121 WOOD FLOORS AND INSTALLATION ANCIENT KNOWHOW, MODERN RULES A few simple precepts for a customised job. Wood floors are generally defined as “living” because they adapt to the climatic changes of the surrounding environment. Enjoying a parquet floor within a space requires the observance of a few simple rules that have to be taken into consideration when choosing the floor. Wood floors must be installed in suitable areas and it is necessary to ask skilled personnel to assess the conditions of the foundations, window fixtures and the general elements of structures, specifically in the case of renovation. Once installed, parquet must be kept at a room temperature ranging from14-15°C to 30°C. Maintaining the percentage of humidity between a minimum of 45% and a maximum of 65%means guaranteeing an ideal “habitat” for your floor. Flywood® collections are different from one another due to the raw materials used and the varying conformation. Antique floors from the Londra series and the aged ones from the Dresda collection are offered in a single selection without differences in terms of appearance or class. It is not possible to determine the aesthetic levels nor select the compliance to a quality standard in terms of different sources of provisioning. When it comes to antique flooring, each slat has a different colour, a different fibre and generally every strip has a unique colour shade. The samples, slats or panels shown are to be regarded as family of products only and cannot be regarded as binding with the customer in terms of colour, thickness, shape and typology because they are not processed in series. Firenze and Praga Slim collections are processed according to the European standards specified in the catalogue and price list, and are classified according to different grades of internal decisions as Exclusive, Lounge, Business and Smart. For the laying and use of parquet on heated underfloors, it is advisable to follow a few basic rules and rely on a professional fitter. During ordinary use, it is important to consider that wood floors require a minimum contact with air both during ordinary and extraordinarymaintenance and follow themaintenance rules recommended for Flywood® floors. The use of products that have not been approved by our company may cause the deterioration of quality and the forfeiture of the warranties due to the alteration of the product. It is not advisable to perform frequent washings or maintenance operations using pure water only because it could discolour the chromatic level of the surface over time. During ordinary use, it is important to place an external doormat or barrier mat of adequate dimensions in front of the entrances. Fit special felt pads under the feet and bases of furniture and chairs to avoid streaking and damage when they are moved around. Sofas with pivoting wheels should be suitable for parquets (i.e. in soft rubber). The presence or use of particularly aggressive substances should be avoided just as the contact with acids, products containing ammonia or similar substances. For any other requirement, contact your Flywood® retailer that will give you the best advice.
