boat deckbrushedsmooth

Unique collection of pre-finished parquet, which gives an alternative look - thanks to the large cracks and knots that make it suitable for both rustic as well as modern and minimal environments. The 1860x189 mm format planks, at 14 mm thickness, are suitable for floating or glued installation. Pre-finished, two-layer parquet flooring. Comes with on-trend rustic finishes with cracks and knots. Painted with 5 coats of 10% gloss acrylic paint and brushed with medium brushing. Presence of cut staves possible, up to 25% of the contents of each package. Before laying, it is necessary to check that the subfloor is smooth, flat, solid and dry. Glued installation is mandatory if laying on a heated subfloor in order to optimize its thermal transmission (minimum heat dispersion) without creating air bubbles between screed and parquet due to gluing. With a spreader of type recommended by adhesive manufacturer, a suitable adhesive such as two-component, polyurethane or silane glue etc is spread on the subfloor. Following appropriate processing, this creates what are known as "adhesion lines" so as to allow good contact - at least 70% - between the adhesive itself and the subfloor. It is essential that the glue is spread evenly; excess or insufficient glue can compromise correct installation. Floating installation creates a single floor surface simply resting on the subfloor. It is made with pre-finished parquet staves fitted with tongue/groove interlock joints, glued together with vinyl adhesive. A vapour barrier is placed between the floor and the parquet in order to block any rising damp, as well as an additional mat to correct any flaws in the subfloor.
