Beautiful and easy-to-lay parquet floors
Parquet
Bjelin’s sawmill is situated in the middle of the world-famous Slavonian forests in northern Croatia, known for their high quality oak. The high quality oak is suitable for plank widths of up to 20 cm and is available in grades ranging from almost no knots to vibrant, rustic planks.
Oak Grades
The natural pattern and colour of the oak varies greatly. Therefore, the planks are sorted into grades so that you can choose exactly the look that suits your interior design.
Modern Parquet Floors
Traditional solid wood floors do not meet the requirements of a modern home. Wood is hygroscopic, i.e. wood has the ability to absorb moisture from the air and therefore adapts to the humidity in the surrounding air. In other words, each wood fibre swells when the humidity increases and shrinks when the amount of water in the air decreases.
For example, when planks cup, shrink and swell, gaps may form between planks. In addition, it is not economical to use high-grade timber for the parts of the floor that are not visible.
A hydrostatically stable floor can, for example, be achieved by having several layers of wood in the floor where the different layers have different fibre directions or by one of the layers consisting of
a wood fibreboard. In a wood fibreboard, the wood fibres are randomly scattered, giving the material more homogeneous properties. Due to its hydroscopic properties, a parquet floor also creates equilibrium in air humidity.
