The ParquetFrançais.org trade association federates the French parquet industry. It brings together French manufacturers of solid and engineered parquet, as well as installers, floorers and product suppliers. By pooling resources, ParquetFrançais.org enables manufacturers to work together to optimize quality, by carrying out studies and leading actions in competitive terms: tests, impact and R&D studies, life-cycle analysis, updating of standards and DTUs, drafting of technical documentation. The union represents the French parquet industry in dealings with public authorities, the media and other industry organizations. It defends the collective interests of its members and carries out its actions independently, or as part of joint projects or events with other wood industry organizations and unions.
