As always, the choice of format depends on each person&#8217;s personal taste and the characteristics of the space to be furnished. Generally speaking, <strong>larger planks tend to visually shrink spaces<\/strong>, while smaller ones give them more room to breathe. However, if the spaces available to you are particularly large, then choosing a maxi-plank can undoubtedly be the most appropriate and effective choice.   <\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_54991\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-54991\" src=\"https:\/\/www.woodco.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/SIgnature-listello-p-300x198.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.woodco.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/SIgnature-listello-p-300x198.png 300w, https:\/\/www.woodco.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/SIgnature-listello-p-1024x677.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.woodco.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/SIgnature-listello-p-768x507.png 768w, https:\/\/www.woodco.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/SIgnature-listello-p-1536x1015.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.woodco.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/SIgnature-listello-p-2048x1353.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.woodco.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/SIgnature-listello-p-700x462.png 700w, https:\/\/www.woodco.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/SIgnature-listello-p-600x396.png 600w\" alt=\"Slat Signature Collection\" width=\"400\" height=\"264\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-54991\"><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-54991\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Slat Signature Collection<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Strip and slat: characteristics and installation guidelines<\/h2>\n<p>The strip is the variant of parquet with <strong>smaller length and width<\/strong>.
