2.2. The Bauwerk <strong>Wood</strong>-Index<br />
With Bauwerk there is no confusing mix of many different and ambiguously<br />
defined grading classifications. We categorize the grading in an easily<br />
understandable and clearly arranged numbering system. Number 1 describes<br />
calm and smooth strips or floorboards with mainly vertical tree rings. Number<br />
5 on the other hand stands for more natural looking strips or floorboards,<br />
e.g. horizontal tree rings, strong texture, lively colours, knots, storage cells or<br />
splints (= water-bearing capillary). The numbers in between stand for strips<br />
and floorboards with an increasingly vital and natural appearance.<br />
The structure, size and appearance of these characteristics diverge between<br />
the wood types. Therefore the Bauwerk <strong>Wood</strong>-Index has described and<br />
specified the categories 1 to 5 for each wood species.<br />
For example: Unopark Oak 12 contains parts with very consistent structure<br />
(1) and with a calm and smooth appearance (2), hence classifying it grade 12.<br />
A grading with a <strong>Wood</strong>-Index 15 would allow all possible occurring grading<br />
descriptions.<br />
The gradings from 1 to 3 usually contain parquets from the GALA collection.<br />
Grades from 3 to 5 belong to the VITA collection. Floors that are only available<br />
with the grade 14 are classified by their main characteristics: brushed,<br />
chamfered and oil treated parquet floors are generally part of the VITA<br />
collection.<br />
2.2. Formats, pattern and laying direction<br />
It goes without saying that the appearance of the parquet floor also depends<br />
on the format of the element, on the chosen laying pattern and on the laying<br />
direction.<br />
Basically there are the following possibilities:<br />
Element formats<br />
¡ Planks<br />
n Bauwerk Maxipark<br />
(Plank 1-strip and 2-strip)<br />
¡ Strips (smaller floorboards)<br />
n Bauwerk Trendpark<br />
n Bauwerk Megapark<br />
n Bauwerk Clever<strong>Wood</strong><br />
n Bauwerk Slimwood<br />
(Plank 1-strip and 2-strip)<br />
¡ Shipdeck<br />
n Bauwerk Maxipark<br />
n Bauwerk Tripark<br />
¡ Strip-format (strip design)<br />
n Bauwerk Variopark (2-strip)<br />
n Bauwerk Multipark<br />
(Shipdeck design)<br />
n Bauwerk Unopark<br />
n Bauwerk Monopark<br />
n Bauwerk Solopark<br />
n Bauwerk Denspark<br />
¡ Mosaic parquet (strip designed raw parquet)<br />
n Bauwerk Prepark (prefinished solid parquet)<br />
n Bauwerk solid parquet<br />
n Bauwerk on-edge parquet<br />
