In Upofloor wood flooring a strong cross-glued three-layer structure is used. The top layer is solid wear-and-tear-resistant hardwood. Because of the three-layer structure, the maximum benefit is derived from the hardwood, and the flooring will maintain its form and strength for decades without the need for frequent refurbishing. The raw materials used for wood flooring have a long useful life thereby conserving natural resources and the environment.
The top layer of Upofloor wood flooring can be sanded a number of times. After refinishing, the surface will be like new. This process of resanding and refinishing extends the lifespan of Upofloor hardwood flooring and provides an enduringly beautiful floor.
Raw material used for manufacturing Upofloor hardwood flooring is free from impregnating substances and other chemicals. Suppliers of raw materials are carefully monitored in accordance with ISO 9001 quality system requirements. Comprehensive inspections and verifications ensure the cleanliness and purity of the raw materials used.
Formaldehyde emissions of Upofloor hardwood flooring fall well within E1-norm requirements.
For pre-finishing Upofloor wood flooring, either odourless and solvent-free UV lacquer or linseed-based wood oil is used. UV hardened acrylic lacquer forms a tight and crack-free surface on the top layer preventing wood dust spreading into the air of the room. The air remains fresh and clean and the satin matt lacquer enhances the vivid grain pattern of the timber. UV lacquer and wood oil do not contain environmentally hazardous substances, such as heavy metal, arsenic or chlorine compounds.
