Krismer AG (Baden)

Our company has been successfully engaged for years in the design, consultation, sale and professional installation of flooring in wood, cork, melamine laminate, linoleum, rubber and vinyl. As well as a wide variety of coverings made of natural textiles such as virgin wool, goat hair, coconut and sisal fibers and also fiber blends. Also with synthetic hard and textile coverings for areas such as offices, double floors or sales areas. Furthermore with special coverings for outdoor areas and for building entrance concepts with dirt trapping properties.

Floor coverings in wood (parquet)

Parquets in wood are flooring options that are virtually limitless in terms of pattern variety and choice of wood. Colors, sizes and various types of surface treatment are just a few points of the wide range of species that make the use of wood as flooring attractive.

In addition, wood, as well as bamboo and cork, are natural products made from renewable raw materials, whose sustainability aspects are becoming more and more of an issue today.

The natural and warm look of wood enhances any living area.

A typical and valuable feature of parquet is that it can be sanded once or several times, depending on the wood and wear layer. This process gives parquet a new look. Thus, the purchase of parquet flooring is also an investment in the future.

Sealed or oiled

Sealing creates a protective layer of varnish which closes the pores of the wood structure and allows the flooring to be used as a largely undemanding surface. This results in advantages such as lower absorption of moisture, less cleaning effort and better scratch resistance. However, depending on the degree of use, a sealing layer requires resealing after a few years with the corresponding grinding effort.

Oiled finished parquets, oxidative or UV-cured brands are on the market with individual advantages or disadvantages, depending on the application or usage requirements. The main difference between an oiled parquet surface and a lacquer finish is the fact that the wood is treated with oil or optionally with an oil-wax mixture. This is more like impregnation as oil penetrates into the wood structure. This type of wood finish must be repeated in time-recurring intervals. However, with this type of treatment, wood grain and growth structures become much more visible, so that the material wood is more natural than with a sealant.

Floating installation: Here, the parquet is laid floating on an impact sound carpet pad, this is particularly indicated in renovation construction, since different types of subfloors, minor floor unevenness or coarse structures play no or a negligible role.

Full-surface bonding: is certainly the most widely used method of installation, as it offers clear advantages in terms of intimate connection to the substrate (floor heating) and possibly more favorable room sound conditions.

**Parquet

A product with many faces and with a wide range of applications. It is always an imitation or replica of wood, bamboo, stone or ceramic flooring, where the pattern is photographically pressed onto a wooden substrate. (Direct laminate or layered laminate). The mechanical and high-precision locking or click systems used today, which allow glueless connection of the individual installation panels, are based on the carrier material HDF= (high density fiberboard).

The density of this versatile wood material (approx. 960 kg per m3 ) gives the carrier material the necessary density, which is the reason for the typical characteristics of laminate flooring, namely: pressure resistance and extensive scratch and ember resistance.

Thus, the flooring is ideal for renovation of old buildings, rental housing and building structures that may also have some catching up to do in terms of acoustic or thermal optimization. With appropriate fleece underlays, there are a great many possibilities. Likewise, the advantages in terms of cleaning and the low maintenance effort are not to be overlooked. The repeatedly criticized properties of floating laminate flooring with regard to room sound (resonance) are nowadays countered by quite suitable and efficient products with corresponding sound-absorbing back coatings (Sound Protect systems).
