A smart investment for the future


Water is one of the worst wood flooring enemies.

After penetrating to wood structure it can cause cupping, swelling, lacquer cracking, discoloration and permanently damage it. 
When parquet is installed short connections between boards are the most sensitive to water penetration because they represent tree cross section, composed of large pores and cells, that was used for transporting water and nutritions up to the leaves.

Tarkett developed special hydrophobic liquid and state of art applying equipment to protect the most sensitive part of installed wood flooring – short connection between boards.

Hydrophobic liquid is applied on predefined area of parquet boards with quick and precise method 
that represents standard in industry for finishing wood products.
