the history <strong>of</strong> boen<br />
BOEN BRUK, NORWAY<br />
<strong>The</strong> story <strong>of</strong> BOEN is a story <strong>of</strong> nature. With deep roots<br />
stretching back to as early as 1641, our proud hardwood<br />
heritage is founded on two operating sawmills by the<br />
crystal clear waterfall near BOEN Bruk, Kristiansand,<br />
in the southern tip <strong>of</strong> Norway.<br />
Since the middle <strong>of</strong> the 17th century, the people <strong>of</strong> BOEN<br />
have constantly brought forward our rich history <strong>of</strong> innovation<br />
and authentic craftsmanship.<br />
One basic principle, however, has over time remained at<br />
the very heart <strong>of</strong> BOEN’s culture and history: respect for<br />
nature and her refined resources.<br />
We welcome you to the exclusive collection and trusted<br />
brand <strong>of</strong> BOEN. Let us help you to create a lifelong sense <strong>of</strong><br />
durable luxury and elegance at your feet.<br />
<strong>The</strong> factory in Norway manufactures and serves the Scandinavian<br />
markets as well as key markets in America and the UK.

nature and the environment<br />
Respect for nature is not only about sensitive methods<br />
<strong>of</strong> production. It is as much a matter <strong>of</strong> the attitude that<br />
we take the environment seriously.<br />

BOEN flooring is a product <strong>of</strong> natural materials. Respect for<br />
nature and for the requirement <strong>of</strong> environmental sustainability<br />
is reflected in our processing and management <strong>of</strong><br />
raw materials. BOEN constantly seeks methods for processing<br />
the raw materials in the most gentle and sustainable<br />
manner possible.<br />
<strong>The</strong> raw materials processed at BOEN come from sustainable<br />
forests. Above that, the BOEN factories have implemented<br />
a chain <strong>of</strong> custody system in accordance with<br />
the FSC standards. <strong>The</strong> Forest Stewardship Council is a<br />
well known forest certification scheme.<br />
BOEN FSC license numbers are: BOEN Norway FSC C051117,<br />
BOEN Germany FSC C101713, BOEN Lithuania FSC C021510,<br />
BOEN UK FSC C047288, BOEN US FSC C095158.<br />
FSC – <strong>The</strong> mark <strong>of</strong> responsible forestry, www.fsc.org.<br />
BOEN’s production methods are noted for their quality and<br />
excellent use <strong>of</strong> resources. <strong>The</strong> timber is quickly transported<br />
to the saw mill and cut, so that the drying process can start<br />
as soon as possible, thereby avoiding discoloration. <strong>The</strong><br />
wood is dried under monitored conditions. This allows us to<br />
guarantee the highest degree <strong>of</strong> stability for our floors.<br />
Multi-layer hardwood flooring provides considerable<br />
savings in resources compared to solid hardwood flooring.<br />
<strong>The</strong> use <strong>of</strong> hardwood is limited to the wear layer. Threefifths<br />
<strong>of</strong> our parquet is based on spruce and pine woods.<br />
Sawn and planed chips are bi-products that occur naturally<br />
and are used in the factory’s heating systems for the drying<br />
kilns, hot water supply and fuel pellets.<br />
<strong>The</strong> German Blue Angel label has been awarded to BOEN<br />
confirming that our manufacturing methods produce<br />
minimal amounts <strong>of</strong> waste gas and consequently contribute<br />
to a good interior climate.<br />

<strong>The</strong> idea <strong>of</strong> design as a means <strong>of</strong> improving everyday life<br />
has long been a natural ambition at BOEN. Interaction in<br />
interior design is exciting. <strong>The</strong> Scandinavian style combines<br />
the neutral colour <strong>of</strong> the Nordic landscape with a casual<br />
aged appearance. <strong>The</strong> long winters and lack <strong>of</strong> natural light<br />
in the north has created a need for sleek and airy interiors<br />
that make the most <strong>of</strong> the available sunlight. <strong>The</strong> neutral,<br />
light colour palette <strong>of</strong> the Nordic Light Parquet series is<br />
essentially timeless and adds a sense <strong>of</strong> air and modern<br />
elegance to any home or <strong>of</strong>fice.

ANTIQUE<br />
Thanks to the stained surface the board exudes the<br />
charm <strong>of</strong> naturally matured wood.<br />
HISTORICAL<br />
As rustic as a board flooring aged a century long. <strong>The</strong><br />
knots are replaced manually by oak plugs <strong>of</strong> irregular<br />
shape. <strong>The</strong> surface is antique stained.<br />

<strong>The</strong> expressive grain <strong>of</strong> the oak boards is emphasized by<br />
oiling with a clear shade <strong>of</strong> colour. It is particularly striking<br />
due to the brushed surface.

