Parador Beech 3‑Strip Engineered Wood Floor – Basic 11‑5
Natural engineered wood flooring with a warm beech character, modern 3‑strip design and easy click‑together installation.
The Parador Beech 3‑Strip Engineered Wood Floor from the Basic 11‑5 collection brings a bright countryside charm into your home. Each plank features a solid 2.5 mm beech wear layer treated with a durable matt lacquer to highlight the wood’s natural grain and colour play. The three‑strip format combines several narrow staves into one plank, creating an appealing ship‑deck look without the pronounced bevels found on wider planks. The result is a uniform and smooth surface that works beautifully in modern and traditional interiors.
Thanks to Parador’s Automatic‑Click system, this flooring locks together quickly without glue, making DIY installation straightforward. The slim 11.5 mm thickness and integrated swelling protection allow it to be laid over underfloor heating systems. And with a 25‑year residential guarantee (10 years for commercial use), you can enjoy peace of mind that this engineered wood will stand up to everyday life.

FAQ’s
Is this floor suitable for underfloor heating?
Yes. Parador’s Basic 11‑5 engineered beech flooring is designed for installation over low‑temperature water or electric underfloor heating systems. Its low 11.5 mm profile and swelling‑protected core help distribute heat evenly and prevent warping.
What are the plank dimensions?
Each plank measures approximately 2200 mm long, 185 mm wide and 11.5 mm thick. The wear layer of real beech is about 2.5 mm thick.
How does the Automatic‑Click system work?
The Automatic‑Click system uses precision‑milled tongues and grooves that snap together when angled into place. This allows for fast, floating installation without adhesives and helps ensure tight, gap‑free joints.
Does the floor have bevels?
No. The three‑strip design features a uniform surface without bevels for a seamless look. This gives the impression of a continuous, smooth floor.
What type of finish does it have?
The planks are finished with a matt lacquer that enhances the natural colour of the beech and provides a hard‑wearing protective layer.
How do I maintain this flooring?
Regularly sweep or vacuum to remove dust and grit. Clean with a damp (not wet) microfibre mop and a cleaner formulated for lacquered wood floors. Avoid excessive moisture and always wipe up spills promptly.
What is covered by the guarantee?
Parador provides a 25‑year guarantee for residential installations and a 10‑year guarantee for commercial use. The warranty covers manufacturing defects, delamination and structural integrity under normal use and proper installation.
