FLAT & WIDE: Solid wide boards, but in 12mm thickness
From time to time we are confronted with requests for wooden floors in extreme dimensions. Lengths up to 10m and more, widths of boards with more than half a meter… Yes, keeping precisely production rules and a certain thickness of the construction: then until today, it was mostly possible to find a sophisticated solution in wooden floor. However, to produce wide boards but only up to 12 mm thickness, seemed to be impossible due to the risk of bending and cupping. After certain discussion with experienced professionals and after some trails, we have found a way to do it in using from veneer logs only boards from selected areas.
For half a year we are testing solid oak elements in 300 mm but only 11 mm thickness. Result: Deformation are keeping within the tolerance and new cracks don´t appear at all.
We will keep on doing few tests more. Nevertheless, we assume to realize first projects in 2016.
Further information will follow.