A My Dreams floor is easily recognized<br />
by its informality and exotic and<br />

best when combined with dark, robust<br />
furniture. Baskets, stones and braided<br />
materials also complement this range.<br />
We recommend the use <strong>of</strong> mellow<br />
colours, possibly with a touch <strong>of</strong><br />
sophisticated and subdued pastels.<br />
And well-sourced lighting will add<br />

surface treatments<br />
BOEN places considerable emphasis on protecting the environment<br />
during all phases <strong>of</strong> production. Neither lacquer nor oil emit gases<br />
which are harmful to humans or to the environment. BOEN <strong>of</strong>fers its<br />
customers a wide range <strong>of</strong> surface finishes.
Protect-Ultra – sealed floorings<br />
Protect-Ultra is a very hard-wearing and extremely<br />
scratch resistant lacquer, available in a silk matt<br />
finish. Protect-Ultra is free from solvents and formaldehyde<br />
and guarantees a clear, unclouded finish on the natural<br />
surface <strong>of</strong> the wood. We <strong>of</strong>fer a comprehensive maintenance<br />
system with a parquet refresher and parquet polish<br />
and cleaners.<br />
Matt lacquered<br />
<strong>The</strong> effect <strong>of</strong> matt lacquer resembles an oiled floor.<br />
Matt lacquer provides the same hard-wearing<br />
surface as Protect-Ultra, but with less shine – a natural look<br />
combined with the advantages <strong>of</strong> a scratch resistant seal.<br />
Bona Polish Matt should be used to maintain this finish.<br />
Ecoline – oiled floorings<br />
Ecoline is an oil that is cured by UV light. <strong>The</strong> oil contains<br />
sunflower oil, soya oil, carnauba wax and bees<br />
wax to give a gleaming silk matt surface. It is free from<br />
emission substances and is therefore particularly suitable<br />
for people who suffer from allergies from bio-hygienic<br />
properties as provided for in Norway’s RAL-GR 430 regulations.<br />
It is certified by the ECO, Institut für Ökologie in<br />
Cologne.<br />
Natural Oil – oiled floorings<br />
<strong>The</strong>se floorings are finished at our factory using<br />
naturally hardening oxidative oil. Natural Oil<br />
accentuates the character <strong>of</strong> the wood, providing a natural<br />
feel <strong>of</strong> the parquet surface and is free from biocide active<br />
substances and conditioners. Osmo Oil or an equivalent<br />
product should be used for maintenance.<br />

something special –<br />
stained surfaces<br />
BOEN has developed colours to suit various<br />
interior designs. To meet the demand for lighter<br />
and darker shades, BOEN <strong>of</strong>fers a range <strong>of</strong><br />
stained products in which oak and ash are the<br />
main types <strong>of</strong> wood used.<br />
Staining<br />
Dark stained parquet floorings are a very attractive<br />
alternative to exotic woods. In the light stained product<br />
the wood grain is smoother and thus generates an evensurface<br />
look. Stained products are normally lacquered<br />
with Protect-Ultra silk matt or matt lacquer.<br />
White pigment<br />
White pigmentation is used to tone down the coloration<br />
in the wood and create a modern appearance. BOEN mainly<br />
uses matt lacquer combined with white pigmentation.<br />
Bona “Polish Matt” should be used for the maintenance <strong>of</strong><br />
white pigmented matt lacquer surfaces.<br />
Smoked and steamed<br />
By smoking the parquet boards a particularly warm shade<br />
<strong>of</strong> colour is generated. With the addition <strong>of</strong> staining or<br />
oiling, we are able to <strong>of</strong>fer a large range <strong>of</strong> natural colours,<br />
such as those in our Stonewashed Collection. By slightly<br />
brushing the wood, the colour becomes more ingrained.<br />
Brushing <strong>of</strong> the wood<br />
Brushing the wood surface is used together with staining<br />
to enhance its structure. <strong>The</strong> surface can be either lacquered<br />
or oiled using clear or coloured oil, as is seen in the Stonewashed<br />
Collection. <strong>The</strong> original character <strong>of</strong> the wood is<br />
accentuated and the year rings are emphasized.<br />

cleaning and<br />
maintenance<br />
For day-to-day cleaning it is enough to remove dust and dirt<br />
with a mop, broom or vacuum cleaner.<br />
If it is necessary to wipe the floor, use the appropriate<br />
cleaning product for the type <strong>of</strong> flooring. Never pour<br />
water onto your parquet floor as the wood might swell<br />
and damage the floor. With regular use a cleaning agent<br />
acts as a natural moisturizing agent and the floor<br />
surface will become more resistant to soiling and the<br />
appearance <strong>of</strong> wear.<br />
<strong>The</strong> cleaning products are adapted to the various<br />
surface treatments. As a general rule lacquered floors<br />
should be cleaned with synthetic cleaner (with no grease<br />
content) whereas oiled floors should be cleaned with soap<br />
(containing grease).<br />
Our maintenance products for both lacquered and oiled<br />
floors are <strong>of</strong> the highest quality.<br />

