NAROWOOD LIFE
This three-layer wooden floor is suitable both to flats and to offices, depending on the choice of suitable tree species (Hevea, Doussie, Merbau, Teak, Panga Panga).
Lock - Uniclic shows most precise processing, it is provided with a layer of paraffin, which es the locking of the lamella easier – simpler laying. The paraffin layer solved the today known problem of most wooden locking floor manufacturers, which is squeaking during walking. Step on layer glued from four sides - perfectly resistant against penetration of water from face joints into lamellas. The step on layer has exact clean processing of face joints, gluying is not allowed (all of the competitors commonly glue the face joints of three-layer floors. Middle layer - is made of hard wood - Hevey, which is distinctly harder than spruce. Thanks to its great stability in temperature and humidity changes, it is much more stable on floor heating than the common competitors with spruce middle layer. Plate against pulling - is provided with one layer of UV lacquer. This layer increases resistance against penetration of humidity from the underlying layer.
1. Before laying prepare: PE foil, sticky tape, substrate cork noise insulation in rolls, folding rule, pencil, keyhole saw, reciprocal hand saw with open handle, hammer, square hollow gouge, square draw stick and opening bits. Parts have to be laid in the direction of light rays (Exception: if you lay the floor on the surface of an old floor, always lay the floor perpendicularly to the old floor). it is ideal to start with laying at the wall, in which the doors are. For rooms whose length or width is over 8 meters we recommend to create a prolonged spot, which will be the base of a system of guide lines. 2. Simply unroll the roll of cork as substrate noise insulation onto the prepared foundation (use PE foil with mineral foundation and glue the edges to the floor using sticky tape) and firmly close the permeable places. 3. Before starting laying shorten all wooden door frames and doors in the room, where the parquet floor should be laid by the thickness of the NAROWOOD LIFE floor and the thickness of the cork in rolls. 4. tart laying in the right corner of the room and place the first part in such way, that the rabbet points to the wall. Cut lengthwise rabbets of all first line parts to get them to the level. Use hammer and chock to press the parts together at the front side. After laying use opening bits to get the parts exactly linear. Distance from wall and all building parts must be 10 mm at the minimum (for larger rooms it must be minimum of 1.5 mm per one meter of room width.). 5. Then start the second row in the place of the last part of the previous row. It shouldn’t be shorter than 50 cm. Overlap created this way is necessary to stabilize the surface. Place the first part so that it is turned by the latchet to the rabbet of the parts of the previous row. Then press this part by hand and at the same time tap on the joints using the NAROWOOD LIFE baulk on the end of the floor laid. By tapping using this baulk you help the best closing of the parts joints. 6. Continue in the same way as described above and move the front joint of this part to the first part of this row. If only one person is laying the floor, you can evade damage of the front joint by connecting the first two parts with a 20 cm overlap and then tap using hammer through baulk on the next part. 7. Fix the last row by placing the corresponding part in line with the last row laid. Now draw in pencil using another part onto the part, which should now be laid according to the template, the shape of the wall. 8. Then place the parts cut to the exact size into the last row laid. Press the front parts together using the NAROWOOD LIFE baulk and hammer. The last part of this last row is pressed to the previous part using a draw stick. Now remove the opening bits at the wall. 9. Perfect execution of your work: pedestals, transitional parts, repaired places, central heating tube covers, sliders on table and chair legs are important details. Your specialized reseller will be glad to advise you and has a wide choice in stock. 10. Apart from the way of use the length of service life of your NAROWOOD LIFE floor depends on cleanliness and care. Thus use suitable products and keep the manufacturers instructions printed on the material packing. Don’t use aggressive products or products containing solvents and glycerine. Place protective mat under swivel chair. Never clean your NAROWOOD LIFE parquet floor using wet rag, use only damp cloth. Two final tips: 11. Near the central heating pipes dismount the part adjacent to them, drill holes, apply glue to this part and again lay it on the proper place. Then cover with the central heating pipe cover. 12. When laying the last row of parts under door frames, remove the lock protrusion of the part placed in the previous row by a square hollow gouge. Then apply some glue and insert the last row of parts into the rabbet in the previous row.
