Care of the lacquered parquet
(Source: Finnish Floor Covering Association)
Remove sand and dust from the floor with a vacuum cleaner or brush. If necessary, wipe the floor with a well-wrung cloth or mop. Use lukewarm water, to which can be added a detergent intended for floor cleaning, and follow the directions for use of the detergent. The use of strong detergents is to be avoided. Wax or polishes containing wax must not be used.

Floor repairs
In case the floor surface is worn or scratched after use, it can be re-sanded and varnished or oiled again.
Precise product description
Three layer structure
All of the components of 14 mm thick ParlaFix parquet board are real wood. Parquet board is composed of three mutually supporting layers. The construction is developed durable and particularly in a way to counteract warping. The dimensional stability of ParlaFix parquet board is improved also by contolling the moisture characteristics optimally in the manufacturing process.
The hardwood surface of Parla-parquet mainly highlights the natural beauty of wood and its outstanding and individualistic design. The surface layer determines in many respect durability and life span of the parquet floor. The middle and bottom layers are made from selected Nordic softwood. In the north wood grows slowly and sturdily which makes wood good quality and strong. The grain in the middle layer of the parquet board is vertical improving the parquet´s durability and preventing shape changes. Bottom layer of spruce veneer gives support to the entire structure. Skilfully made parquet does not warp or bend.

Ash
For centuries already, joiners and artisans have made use of the beauty of ash-wood and its excellent wear resistance and dressing properties. Ash is ornamental and splendid as an interior design element, full of different hues and patterns. The waviness characteristic of its structure is at its best when presented as large surfaces and this is what makes it such a desirable flooring material, irrespective of the design style applied. The sapwood of ash is thick and nearly white. With increasing age, ash develops a distinct heartwood zone, which stands out sharply coloured grey, brownish or olive. A floor made of ash may slightly darken with time. Our ash originates mainly from Croatia and Slovakia.

Surface treatment
A surface treatment brings out the unique beauty of the wood. The surface treatment highlights the natural beauty of timber, and is bound to the surface of the floorboards. The surface treatment makes the floor durable, and easy to clean. The surface of the floorboards has been treated six (6) times, with an efficient and safe varnish. This varnish has innovative and unique characteristics, due to its AntiScratch and antimicrobial features. The AntiScratch feature protects the surface of the floorboards from scratches. Thanks to the antimicrobial feature, bacteria and other harmful microbes cannot use the floorboards as a breeding ground.
When choosing the surface treatment agent, we have also considered its safety and environmental impact, in addition to the traditional dirt- and moisture-resistance, and abrasion resistance. This surface treatment agent meets strict European norms, as well as the Finnish M1 norms (highest category) of the emission classification for building materials.
The gloss level of matt lacquer is 10o Gardner.