the structure<br />
<strong>of</strong> boen parquet<br />
<strong>Hardwood</strong> is a living substance. As wood is a hygroscopic<br />
and natural product, it assimilates and emits water.<br />
It must adapt its internal moisture content to the relative<br />
humidity <strong>of</strong> its environment.<br />
Guaranteed stability<br />
TOP LAYER<br />
More than 18 high-quality types <strong>of</strong><br />
wood and numerous surface treatments<br />
are available.<br />
MIDDLE LAYER<br />
Carefully selected strips made <strong>of</strong><br />
spruce, with standing or half-standing<br />
year rings <strong>of</strong>fer high dimensional<br />
stability.<br />
BOTTOM LAYER<br />
<strong>The</strong> underlay <strong>of</strong> spruce veneer is<br />
manufactured from one piece and<br />
allows stable back pull.<br />
BOEN X-PRESS – the rapid locking technology<br />
Take advantage <strong>of</strong> the BOEN X-PRESS locking<br />
system on the short ends <strong>of</strong> the boards<br />
<strong>of</strong> all BOEN Clic products.<br />
± A quicker and easier way to install<br />
single boards without tools<br />
± Significantly reduces installation time<br />
± <strong>The</strong> clear Clic sound lets you know<br />
when installation is complete<br />
± Also suitable for full-surface gluing<br />
onto the sub-floor<br />
On the long side <strong>of</strong> the board, BOEN<br />
uses the regular Clic system<br />
BOEN X-PRESS: When<br />
pressing down on<br />
the board, the flexible<br />
tongue will lock and<br />
make the “single action”<br />
movement possible
Wood exists with its surroundings<br />
Our aim in developing our parquet floors is to reduce the<br />
hygroscopic forces and the movement <strong>of</strong> the wood to a<br />
minimum. We cannot eliminate those effects completely,<br />
but we can reduce them to a minimum. How do we<br />
achieve this?<br />
<strong>The</strong> precisely engineered three-layer structure <strong>of</strong> our<br />
parquet planks – made up <strong>of</strong> an underlay, intermediate<br />
middle layer and the surface layer <strong>of</strong> finest quality<br />
wood – cancels out the natural effects by draw and<br />
counterdraw. <strong>The</strong> carefully selected planks will considerably<br />
reduce swelling and contraction. BOEN stable<br />
parquet floorings will last for generations.<br />
High relative humidity<br />
This diagram shows how solid wood expands if the<br />
relative humidity is high. <strong>The</strong> wood expands in a convex<br />
way and the pressure on the joins is noticeable. Even<br />
when solid wood boards dry, they never return to their<br />
original form.<br />
BOEN gives its<br />
word with a 20-year<br />
guarantee.<br />
Low relative humidity<br />
This diagram shows how solid wood shrinks if the relative<br />
humidity is low or the sub-floor is damp. <strong>The</strong> solid nonstabilized<br />
plank will shrink in a concave fashion. If the wood<br />
dries and becomes damp again, the joins will fail to return<br />
to their original form as the wood’s flexibility is constantly<br />
deteriorating.<br />

underfloor heating<br />
and installation techniques<br />
Glued, nailed or floating? Parquet can be installed on most<br />
types <strong>of</strong> flooring. Problems such as uneven sub-flooring,<br />
moisture, sound pro<strong>of</strong>ing etc., can be resolved with the help<br />
<strong>of</strong> technical expertise from BOEN’s sales and service team.<br />
Underfloor heating<br />
BOEN hardwood flooring is an ideal floor covering to place<br />
above underfloor heating systems.<br />
A properly functioning underfloor heating system – hot<br />
water or electrical – results in optimal thermal distribution<br />
throughout the area to be heated, giving maximum<br />
comfort. It is therefore necessary for the floor covering to<br />
have efficient thermal conductivity – i.e. low resistance<br />
to heat transmission. A glued down floor allows greater<br />
heat transference than does a floating system.<br />
Floor heating<br />
in formwork<br />
size between joints<br />
Floating floor with<br />
heating pipes in heat<br />
distribution sheets<br />
<strong>The</strong> underfloor heating system must be regulated to<br />
ensure a maximum effect <strong>of</strong> 60W/m2 with a sub-floor<br />
surface temperature not exceeding 27ºC (83ºF), with a<br />
room temperature <strong>of</strong> 20–22ºC (68–72ºF). Relative humidity<br />
should be maintained between 30–60%. Heat must be<br />
evenly distributed under the hardwood flooring. Carpets<br />
with an insulating effect must not be used on the floor as<br />
this accumulates heat.<br />
Underfloor heating systems <strong>of</strong>ten result in slightly more<br />
movement in hardwood flooring, and the formation <strong>of</strong><br />
some cracks while heating is being used must be expected<br />
if moisture is not supplied to the surrounding air.

Installation for the various options<br />
Laying a floating floor is the most common method used in<br />
private houses and flats, although nailing or gluing the floor<br />
to the sub-floor are good alternatives. In public buildings we<br />
recommend gluing the floor to the sub-floor.<br />
FLOATING INSTALLATION: ADVANTAGES<br />
± Most common method in private houses and flats<br />
± Quick and easy to install<br />
± Easier to insulate against sound transmission<br />
by impact<br />
± Can be installed on most types <strong>of</strong> self-supporting<br />
sub-floor<br />
± Easier to insulate against damp from the sub-floor<br />
Suitable BOEN products for floating installation:<br />
e.g. all BOEN X-PRESS Clic floorings<br />
GLUED DOWN: ADVANTAGES<br />
± Recommended for use in public buildings<br />
with heavy traffic<br />
± A good solution also in private houses and flats<br />
± <strong>The</strong> floor is very stable<br />
± Good acoustics in the room<br />
± Tolerates greater fluctuation in climate<br />
± Can be installed in large areas, and continuously<br />
between rooms, without having to be divided up<br />
Suitable BOEN floorings for the glued-down method:<br />
14 mm BOEN X-PRESS Clic and tongue/ groove, solid planks,<br />
Prestige, Traffic, Strongline<br />
NAILED DOWN: ADVANTAGES<br />
± To be used for self-supporting floors which<br />
are installed on sleepers<br />
± <strong>The</strong> floor is very stable<br />
± Saves on sub-floor<br />
± Can be installed continuously between rooms<br />
± Walls can be mounted onto the floor<br />
Suitable BOEN floorings for the nailed-down method:<br />
23 mm longstrip, 21 mm Strongline, solid planks<br />

