Timber flooring is made from prefinished boards, which have been sanded down, oiled or varnished.

Prefinished and natural
Timber flooring is made from prefinished boards, which have been sanded down, oiled or varnished. Two or three different layers of floorboards are overlaid on each other. Here, several layers of Fiemme 3000 have been glued together using non-toxic vinyl adhesives. Solid timber boards have to be at least 2,5 mm thick. 

 
Glued floorboards or floating floorboards

Laying the floor down: glued or floating? 
Glued floorboards are permanent, secure and have a deeper sound. Floating floorboards, namely dry-pressed floorboards do not require adhesives. However, you’ll need to overlay at least three layers of solid timber floorboards to form a solid structure. The Pangea series by Salis in inspired by old-time floor style. 

 
Manufacturing techniques: sanded down, brushed, planed, bevelled, lived-in or worm-eaten.

Manufacturing techniques
Sanded down for a simple flat surface, brushed for a more rustic effect, shaved with a plane for unique wavy effects, weather-beaten, worm-eaten or with bevelled corners... each manufacturing technique has a different feel. Vintage Oak by Gazzotti brushed and oil-effect finish. 

 

 

 
Varnished or oiled timber

Varnished or oiled?
Varnish is a protective waterproof film, but it wears out and you have to sanded it down before applying a new coat. Natural oil and wax need to be applied more than once in order to impregnate the wood, but they are stain-resistant if applied properly. Unique Intarsi by Salis.
