Used for creating wooden floors and furnishings already in the royal and noble residences<\/a><\/strong> of past centuries, walnut parquet<\/strong> is especially known in its two major varieties, namely European walnut<\/strong> or national walnut<\/strong> and American walnut<\/strong>, also known as canaletto walnut<\/strong>. Their respective scientific names are Juglans Regia<\/strong> and Juglans Nigra<\/strong>, and Juglans means Jupiter’s acorn: besides the idea of nobility, walnut is linked to deities and is present in Greek mythology as the tree of wisdom. <\/p>\n

Versatility: the second name of walnut parquet<\/h2>\n

Both national and American walnut share the characteristic of versatility<\/strong>. That is: walnut wood floors are distinguished by their sobriety and elegance and their classic and austere touch<\/strong>, yet they can successfully adapt to a wide range of environments. <\/p>\n

You can notice this by taking a look at the Woodco catalog and our previous dedicated posts<\/a>: Signature boards<\/strong> stand out whether paired with country furniture<\/strong> or, instead, combined with spaces and complements with a more contemporary, urban<\/strong> look and predominantly light shades<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"European<\/p>\n

Common traits of European and American walnut parquet<\/h2>\n

Both American and European walnut have a medium degree of hardness and stability<\/strong>, which means that parquet made from these wood varieties is less affected by temperature fluctuations and humidity<\/a>. This is an important aspect as it allows walnut boards to be installed without issues \u2013 with either floating<\/strong> <\/a>or glued installation \u2013 even in an elegant bathroom or a rustic kitchen.
\n On the other hand, there are peculiarities and properties that differentiate the two families.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Walnut parquet: differences between American and European wood<\/h2>\n

The disparities between the two types of walnut parquet emerge especially when considering the choice of color<\/strong>, a decisive element for matching with furniture and related accessories. If your goal is to create a sober atmosphere<\/strong>, without sacrificing a touch of creativity<\/strong>, the right product for you is national walnut<\/strong>. It is widely used also due to its multiple veins and shades<\/strong>: a palette of colors ranging from orange and honey tones to very dark tones, creating interesting and original chromatic effects<\/strong>.
\n No less valuable and appreciated for its elegance is American walnut<\/strong>. It is suitable for you if you prefer more uniform tones<\/strong> because its pronounced darker and more uniform brown color<\/strong> does not present obvious shades. It is also a successful line, gaining popularity especially in recent times. <\/p>\n

\"Walnut<\/p>\n

Woodco has the walnut parquet for you<\/h2>\n

And although it is often associated with classic furnishings if not with outright antiques, it can also effectively complement avant-garde, minimalist, or more daring<\/strong> and glamorous<\/strong> ones. Walnut essence expresses its characteristics best whether polished, more sober and elegant, or brushed. In patterned formats like herringbone, smaller than the board, the typical color variations<\/strong> of walnut essence are enhanced, creating color combinations with a sure impact. <\/p>\n

In addition to the already mentioned Signature<\/strong> collection, which features six different walnut parquet colors<\/strong>, Woodco can offer you, in combination with light walls or paneling<\/a><\/strong>, the ultra-matte boards of the Dream<\/strong><\/a> series, which includes additional walnut products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
