WOOD PROPERTIES 1.1 HYGROSCOPIC PROPERTIES OF THE WOOD Relative ambient humidity must be maintained between 45% and 65%. As a consequence of the hygroscopic nature of wood, variations in its dimensions caused by the surrounding ambient conditions are considered normal. Low humidity conditions may generate 1.2 VARIATIONS IN COLOUR AND GRAIN Each species of wood offers a unique range of colours, grains and textures depending on its inherent properties. The differences in grain that may exist from board to board are random variations resulting from a live and 100% natural product. 1.3...

A FREQUENTLY-ASKED QUESTION 7 Is the use of solid woodflooring recommended with radiant underfloor heating? It is absolutely recommended and, although wood is a thermal insulator, once saturation temperature is reached, wood flooring regulates the output of heat very well and homogeneously, even better than ceramic floors. MODE OF USE The positioning system on floors with RADIANT UNDERFLOOR HEATING corresponds to the direct gluing to screed system (see the direct gluing to screed positioning system on the next page). RECOMMENDATIONS ■ For correct installation of wood flooring on this type...

If this operation is carried out and the wood shrinks for any reason (especially as a result of heating), the boards will start to pull away from each other until a block is pulling away from another block. Ihis may lead to a crack appearing in the weakest flooring of the two blocks. This is a cumulative shrinking effect. It is very important to start from the wall in a straight line. If the wall does not make an exact right angle, it will be necessary to add supplement wedges to align the first row of boards. Alignment must be re-checked every two rows with a 2m aluminium ruler. To lay the...

AMBIENT HUMIDITY Once the flooring has been installed, the relative humidity of the air in the premises must be kept between 45% and 65%. The controlled opening of windows is necessary for airing the premises and maintaining the hygroscopic conditions of the wood. MAINTENANCE PROTOCOLS After installation, following some basic maintenance procedures is recommended in order for the wood flooring to maintain its initial properties of natural beauty. You will find on our website the protocols for carrying out optimal maintenance of your varnished and/or oiled wood flooring. Download them now...