NAROWOOD LIFE is ideal wooden parquet floor for your entire home. NAROWOOD LIFE is easily laid without using glue. In case of necessity could the NAROWOOD LIFE floor be easily dismounted and comfortably laid again in the same way as for the first time. If the recommendations are kept, you will be satisfied with your NAROWOOD LIFE parquet floor for years – even if the floor is subjected to heavy traffic. Please keep these recommendations before laying the floor: The NAROWOOD LIFE floor is generally meant for a floating way of laying. We recommend to lay it onto cork substrate noise insulation supplied in rolls. The foundation itself must be clean, dry, flat and also resistant against change of size and pressure as described in the DIN 18356 and 18202 standards. A suitable foundation are for example all types of stone, particleboards, old floors made of parts, PVC floors, if the basic conditions are met. The NAROWOOD LIFE floor isn’t suitable as a self-supporting floor. Laying on hydronic floor heating is possible if the regulations concerning heating protocol are met. Because of the wood-processing technology, the tree species Beech, Maple and Kempas aren’t suitable for this case. Laying onto electric floor heating is not generally permitted. For mineral foundation layers (it is especially important in new buildings) has the moisture content to be measured before laying the floor. (concrete floors max. 2.0% CM, anhydrite floors max. 0.5% CM of residual moisture content. For hydronic floor heating: concrete floors max. 1.8% CM and anhydrite floors max. 0.3% CM). PE foil minimum 0.2 mm thick must be laid on all mineral foundation layers as seal against vapours and protection against moisture. The foil should have minimum 20 cm overlap and must be glued at joints. Unevenness of stone and concrete floors must be flattened out using suitable fillings. Particleboard or wooden floors must be flattened out by grinding, if necessary. Old floors made from parts mustn’t have sagging and screws must be tightened if necessary. Until the last moment before executing the laying leave the NAROWOOD LIFE floor parts in original packaging laying flat and in temperature 20-22°C and relative humidity 50-60% for 48 hours to acclimatize them. Please open the packages only to execute the laying and to mix parts from several packages. Thoroughly check the parts for damage that could happen during transport before laying. Material already laid as floor couldn’t be exchanged. Differences in colour and structure are caused by the characteristics of the material and thus are no base for returning. Exposing to direct sunlight could lead to bleaching and change of colour as with many natural products. Offcuts are considered according to the size and shape of the room, but generally they are around 5%. After the floor is laid, please keep the following: Service life of the NAROWOOD LIFE parquet floor in the end depends on the way of using it, cleaning and care. The surface of a lacquered floor has to be cleaned before use with a suitable product for parquet maintenance (for oil impregnated surfaces, please keep the special maintenance instructions). Depending on the way of use, the floor must be regularly cleaned using suitable cleaning and maintenance products: keep the instructions printed on the material package. Don’t use aggressive products or products containing solvents and glycerine. Especially when overdosed, these products could damage the lacquer surface and make the following sealing impossible. Never clean parquet floor using wet rag, use only damp cloth. We recommend using a felt doormat or dirt absorbing carpet in the entrance part of the room. Please pay attention so that water isn’t cumulating under these mats. Provide the table and chair legs with felt sliding pads. NAROWOOD LIFE parquet floor is a natural floor material, which reacts to climate. You should thus always provide stable and pleasant climate, also for your good. Relative humidity 50-60% and room temperature 20-22°C is ideal. During heating season, the air in the room gets extremely dry. To get stable air humidity in the room, it is necessary to place containers with water on heaters and air humidifiers into large rooms. If the humidity of the air in the room increases during summer and autumn, the room must be well ventilated. if the air in the room is too dry, the wood could shrink in the joints and if the air in the room is too humid, the wood in joints could increase its volume. The manufacturer bears no liability in this case. If we expose the floor to direct sunlight, it could cause bleaching and change of colour as with any natural material. Note: For hydronic floor heating, the temperature at any part of the parquet floor mustn’t get higher than 27°C with room temperature 20-22°C. The humidity of the air at the floor also mustn’t drop below 50%. We hope you will enjoy your NAROWOOD LIFE parquet floor for a long time.