accessories<br />
Perfection to the last detail. Only the appropriate<br />
accessory and the correct cleaning and care will make<br />
your parquet flooring perfect.<br />
A beautiful and functional parquet floor will only be<br />
optimal with the correct accessories to ensure correct<br />
installation as well as top finish. BOEN <strong>of</strong>fers parquet<br />
underlayment, correct installation tools and a full range<br />
<strong>of</strong> various skirting, mouldings and stair nosing. BOEN<br />
also <strong>of</strong>fers cleaning and maintenance products for the<br />
daily care <strong>of</strong> the floor.<br />
When installing a floating floor, it is important to use<br />
correct underlay mat. <strong>The</strong> density in the underlay mat is<br />
essential especially when installing Clic solutions (gluefree<br />
tongue/ groove solutions). If the floor shall be glued<br />
to the sub-floor, BOEN has the correct solution for priming<br />
and gluing be it wood - or concrete sub-floor.

<strong>The</strong> decision is decisive. BOEN Chalet.
Individually manufactured precious oak boards.<br />
BOEN | Chalet<br />
Chalet Traditional<br />
<strong>The</strong> oak wood top layer <strong>of</strong> the Chalet boards<br />
come from 150 to 200 years old oak trees<br />
from the Baltic States. We will develop for<br />
you individually for each room a plan for<br />
the design <strong>of</strong> your flooring by means <strong>of</strong> a<br />
drawing. In doing so, we are looking for the<br />
optimum optical composition <strong>of</strong> different<br />
widths and lengths <strong>of</strong> boards. Only if you and<br />
your customer are satisfied with the design<br />
<strong>of</strong> the floor, we will start manufacturing the<br />
precious oak boards.
If you have the opportunity to choose it is<br />
not always easy to take the right decision.<br />
<strong>The</strong> exclusive BOEN Chalet oak boards with<br />
its outstanding sizes and properties <strong>of</strong> high<br />
quality multi-layer parquet flooring will give<br />
you the good feeling to have taken the right<br />
choice. If you are using them in private living<br />
areas or in public areas, Chalet oak boards will<br />
always fascinate and inspire. It is nice to see<br />
that you will be able to install the precisely<br />
manufactured boards as easily as traditional<br />
multi-layer parquet flooring.<br />
It doesn't really matter what car you drive,<br />
but which flooring you use to cover allover your home.<br />

THE ART OF HARDWOOD FLOORING<br />
FROM CONCEPTS TO CONSTRUCTION
<strong>The</strong> crucial<br />
choice <strong>of</strong> flooring<br />
<strong>The</strong> building industry is very demanding<br />
when it comes to flooring, as well it should.<br />
To meet the functional and aesthetic needs<br />
<strong>of</strong> the market, BOEN is constantly improving<br />
its manufacturing techniques and methods,<br />
always listening to its customers and always<br />
giving them the best possible service.<br />
We trace our origins as manufacturers<br />
<strong>of</strong> wood and timber products as far back<br />
as 1641. <strong>The</strong> first shipment <strong>of</strong> solid wood<br />
flooring left BOEN in 1953, and in 1966<br />
we began our internationally recognized<br />
collections <strong>of</strong> multi-layered hardwood floors.<br />
As the many examples in the brochure show,<br />
our product range has evolved steadily to<br />
include flooring for homes, <strong>of</strong>fices, shops,<br />
public buildings and sports centres.<br />
It should be taken for granted that BOEN<br />
always produces enduring and eye-catching<br />
floors, as well as complying with the strictest<br />
international safety and environmental<br />
standards. It is with great pride that we let<br />
the following pages present glimpses <strong>of</strong><br />
some very exciting interiors from around the<br />
world, interiors in which our floorings have<br />
been found to be the most sensible choice.<br />

cARING fOR NATURE AND THE ENVIRONMENT<br />
THE NATURAL cHOIcE<br />
BOEN parquet is a natural product. concern for natural resources and the environment are<br />
important to us. We are in constant dialogue with environmental protection authorities and<br />
organizations and have invested considerably in technologies that allow us to utilize more<br />
<strong>of</strong> the wood. We buy wood only from sustainable forests: as much as 95% <strong>of</strong> it comes from<br />
European suppliers who have extensive reforestation programmes.<br />
www.greenguide.com<br />
Forest stewardship CounCil – FsC<br />
<strong>The</strong> majority <strong>of</strong> the raw materials processed at BOEN come<br />
from sustainable forests. <strong>The</strong> BOEN factories produce in<br />
accordance with the FSC standards. <strong>The</strong> Forest Stewardship<br />
Council is a well known certification scheme.<br />

