WHAT DOES YOUR DREAM FLOOR LOOK LIKE? Choosing a new floor is often a major event. It needs to be suitable for everyday use as well as for special occasions, and, not least, it needs to look good – for a long time. We believe that the most important thing is to choose a floor with an appearance that suits you and your lifestyle. That is why we have designed this wood floor magazine around appearance, everything from different patterns to wood species and colours in different rooms and situations. At the back, starting on p. 58, you will find a practical overview of our product range. And on...

GENUINE CRAFTSMANSHIP SINCE 1886 Once upon a time there was a small carpentry workshop in Malmö, Sweden which started producing solid strip parquet in oak and beech. In time, parquet fooring became a status symbol in the ever larger, exclusive apartments that were being built around the turn of the 20th century, resulting in the expansion of the company. A STEP AHEAD IN PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT. As demand increased, the company acquired forest land and sawmills in order to ensure access to raw materials. In 1938, the company introduced the socalled “Linderman board” which involved joining...

ATELIER COLLECTION Wood is a fantastic raw material. History reminds us of the importance of wood, which has provided us with practical tools, helped us cross the seven seas and given us a roof over our heads. But wood has also decorated our homes through beautiful arts and crafts items… and beautiful wooden foors! To this day we still admire the beautiful wooden foors which royalty and aristocracy had installed in their castles and mansions. But we equally admire the fantastic wooden foors, worn down by the ravages of time in peasant rooms and chambers. The expression and ambience of these...

ELEGANCE – WIDE PLANK ELEGANCE FROM NEW ATELIER COLLECTION. EXTRA WIDE PLANKS WITH AN AUTHENTIC AND NATURAL WOODEN FEEL. Elegance comes in four varieties, all featuring the calm, liveliness and dynamism of the oak tree as created by nature itself. The natural appearance has been further highlighted through a lightly brushed surface, and there are also three diferent stains in shades of white, grey and brown.

ELEGANCE is perhaps the foor that, among all our new products, best meets the requirements for design and decoration to produce an experience above the ordinary. The wooden feel is enhanced by Proteco hardwax oil, which highlights the characteristic grain in an appealing way. It is easy to apply maintenance oil to Elegance, whether it be to the entire foor surface or just individual sections. See section on maintenance on p. 53. NOT JUST BEAUTIFUL BUT ALSO SAFE! To develop and manufacture European wide planks, which are able to cope with a climate that has seasonal changes, requires both a...

Colours and shades give you the opportunity to match your foor to the decoration and ambience of your home, enabling you to put your personal stamp on it and stand out from the crowd. All varieties...

HERITAGE OAK Only a few years ago, some of the oak raw material was discarded and sold as frewood. It was simply not considered to be beautiful enough to be used for fooring. This portion of the raw material is now being regarded in a whole new way. Natural materials are in fashion and it is hardly possible to get much closer to nature than a genuinely rustic oak. MATCHING ACCESSORIES. THE FINISHING TOUCH! Wood is a living material and therefore needs an expansion gap in order to be able to move as humidity changes. Therefore, the foor should always have an expansion gap, which can easily...

Choose between six solid foors in Heritage Oak from our Atelier Collection. All have characteristically large knots, bark pockets and other “defects” caused by nature itself. The natural colour variations in the material, together with our own input involving heavy brushing and staining, result in a foor with a fantastic patina from centuries of nature. Handmade minibevels emphasize and create a really rustic and genuine feeling. The surface is treated with hardwax oil – using natural, plant-based ingredients, which further enhances the natural beauty. HERITAGE OAK BRUSHED 41007001 HERITAGE...

The trend for Vintage took the world by storm a few years ago, and it is still fashionable to mix old and new in design and in interior decoration. There is a lot of interest in things that are marked and worn by the ravages of time. Original things. Authentic things. Simple things. Worn things. In the world of fashion, Vintage refers to another era, for instance the late 1930s or 1960s. In wooden foors, Vintage combines the charm of old wooden foors with all the advantages of new foors. At Tarkett, Vintage Oak is a series of wooden foors with a beautiful patina in diferent colours and...
