Left and Above: Wolz Nautic - Solid wood decorative elements for indoor and outdoor floor surfaces<br />

Decorative elements made from wood are known as decorative trims or veneer marqu<strong>et</strong>ry, which are limited to their range of use. Wolz Nautic offers<br />

a new solution made from solid wood which makes it possible to produce new individu<strong>al</strong>ised floor surfaces with the same precision as is the case with<br />

filigree veneer marqu<strong>et</strong>ry. The innovation is to have solid wood decorative elements, maximum production precision due to laser cutting m<strong>et</strong>hod and<br />

an intelligent expansion joint system.<br />

The application areas are outdoors on terraces or on Yacht decks and indoors in Spa areas or other floor areas. The system is resistant to s<strong>al</strong>t water<br />

and UV.<br />

The combination with different wood materi<strong>al</strong>s (e.g. teak, wenge or purple heart) tog<strong>et</strong>her with other materi<strong>al</strong>s like stone and/or synth<strong>et</strong>ic offers the<br />

possibility of achieving unusu<strong>al</strong> designs and creating visu<strong>al</strong> highlights.<br />

For the care and spare parts management each component is provided with an individu<strong>al</strong> code by means of innovative technology. The ability to<br />

exchange individu<strong>al</strong> components is thus guaranteed in the long term. Furthermore, a useful thickness of up to 12 mm means that the decorative<br />

surfaces can be refreshed sever<strong>al</strong> times over. As a result, sanding down can be performed in one pass with the teak deck sanding for example.<br />

Using the laser technology in the production of the single parts enables Wolz Nautic to undertake filigree work right down to the tiniest d<strong>et</strong>ail.<br />

Implementing slender decorative elements and designs – such as those familiar from interior fixtures – is possible thanks to the high-tech suite of<br />

machines. Decorative floors with a size over 100 sqm can be created without problems.<br />

The design of this product works so well because it is a system based on the depth of knowledge of maritime teak decks, and this advance in product<br />

development <strong>al</strong>lows for individu<strong>al</strong>isation of the floor of outdoor/w<strong>et</strong> areas, now designers are not limited in their work with respect to the floor in<br />

outdoor/w<strong>et</strong> areas.<br />