BOEN has been awarded <strong>The</strong> Blue Angel – an internationally recognized environmental<br />
label awarded by the Department <strong>of</strong> the Environment in Germany.<br />
<strong>Product</strong>s with the Blue Angel seal <strong>of</strong> approval contain very small amounts <strong>of</strong><br />
waste gas to ensure a healthy indoor environment. Before obtaining the Blue<br />
Angel label, the product is examined at every stage from tree harvesting and<br />
production to usage and final recirculation.<br />

real wood<br />
– let nature into Your own hoMe<br />
<strong>The</strong> environmental advantages <strong>of</strong> choosing genuine wood are indisputable.<br />
<strong>The</strong> manufacture, processing and storing <strong>of</strong> wood requires considerably less<br />
energy than other materials. Forests that are harvested for parquet manufacturing<br />
are continually replanted: more trees are planted than are cut down. In<br />
addition, wood replaces carbon-based alternatives and reduces greenhouse<br />
gas emissions. <strong>The</strong> Real Wood logo is used exclusively by authorized manufacturers<br />
in <strong>The</strong> European Federation <strong>of</strong> Parquet Industry (FEP).<br />

fROM cONcEPTS TO DESIGN TO cONSTRUcTION<br />
A technical checklist for pr<strong>of</strong>essional customers<br />
It is helpful for all concerned when all aspects <strong>of</strong><br />
the flooring in a building project are considered<br />
before starting the project. BOEN recommends a<br />
pre-construction investigation and, if the project in<br />
question is large, even laying a test floor.<br />
POINTS TO BE TAkEN INTO ACCOUNT:<br />
π Choosing the species <strong>of</strong> wood and colour<br />
<strong>of</strong> the floor<br />
π Choosing the installation method:<br />
floating, glued or nailed?<br />
π quality assurance, procedures, conditions<br />
at the work site and the time <strong>of</strong> year<br />
π Moisture requirements; responsibility<br />
for the various parts <strong>of</strong> the building<br />
π Constructing the concrete foundations<br />
and timber joists<br />
π Delivery and logistics at the building site<br />
π Potential problems<br />

BOEN ALLOWS SPAcE fOR INDIVIDUAL TASTE<br />
Choose between lacquered, matt lacquered<br />
and oiled surfaces<br />
PROTECT ULTRA<br />
Protect Ultra is a very hard-wearing and extremely scratch<br />
resistant lacquer, available in a silk matt finish. It is cured<br />
by UV light and does not emit any dangerous chemicals or<br />
gasses. We <strong>of</strong>fer a comprehensive maintenance system with<br />
parquet refresher or parquet polish and cleaners.<br />
MATT LACqUER<br />
<strong>The</strong> effect <strong>of</strong> matt lacquer resembles an oiled floor.<br />
Matt lacquer provides the same hard-wearing surface<br />
as Protect Ultra, but with less shine. Bona Polish Matt<br />
should be used to maintain this finish.<br />
ECOLINE<br />
Ecoline is an oil that is cured by UV light. It contains sunflower<br />
oil, soya oil, carnauba wax and bees wax. <strong>The</strong> surface<br />
does not emit any dangerous chemicals or gasses.<br />
BOEN Floor Soap and Oil Freshen Up should be used for<br />
cleaning and maintaining.<br />
NATURAL OIL<br />
Natural oil is an oxidising oil which is cured with the<br />
help <strong>of</strong> the oxygen in the air. It is absorbed deep into the<br />
wood and <strong>of</strong>fers greater protection. Use Osmo Oil or an<br />
equivalent product to maintain this finish.<br />
WHITE PIGMENT<br />
White pigmentation is used to tone down the colour in<br />
the wood and create a modern look. BOEN normally uses<br />
matt lacquer in combination with white pigmentation.<br />
Bona Polish Matt should be used to maintain white pigmented<br />
matt lacquer surfaces.<br />
BRUSHING<br />
Brushing is used in conjunction with staining to enhance<br />
the structure <strong>of</strong> the wood. <strong>The</strong> surface can be lacquered<br />
or oiled.<br />
STAINING<br />
BOEN has developed coloured stains to suit a range <strong>of</strong><br />
interior designs. <strong>The</strong>re is increased consumer interest<br />
in dark, warm colours and these products can replicate<br />
colours found in varieties <strong>of</strong> tropical wood. Stained<br />
products are usually lacquered with silk matt or matt<br />
lacquer.<br />

METHODS Of INSTALLATION<br />
Glued, nailed or floating?<br />
Parquet can be installed on most types <strong>of</strong> flooring<br />
– from mature wood to new concrete. Problems such<br />
as uneven sub-flooring, moisture, dry air and soundpro<strong>of</strong>ing<br />
can be resolved with the help <strong>of</strong> technical<br />
expertise from BOEN’s sales and service team. BOEN<br />
delivers parquet that is suitable for gluing down or<br />
nailing, or in the form <strong>of</strong> self-supporting parquet<br />
laid on joists or as floating parquet for use with or<br />
without the clic system.<br />
SOUND PROOfING<br />
A floating floor should be considered if it is necessary to<br />
reduce sound to the lower floors. BOEN also has a type<br />
<strong>of</strong> acoustic matting for sound pro<strong>of</strong>ing in, for example,<br />
apartment buildings. If clearer sound with low reverberation<br />
is required in the room, gluing the parquet to the<br />
sub-floor is the best solution.<br />
fLOOR HEATING<br />
A glued floor allows more heat transference than does<br />
a floating floor. Floor heating must be thermostatically<br />
controlled and installed so that it provides an even heat<br />
load over the whole surface. Beech and Maple parquet<br />
are sensitive to heat and should not be used with floor<br />
heating. We would also recommend not using solid wood<br />
with heated flooring.<br />
TIP:<br />
Carpets with a reverse side <strong>of</strong> rubber or other dense<br />
material should not be used on parquet with floor<br />
heating. <strong>The</strong> heat becomes isolated under the carpet and<br />
can damage the floor.<br />
We recommend that the floor be glued down to<br />
the sub-flooring in public buildings, hotels, airports,<br />
<strong>of</strong>fices and similar, where there is heavy traffic.<br />
In private homes, the floating method is the general<br />
method <strong>of</strong> installation, but nailing and gluing to the<br />
sub-floor is also a good alternative.<br />

