinyl tiles that will give your home the grand entrance it deserves.

Our Tile Vinyl collection features Marble Light Grey and Limestone White colours, adding a touch of Italian elegance to any space.

How Cultural Differences Shape European Flooring?

The cultural differences between each European country’s flooring choices are fascinating. In France and Italy, aesthetics, such as art, design, and elegance, are highly valued, and this is reflected in the intricate patterns and designs of their flooring. In contrast, German culture emphasises practicality and efficiency, so durable, easy-to-maintain materials are preferred. However, Spain is all about boldness and vibrancy. From the flamenco to the tiles on their floor, Spanish culture is all about lively colours and striking patterns. The use of colourful and decorative ceramic tiles is a reflection of this cultural value.
