Philosophy & Quality
Our experience forms the basis for this and unites with the incentive to permanently further develop our know-how in all relevant segments. The broad-based expertise is reflected in the large product portfolio, from decors with a stone look via noble textile materials to classic wooden floors. The Parador portfolio is with its approx. 2,000 products as diverse as man himself. Within the different floor variants, our customers can choose between individual price and performance levels, because Parador offers quality with a system that can respond to a large number of individual wishes and ideas. The added value for our floors lies not only in the choice, the sustainable production and in the excellent design, but also in the intelligent functionality of our products. Click joints make it easy to lay your floor, processing and finishing techniques create durability and wear resistance at the highest level. Unique accessories – e.g. our large selection of matching plinths – proves our high quality standards right down to the last detail. Quality with a system – a demand that our customers can sense in all our products.

PEFC™
As an internationally recognized certification system, PEFC ™ ("Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification") commits itself to environmentally friendly, socially and economically sustainable forestry. The focus is on protection of biodiversity, forest health, care and restoration.

FSC™
FSC ™ ("Forest Stewardship Council") is a globally valid certification system for forestry. The certification carried out by the non-profit member organisation, which was founded in 1993, covers the main areas of environment, social conditions and economy. The goal is that our forests can meet future needs - without putting future generations at a disadvantage.

The Blue Angel
"Der Blaue Engel" is the world's first and oldest environmental protection-related labeling for products and services. It has existed since 1978 and is awarded today by the German Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of the Environment, RAL GmbH and the "Jury Umweltzeichen".

TÜV Rheinland
TÜV Rheinland AG is an internationally operating, independent service provider of tests and certifications in Cologne. TÜV's control mark is supplemented with a special ID number, which is publicly available on the company's website and contains details of the certification in question. Thus, you can e.g. under control number 00000 39917 read about floors from Parador, which ranges have been tested and approved with which certificates for quality, manufacturing and functionality.

LGA quality certificate
The "LGA tested Quality" certificate is awarded by TÜV Rheinland. It documents that a product has been tested and approved for its comprehensive and ongoing quality and that its safety has been monitored. The certificate ›LGA tested‹ refers to the testing of a product with a view to specific product properties. Thus, e.g. documents the "LGA schadstoffgeprüft" certificate, that a product has a particularly low emission level.

Institut Bauen und Umwelt eV
Together with EPLF, the association of European laminate flooring manufacturers, Parador engages with the Institut für Bauen und Umwelt eV (IBU) for more sustainability in the construction sector. The collaboration between EPLF and IBU has, in the case of laminate floors, come about within the framework of EPDs ("environmental product declarations"). An EPD is a declaration of the ecological properties of building products and is a tool for architects and planners to assess the sustainability of buildings.

Real Wood
A floor covering bearing this quality mark is guaranteed to be genuine wood. This is guaranteed by "The European Federation of the Parquet Industry" (FEP). The organization officially introduced the Common European Trademark on 1 August 2006 to "facilitate the identification of original products".

Émissions dans l'air intérieur
Since January 1, 2012, construction products and furnishing and equipment materials that were new to the French market had to be classified and labeled for their emissions. This is required by "Décret n° 2011-321", which was published on 25 March 2011. Here, category A+, which for example elastic floor coverings in the Eco balance PUR series falls under, corresponds to a location with the lowest emission.

M1 Emission class for building material
All materials – even wood – have some form of emission. The emission classification for building materials indicates the emission requirements for the materials used, taking into account a good quality of the indoor air. Here it says class M1, which e.g. Eco Balance PUR is awarded for low emissions. Products in class M1 are preferred by many constructors, architects and planning engineers when choosing materials for their projects.