fLOATING INSTALLATION WITH ADHESIVE IN THE GROOVE<br />
(15 mm, 21 mm Strongline)<br />
fLOATING INSTALLATION WITH-OUT ADHESIVE<br />
(14 mm Boen Clic)<br />
Advantages:<br />
• quick and easy to install<br />
• Easier to insulate against sound transmission by impact<br />
• Can be installed on most types <strong>of</strong> self-supporting sub-floor<br />
• Easier to insulate against damp from the sub-floor<br />
Disadvantages:<br />
• <strong>The</strong> limited size <strong>of</strong> the area that can be installed before the<br />
floor has to be divided up<br />
• <strong>The</strong> floor must be able to move, so walls should not be<br />
mounted on the floor<br />
• <strong>The</strong> floor must be divided between rooms<br />
• <strong>The</strong> sub-flooring must be completely level and even<br />
• High room resonance, especially in connection with effective<br />
insulation against the sound <strong>of</strong> footsteps<br />
NAILING OR ScREWING TO JOISTS AND BATTENS<br />
(23 mm, 21 mm Strongline, 20 mm Solid Wood)<br />
Advantages <strong>of</strong> nailing/screwing to joists/battens:<br />
• Saves on sub-flooring<br />
• Can be installed continuously between rooms<br />
• Walls can be mounted onto the floor<br />
Disadvantages:<br />
• Relatively high room resonance and<br />
impact sound transmission<br />

(10 mm Prestige, 12 mm Traffic, 15 mm, 21 mm Strongline,<br />
20 mm Solid Wood Plank, 8 mm Mosaic parquet,<br />
23 mm Industrial parquet)<br />
Advantages with gluing:<br />
• <strong>The</strong> floor is very stable<br />
• <strong>The</strong> floor is more tolerant to fluctuations in climate<br />
• Good acoustics in the room<br />
• Can be installed in large areas, and continuously between rooms,<br />
without having to be divided up<br />
Disadvantages:<br />
• A long drying period is required when used with concrete<br />
– It must be dried to RH 65%<br />
• Floor sheeting should be installed diagonally (at 45o) in<br />
relation to the parquet<br />
• Higher installation costs<br />
• Higher impact sound transmission<br />

A BEAUTIfUL fLOOR YEAR AfTER YEAR<br />
Cleaning and Maintenance<br />
Parquet from BOEN has been treated<br />
with the most up-to-date and hardwearing<br />
products, but it should still be<br />
maintained from time to time – how<br />
<strong>of</strong>ten depends on the surface and the<br />
amount <strong>of</strong> wear and tear, especially in<br />
public buildings.<br />
BOEN recommends dry mopping and<br />
vacuuming for daily cleaning <strong>of</strong> all<br />
types <strong>of</strong> floor. When washing the floor<br />
becomes necessary, it is important that<br />
a minimum amount <strong>of</strong> water is used<br />
together with a cleaning product<br />
suitable for oiled and lacquered<br />
floors. Water should never be allowed<br />
to remain on the parquet to dry.<br />
A floor treated with oil requires more<br />
frequent maintenance than a lacquered<br />
floor, and should be treated every<br />
other year. It is not necessary to treat<br />
the whole floor on each occasion:<br />
smaller areas can be treated without<br />
leaving visible marks. Lacquered floors<br />
should be maintained every four or<br />
five years.<br />
BOEN can supply detailed instructions<br />
on cleaning, maintaining and renovating<br />
parquet.<br />
for more information see<br />
www.boen.com<br />
WOOD fLOORING ADJUSTS TO THE cLIMATE<br />
Spot-light on stable flooring<br />
STABILITY IS A kEY WORD IN<br />
BOEN’S PRODUcTION.<br />
Wood is affected by temperature and<br />
humidity and its volume is constantly<br />
changing. It absorbs and emits moisture<br />
and adapts to fit its surroundings. For wood<br />
flooring to remain stable, it is important<br />
that there are no large fluctuations in<br />
temperature and humidity.<br />
<strong>The</strong> majority <strong>of</strong> BOEN’s floors are made up<br />
<strong>of</strong> three layers which are glued together.<br />
<strong>The</strong> top layer is made <strong>of</strong> hardwood, while the<br />
middle and bottom layers are <strong>of</strong> s<strong>of</strong>twood.<br />
This construction significantly minimizes<br />
shrinkage and swelling during fluctuations<br />
in climatic conditions compared to the<br />
movement that takes place in solid wood<br />
flooring. This construction allows the floor<br />
lie in a stable position in a climate with a<br />
moisture content <strong>of</strong> between 30% and 60%.<br />
TIP: Shrinkage and the formation <strong>of</strong> cracks<br />
in the wood can be avoided by introducing<br />
moisture into the air. Use a humidifier or<br />
simply place a container with water on a<br />
source <strong>of</strong> heat.<br />

