Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document provides detailed information on the characteristics, maintenance, and finishing options for African Mahogany flooring, specifically focusing on the Weathered Silvergrey finish. It highlights the natural variations in wood and the impact of environmental factors on the appearance of the flooring over time.

Specifications
The flooring is made from African Mahogany, sourced from responsibly managed forests in Western Africa. It features a natural unfinished surface that develops a low-maintenance patina when exposed to outdoor conditions. The flooring is available in solid form with a thickness of 19.5 +/- 0.5 mm.

Maintenance and Repair
The natural patina requires minimal maintenance, primarily involving cleaning with water and the Deckfresh finish to protect against algae. Surface damage can be repaired with sanding, as the wood naturally weathers to grey when exposed to the elements.

Finishing Options
The document discusses the benefits of pre-finishing floors in the mill, particularly for engineered 2-layered floors, which offer stability and ease of installation. Solid floors may experience slight movement due to climate changes, which is considered part of their authentic look. Finishing options include Hardwax and Natural Oil finishes, which allow the wood to breathe and develop a natural patina, and lacquered finishes (Poly), which provide a more traditional, durable protection.

Climate Considerations
Wood floors may react to changes in humidity and temperature. To minimize movement, it is recommended to maintain relative humidity between 40-60% and room temperatures between 17-23 degrees Celsius. Floor heating should not exceed a surface temperature of 27 degrees Celsius.

Conclusion
The document emphasizes the importance of choosing the right finishing method based on personal preferences and maintenance capabilities. It also highlights the need for climate control to maintain the floor's appearance and performance over time.

As wood is a natural material, variations in colour and grain occur. Floors may also change in appearance over time through exposure to light, wear and tear, and maintenance. Pre-finishing of solid floors may be subject to stricter recommendations for limited board dimensions and climate control. Read further on the next page.

Solid or Engineered? The option to have your floor ‘pre-finished’ in our mill offers great convenience during the installation process. We unreservedly recommend our pre-finishing solution for any of our Engineered 2-layered floors which offer great stability and convenience during installation. However, beauty is not always about convenience. Would you prefer a traditionally milled Solid floor over an Engineered floor? Then it’s important to realize that, due to the impact of climate, a small amount of movement may occur in the boards. We recognize that small natural imperfections like these...
