FAQs

We advise that wood installed outdoors has oil in the sap, so that the wood itself will have its own protection. It is very important to give woods oil for outdoors with a solar filter.

The flooring stabilises after approximately one year from installation. It must experience a summer when the wood may crack, and a winter when the wood will surely return to its usual state.

This is not necessary. With the battens we level and offset differences in height. What is necessary is having sufficient height.

No, a mop must never be used to clean the wood. Always use a sponge or special chamois for cleaning or applying products.

Yes, especially in excessively hot climates, or in atmospheres which may be dried out by air conditioning. It is good to have a few containers with water to increase the level of humidity.

No, only use specific products for its care.

Under no circumstances.

No, depending on the type of installation and its use, a certain type of wood will be used after studying the project.

Yes, provided that installation guidelines are followed.

Yes, any wood allows staining. However, today there is no need for staining, as there is a wide range of different colours of wood. Nevertheless, staining is often used for economic reasons, as it is expensive to purchase Wenge and relatively inexpensive to stain a Wenge type Oak or Pine.

Today it is not. There is high quality flooring, very dry and without knots, which when installed are the same price as a quality floating flooring. Installing platform flooring today is not extravagant.

Always in specialised places exclusively dedicated to this material, as it is good for the seller to know the whole production process of the wood, and especially to monitor its drying.

There are many variables: the different qualities of the wood (in terms of cleaning, colour or sapwood, knots, etc.), the country of origin (if it is a country at war, if there are difficulties in export, etc.), scarcity of the wood, trends, etc.

Yes, both. The wood has a certain percentage of moisture. With head, the wood cracks, and with cold it expands. In summer, due to the heat, and in winter with heating, several containers of water should be placed to increase the level of moisture. The wood must be maintained well treated to prevent its dimensions changing due to the temperature.

There are always solutions for installing platform flooring without resorting to floating flooring. The flooring may be attached or glued, in either case without the need to use only the thickness of the flooring. Another option would be to use lamparquet.
