Has anyone used Parma Laminate Floor?

10 years ago

Hi all,

I've been debating between laminate and engineered wood. I'm leaning toward laminate because it's more scratch resistant and cheaper in cost and labor. I found some Parma Laminate floor at a local dealer and really like how the sample looks. Has anyone used it or heard of it? I plan to use laminate for the entire home except kitchen and bath. The price ranges from $2-$2.50 which is on the higher end for laminate. For this price I could get Pergo which is highly rated by consumers but unfortunately I can't find a color I like at Lowes.

The model I like is called Oak Lion - AC5, 6'x8" per plank (see link). Sample looks pretty but I'm not sure about the quality consistency by this company Parma. (They have 2 product lines - Parma Swiss and Parma China. Swiss series look a lot nicer stylewise.)

I couldn't find much review on the internet and am hoping that someone here knows something about it. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated! :)[https://www.houzz.com/products/oak-lion-prvw-vr~45825040[(https://www.houzz.com/products/oak-lion-prvw-vr~45825040)

In June 2015 my contractor installed “Parma Quality Laminate”, at a cost of $9,300.00 for 1800 Sq ft. This is the worst floor laminate in the world! Even before we moved into the house I found it picking upon the middle of the living room. i made it clear that I needed a durable laminate, and good looking (Red Oak), and my contractor assured me it was. And since it’s been installed it’s constant problems, every time I turn around it’s picking up somewhere.

I need to get this floor out of here, I’m done, 9300.00 down the drain and a contractor who’s not standing behind the cheap crap he put in my house, and now we’ll have to seek legal action, so this floor cost way more than it should have.

And when I call the Company, they pass me around and then know nothing!

Don‘t buy Parma!!

Which floor did you end up installing? I'm having the same dilemma between Parma and Pergo! I found the color that I really like in Parma collection but can't find anyone's feedback on its quality.

I am thinking of going with the Lintel Parma in the Milano collection. Looks great.

Hi, I am sorry to hear about your experience. However, Parma Floors and Parma Quality Laminate are two completely different companies. We are based in California and Parma Quality Laminate is based on the East Coast. I can assure you that we source our products from some of the highest regulated factories and we import directly from Europe.