ConneXProcess –<br />
Surface technique<br />
By focusing on stability and durability<br />
and to the contrary to the<br />
common processes – first the<br />
sealing, and then milling – BOEN<br />
first seals the raw board, then the<br />
parquet element is milled with<br />
tongue and groove. This is one<br />
thing. <strong>The</strong> other thing is: An extraordinary<br />
exact treatment <strong>of</strong> the<br />
parquet elements with proper<br />
expertise. Precise cutting <strong>of</strong> tongue<br />
and groove, exact joints and flawless<br />
edges. Sharp transitions and a plane<br />
surface look.<br />
This is the reason why we have<br />
given a proper name to our new<br />
process. BOEN ConneXProcess –<br />
BOEN stands for masterpiece.<br />
ConneXProcess for exact joints,<br />
efficient laying and a plane surface.<br />
Protect Ultra –<br />
Sealing<br />
For highly-frequented areas a<br />
perfect sealing is an important<br />
point. <strong>The</strong> intrusion <strong>of</strong> dust, dirt and<br />
humidity is avoided by the highly<br />
abrasion-resistant factory-made<br />
sealing with Protect Ultra. Whereas<br />
the maintenance is considerably<br />
reduced, the lifetime and durability<br />
<strong>of</strong> your parquet is being increased.<br />
ShipsDeck<br />
Height: 15 mm<br />
Width: 139 mm<br />
Length: 2200 mm<br />
It is crystal clear – BOEN Protect<br />
Ultra - which is by the way ecological<br />
as it is free from solvents and<br />
from formaldehyde - guarantees<br />
the unclouded view on the natural<br />
color <strong>of</strong> the wood. <strong>The</strong> dreaded<br />
effect <strong>of</strong> orange skin is avoided.<br />
Ecoline<br />
<strong>The</strong> oil-treated parquet. Ecoline is a<br />
pure natural product which had<br />
been found “good” by the German<br />
magazine “Ökotest”. <strong>The</strong> result <strong>of</strong><br />
the special production process is a<br />
natural satin-finished surface. For<br />
allergic persons, the contents <strong>of</strong> the<br />
used oils are important, for BOEN<br />
products, we only use natural components:<br />
Sunflower oil, soy bean oil,<br />
carnauba wax and components<br />
based on bee wax. <strong>The</strong> surface is<br />
water-repellent, insensitive to dirt,<br />
easy to clean, smear-resistant and<br />
resistant against spotting.<br />
Unsealed<br />
Each parquet flooring is also<br />
available with an unsealed layer <strong>of</strong><br />
exotic wood. If you have a special<br />
vision <strong>of</strong> the surface treatment,<br />
you can perform the sealing<br />
yourself after laying according to<br />
your wishes and demands.<br />

Brushed and oil-treated. This is a<br />

annual rings are emphasized. Each<br />

construction height Prestige is the ideal alternative<br />
to the solid strip floor. Prestige is directly glued to the<br />
subfloor. <strong>The</strong> parquet flooring is sealed with Protect-<br />
Ultra, oiled with Ecoline or – if required – oiled with BOEN<br />
natural oil. It is also possible to purchase our parquet<br />
strips completely untreated.<br />

design square make <strong>of</strong> Prestige a combination wonder.<br />
Furthermore 7 kinds <strong>of</strong> wood are available as 790 mm<br />
long strip. <strong>The</strong> hardwood top layer with a thickness <strong>of</strong> 3,5<br />
or 6 millimeters is bonded inseparably to a stable<br />
buttom-layer <strong>of</strong> 6 millimeters made <strong>of</strong> birch-plywood.<br />

