The diversity in strip lengths, types of wood and patterns
makes the two-layer one-strip parquet flooring successful
and individual.

The creative design solution. Thanks to the very little construction
height Prestige is the ideal alternative to the solid strip floor.
Prestige is directly glued to the sub-floor. The parquet flooring is
sealed with Protect-Ultra, oiled with Ecoline or Natural Oil. It is also
possible to purchase our parquet strips completely untreated.
12 types of wood in two different strip lengths and a design square
make of Prestige a combination wonder. Furthermore 6 types of
wood are available as 790 mm Maxi strip. The hardwood top layer
with a thickness of approx. 3,5 or approx. 6 millimeters is bonded
inseparably to a stable buttom-layer of approx. 6 millimeters
made of birch-plywood. This shows BOEN’S responsible handling
of the natural resources.
If this choice is not sufficient, please do not hesitate to contact us
for your special wishes.

for the grand entrance –
the surface
If you look at it superficially, BOEN is the first choice in
any way! It is exactly the one for the competent entry …
Walnut American, Prestige

Protect-Ultra – sealing
A perfect sealing is an essential aspect for highly frequented
areas. Dust, soiling and humidity are prevented
from intruding by a highly abrasion-proof sealing with Protect-
Ultra which is applied by the manufacturer. While the work for
cleaning is considerably reduced, the lifetime and durability of the
parquet increases. Cristal-clear – BOEN Protect-Ultra, is by the way
an ecological product as it is free from solvents and formaldehyde,
guarantees an unclouded view on the natural surface of the wood.
Matt sealing
A 7-fold Protect-Ultra matt sealing of a very low gloss finish
“9” which makes the surface look “as oiled”. A natural
look combined with the advantages of an anti-scratch sealing.
Ecoline
Ecoline UV oil is a natural product. The result of the particular
production process is a satin-finished surface. For
allergic persons it is important to know that the substances of
content of the oil used by BOEN are natural products: sun flower oil,
soy bean oil, Carnauba wax and components based on beeswax.
And last but not least: The surface is hydrophobic, dirt-resistant,
easy to clean, smear-resistant and resistant against stains.
Natural Oil
These parquet floorings are pre-oiled at our factory using
naturally hardening oxidative oil. After the installation
the surface is again oiled by the parquet floorer. Natural Oil accentuates
the character of the wood and provides natural haptics
to the parquet flooring. Free from biocide active substances and
preservatives.
Unfinished
Upon request any Prestige,Traffic and Maxi floor is available with
an untreated hardwood top layer. If you have particular ideas
concerning the surface treatment you may take over yourself the
sealing according to your wishes and requirements.
Perfect!
Not only in our opinion...

let’s go! – so easily you will
lay your desired flooring
With Prestige you will be be happy anywhere – in new buildings and
old buildings. Another reason is the sub-floor: no matter if you want
to lay it on an underfloor heating or on a cement screed. You may
lay Prestige anywhere ...
The laying
You may indeed lay Prestige on any professionally prepared subfloor:
on cement-, anhydrite-, mastic asphalt- and dry screeds
as well as on flake- and plywood boards. But what means professional?
– This means that the sub-floor is tested – if necessary
prepared – for laying according to DIN 18365 for flooring works
and according to DIN 18356 for parquet works. You have to especially
pay attention to the evenness conforming to standards
in order to prevent from hollow spaces. Short planks may serve
to compensate the height.
The low installation height of maximum 12 millimeters makes
of Prestige the ideal parquet for renovation. Low heights of doors
or rooms are not displacing. The little thickness even allowes
a combination with textile and ceramic flooring of the same
height.
Due to a convenient resistance of heat passage the pre-conditions
for laying on hot water underfloor heating are extremely good.
Longterm researches of the “Fraunhofer Institute” for wood
research have certified this to BOEN – this means also to Prestige
and all its variants.
It is recommended to use pre-coats, equalization masses and
adhesives of one manufacturer; this offers best possible certainty.
A parquet flooring is only laid perfectly when all the transisions
to adjacent rooms and walls are designed matching to the
parquet flooring. Therefore we offer you a large range of accessories:
matching skirtings for any of our wood types, mouldings,
stair nosing.
The packing
We talk about an “overall-carefreeparquet” as each pack is thoroughly
sorted according to left-hand and right-hand strips. Simply
turn the box upside down and the laying goes almost without
saying. A rapid and simple laying is not disturbed. This is another
reason why Prestige is so popular among professionals.
