Technical Specification
Mosaic parquet is made from solid wood lamella pieces 8 mm thick. All of the individual pieces are assembled into square blocks or ladder formation. One unit consists of several blocks which are held underside with a scrim. This technology makes the laying much easier and faster and fit to most structural requirements. The lively appearance of the floor reveals its own charm and design.
Thickness: 8 mm Width: 22.8 mm Length: 160 mm
Block size: 8mm x 320mm x 480mm
Solid Strips (T&G)
Strip parquet is made up piece by piece from individual wood blocks, using a tongue- and- groove joints system. It is available in many wood types and can be laid in different shapes.
Dimensions of parquet:
• thickness: 14 mm, 15 mm, 16 mm, 18mm, 20mm, 22 mm
• width: 70 - 120 mm
• length: 300 - 500 mm, 500 – 1200 mm, 800-1500mm
Industrial parquet
This parquet flooring is made of solid wood lamella laid side by side in an upright structure. It is designed to withstand the toughest loads. All of the segments are laid alongside each other following the direction of the entire room. Ideal for use in commercial or public buildings and in private dwellings.
Sizes:
10x8x160mm / 14x8x160mm / 23x8x160mm / 10x10x250mm / 10x23x300mm /14x23x300mm
Lamparquet
It is very strong and durable parquet. It is made up from solid wood blocks without tongue and-groove slots on four sides. Today it is used by architects and decorators in order to create stylish home designs.
Thickness: 10 mm Width: 50/60 mm Length: 250/300 mm
Brinell Scale
As well as an individual look, each species of wood has a different level of hardness. This can help determine which type of timber is best suited to the function of a room. Certain 'high traffic areas', like hallways and kitchens, demand a harder species of wood.
The hardness of wood is measured using the Brinell test - a simple, yet precise procedure, developed by the Swedish engineer, Johan August Brinell. The test is carried out by pressing a 10mm steel ball against the surface of the wood, with a prescribed force and duration. The indentation this leaves is then measured, and the Brinell value is calculated. The value is determined by the size of the indention made in the wood - the harder the wood, the higher the Brinell value.