If you look at it superficially, BOEN is the first<br />
choice in any way! It is exactly the one for the<br />
competent entry ...<br />
Prestige: Walnut<br />
For the grand entrance – <strong>The</strong> surface.<br />
ConneXProcess –<br />
Surface technique<br />
With the focus on stability and<br />
durability. Contrary to the common<br />
technologies – first mill, then seal –<br />
the BOEN raw floorboard is first<br />
sealed, then the parquet element is<br />
milled with the tongue and groove<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>ile. This is one argument.<br />
<strong>The</strong> other one is: <strong>The</strong> outstanding<br />
machining <strong>of</strong> the parquet element.<br />
It is truely masterly. A precise<br />
cutting <strong>of</strong> tongue and groove.<br />
An exact joint. Flawless edges.<br />
Razor-sharp transitions and a plane<br />
surface.<br />
This is the reason why we have<br />
given a proper name to our new<br />
technique. BOEN ConneXProcess –<br />
BOEN stands for masterpiece.<br />
ConneXProcess for exact<br />
connection, efficient laying and<br />
a plane surface.<br />
Protekt Ultra – laquering<br />
A perfect sealing is an essential<br />
aspect for highly frequented areas.<br />
Dust, soiling and humidity are<br />
prevented from intruding by a<br />
highly abrasion-pro<strong>of</strong> sealing with<br />
Protekt Ultra which is applied by<br />
the manufacturer. While the work<br />
for cleaning is considerably reduced,<br />
the lifetime and durability <strong>of</strong> the<br />
parquet increases. Cristal-clear -<br />
BOEN Protekt Ultra, is by the way<br />
an ecological product as it is free<br />
from solvents and formaldehyde,<br />
guarantees an untarnished view<br />
on the natural colour <strong>of</strong> the wood.<br />
<strong>The</strong> dreaded effect <strong>of</strong> orange skin<br />
is prevented from.<br />
Ecoline<br />
<strong>The</strong> oil-treated parquet!<br />
Ecoline is a really natural product<br />
which does not leave anything to<br />
be requested. <strong>The</strong> result <strong>of</strong> the particular<br />
production process is a natural<br />
satin-finished surface. For allergic<br />
persons it is important to know<br />
that the substances <strong>of</strong> content <strong>of</strong><br />
the oil used by BOEN are natural<br />
products: sun flower oil, soy bean<br />
oil, Carnauba wax and components<br />
based on beeswax. Biologically<br />
recommended for constructions.<br />
And last but not least: <strong>The</strong> surface<br />
is hydrophobic, dirt-resistant, easy to<br />
clean, smear-resistant and resistant<br />
against stains. Please don’t hesitate<br />
to ask further questions.<br />
Naturally oiled – Parquet flooring<br />
as natural as we like it.<br />
Our parquet floorings are pre-oiled<br />
by the manufacturer in a traditional<br />
way using the new natural oil. We<br />
take our time to oxidatively dry the<br />
oiled strips. After having installed<br />
the flooring, the surface will again<br />
Prestige: Panga-Panga<br />
be finished by your installer using<br />
BOEN natural oil. Naturally oiled<br />
surfaces emphasizes the character<br />
<strong>of</strong> the wood, they shine mat and<br />
give the parquet flooring a quite<br />
natural haptic. With the flooring<br />
being quite natural, it is not necessary<br />
to renounce optimum protection.<br />
If the flooring is regularly cared,<br />
the parquet surface won't get worn<br />
by dust, dirt and humidity. Please<br />
ask us for our special cleaning and<br />
maintenance products. <strong>The</strong> production<br />
is performed according to your<br />
order and there-fore it is necessary<br />
to plan longer delivery times.<br />
Unfinished<br />
Upon request any Prestige, Traffic<br />
and ShipStyle floor is available with<br />
an untreated hardwood top layer.<br />
If you also have particular ideas<br />
concerning the surface treatment<br />
you may take over yourself the<br />
sealing according to your wishes<br />
and requirements.<br />
Perfect!<br />
Not only in our opinion...<br />

Maxi: Eiche<br />
With Prestige you will be be happy anywhere - in new buildings and<br />
old buildings it is suitable in any way. Another reason is the subsoil:<br />
No matter if you want to lay it on an underfloor heating or on a<br />
cement screed. You may lay Prestige anywhere...<br />
Let’s go! – so easily you will lay your desired flooring<br />
UNDERFLOOR HEATING<br />
<strong>The</strong> laying<br />
You may indeed lay Prestige on any<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essionally prepared subsoil:<br />
on cement-, anhydrite-, mastic<br />
asphalt- and dry screeds as well<br />
as on flake- and plywood boards.<br />
But what means pr<strong>of</strong>essional? – This<br />
means that the subsoil is tested -–<br />
if necessary prepared - for laying<br />
according to DIN 18365 for flooring<br />
works and according to DIN 18356<br />
for parquet works.<br />
You have to especially pay attention<br />
to the evenness conforming to<br />
standards in order to prevent from<br />
hollow spaces. Short planks may<br />
serve to compensate the height.<br />
<strong>The</strong> low installation height <strong>of</strong><br />
maximum 12 millimeters makes<br />
<strong>of</strong> Prestige the ideal parquet for<br />
renovation. Low heights <strong>of</strong> doors<br />
or rooms are not displacing.<br />
<strong>The</strong> little thickness even allowes<br />
a combination with textile and<br />
ceramic flooring <strong>of</strong> the same height.<br />
CEMENT COATING<br />
Due to a convenient resistance <strong>of</strong><br />
heat passage the pre-conditions<br />
for laying on hot water underfloor<br />
heating are extremely good. Longterm<br />
researches <strong>of</strong> the “Fraunh<strong>of</strong>er<br />
Institute” for wood research have<br />
certified this to BOEN - this means<br />
also to Prestige and all its variants.<br />
It is recommended to use pre-coats,<br />
equalization masses and adhesives<br />
<strong>of</strong> one manufacturer; this <strong>of</strong>fers best<br />
possible certainty.<br />
A parquet flooring is only laid<br />
perfectly when all the transisions<br />
to a adjacent room s and walls are<br />
designed matching to the parquet<br />
flooring. <strong>The</strong>refore we <strong>of</strong>fer you a<br />
large range <strong>of</strong> accessoires: matching<br />
skirtings for any <strong>of</strong> our wood types,<br />
mouldings, stair nosing.<br />

<strong>The</strong> packing<br />
We talk about an “overall-carefreeparquet”<br />
as each pack is thoroughly<br />
sorted according to left-hand and<br />
right-hand strips. Simply turn the<br />
box upside down and the laying<br />
goes almost without saying.<br />
A rapid and simple laying is not<br />
disturbed. This is another reason<br />
why Prestige is so popular among<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essionals.<br />
