Storage Recommendations: • Storage of packaged parquet elements are allowed no more than 1 month, subject to the optimum conditions of temperature and humidity (see below). Artistic parquet elements must be placed within 3 days from the date of opening plastic packaging.

Humidity, and strain Wood Wood is hygroscopic, meaning it has the property to absorb and release moisture from the environment. Therefore, the moisture content of wood changes with humidity and ambient temperature. When the relative humidity of 50% and a temperature of 20 C the equilibrium moisture content of 9%, with 30% humidity and a temperature of 25 C moisture content of 5%. Rate of change of moisture content of wood depends on the breed. Change in the equilibrium moisture content of wood at 2% (from 9% to 11%) for oak occur within 40 days, and for beech - for 12 days. Wood is an anisotropic material, ie its properties in different directions are not identical. It is fully manifested in the deformation of wood. In the longitudinal direction of change in the size of wood slats less than 10 times than in the cross. For practical purposes, you can use the following approximate relation: when the humidity of parquet planks at 1% of their width varies by about 0.25% (for the slats 60 mm wide deformation is 0.15 mm per 1% change in moisture content of wood. The value of the real strain parquet slats the transition from winter to summer period can be quite significant. So when the relative humidity of 30% (winter, a room with central heating and no additional moisture) to 60% (summer, fall) at +20 C the equilibrium moisture content of wood varies 5%. Mode of operation: air temperature 20-24 degrees Celsius Relative humidity from 45% to 60%. Seasonal strain: In the summer, with high humidity (60%) of the air increases the size of parquet planks (Distension) that leads to the expulsion of lacquer and shpaktevok of the slots and lifting the edges of the parquet slats. In winter, when the heating and low (less than 45%) humidity hardwood dies reduce its size and parquet cracks. Recommendations for cleaning and care: lacquered flooring is recommended to clean with special funds for the care and use of appropriate special equipment can be cleaned with parquet floors and a well wrung cloth with special neutral detergent. Parquet is not recommended to wash with plenty of water and soap. Do not fill the hardwood floor with water. In the case of falling to the floor of a large quantity of water is recommended as soon as possible remove all the water and leave the flooring "alone" to dry. Heavily polluted places on the floor can be wiped lacquer benzine (white spirit) In violation of the varnish layer is recommended to brush up for protection from moisture. parquet Particular attention should be paid to pet owners, as scratches and marks from the claws may soon spoil the surface layer and penetration of urea destroys the paintwork and leaves a stain on the wood. Do not cover the flooring waterproof materials for a period of more than 5 calendar days. With movable furniture on wheels (baseboards TV, desk chairs, etc.) is recommended to use protective office mats that prevent the deterioration of the lacquer coating, and parquet. Mats are made of PVC transparent. In conventional removable legs of furniture is desirable to install felt pads (screwed into the legs of the chairs. tables, etc.) to prevent scratches and rough spots on the floor. Create and control temperature and humidity conditions. It is recommended to equip the premises hytherographs (optional - special, with a selection of best band on the scale), and take steps to normalize temperature and humidity in case of deviations. To increase the humidity Indoor optimal use of ultrasonic humidifiers. analyzers with built-in climate control. In rooms with parquet flooring not be used to increase the humidity steam humidifiers. To increase the humidity also apply to fountains, aquariums, and other vessels with an open surface water. additionally reduces the temperature of heating devices ( if possible). To reduce the moisture content can be used include air-conditioning or heating. Sources: "The Golden Ratio»
