ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF INSTALLATION
THE ADVANTAGES OF INSTALLING
PARQUET USING THE FLOATING
METHOD
•Quick and simple
•Easier to insulate against
stepping sound
• Can be installed on most types of
self-supporting sub-flooring
•Easier to insulate against damp
in the sub-floor
Disadvantages:
• Only a limited area can be
installed without dividing up the
floor
• The parquet must be allowed
freedom of movement - walls
must not be mounted on the
floor
•Each room should be installed
individually (not continuous)
• This method requires a precisely
level and smooth sub-floor
• High reverberation, especially
when used in connection with
good sound proofing against
stepping sound
PARQUET GLUED TO THE SUB-FLOOR
• A very stable floor
• It can withstand a greater
fluctuation in climate
• Very good acoustics in the room
(very little reverberation)
• Can be installed over a large area
without dividing up the floor
• Can be installed continuously
between rooms without divided
up the floor
Disadvantages:
• Requires thorough drying of the
concrete, which must not exceed
65 % RH
• Sub-floor wood sheeting should
be installed at a 45o angle to the
parquet
• Installation costs are usually
higher
• Stepping sound is higher
PARQUET BY NAILING IT TO THE SUBFLOOR
over several rooms
• Withstands more deviation in the
sub-flooring
• Walls can be mounted on the
floor
Disadvantages:
•Fluctuating quality in the
chipboard can lead to bad
attachment to the nails
• A danger of floors producing
creaking sounds
NAILING/SCREWING TO BEAMS/JOISTS:
• Saves on sub-flooring
between rooms without the need
to divide up the floors
• Walls can be mounted on the
floor
Disadvantages:
• Relatively high reverberation and
stepping sound

WORTH KNOWING
CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
The moisture content of wood
is regulated by the relative
humidity (RH) in the room,
which is related to the “dry”
and “moist” temperature. In the
more Southern and Northern
hemispheres, the climate is subject
to a wide degree of variation from
summer to winter. This also has
effects indoors, especially in the
winter and particularly during
a very cold spell, when RH can
be as low as 10 - 15 %. In public
buildings (offices, etc.) where
there are stringent ventilation
requirements and where the air
is being continually replaced, the
relative humidity can be as low as
10 %. All interior woodwork dries
to the equivalent humidity of the
surrounding air, causing shrinkage
and the formation of cracks. It is
therefore of great advantage to
supply moisture to the air. By doing
this, both we and our plants will
be much more comfortable. Use a
humidifier or simply fill a container
with water and place it on a source
of heat.
Parquet is manufactured with a
moisture content of approx. 7.5 %,
which accommodates a climate of
approx. 40 % RH at 20 °C.
It is especially important
7
that during and shortly after
installation, the area is not
exposed to a high degree of RH
(recommended RH 30 - 60 %). The
high moisture content of a building
or the addition of moisture will
cause the parquet to expand,
which, in dry periods, can lead to
gaps forming between boards
(strips).
UNDER-FLOOR HEATING
There are various types of underfloor heating on the market,
utilising both electricity and water.
We are unable to cover individual
types, but a common factor for
under-floor heating is that the
heating effect must not exceed 60
W/m2 and the surface temperature
of the sub-floor must not exceed
+27 °C. The system must be
thermostatically controlled and
installed in such a way that it
produces an even output over the
whole surface. In the case of waterborne heat, we recommend that
the water pipes are laid transvers
to the direction that the parquet
is to be laid. The wood species
Beech, Maple and Jatoba should
not be used together with underfloor heating, as these are more
sensitive to the strain produced by
this type of heating.
8
WORTH KNOWING
NB! It is important that rugs placed
on the parquet do not have rubber
or other dense materials on the
underside, as this isolates the heat
under the rug and can damage the
parquet.
SOUND
Sound is measured in decibel (dB).
It is necessary to differentiate
between the sound made by
footsteps and reverberation.
Stepping sound is the sound
perceived (measured) in the
room directly under the parquet.
Reverberation is the sound in the
actual room. Building Authority
requirements to curb stepping
sound in a building, consisting of
several apartments, is subject to
special measures.
Good insulation against stepping
sound often results in higher
reverberation within the room,
because sound is insulated from
carrying to underlying rooms. Good
acoustics in the actual room are
obtained by gluing the parquet
to the concrete, on condition that
extra sound-proofing is installed
in the ceiling joists below, to
counteract the penetration of
stepping-sound.
In office buildings and the like, the
panelled ceiling is often lowered to
allow for piping, cabling, etc. and
this also acts as insulation against
stepping-sounds.
The construction of the building,
configuration, quality and
dimensions are important factors
and of great importance for
good acoustics. Consultants and
architects should therefore be
consulted.
For more information on underlay
see page 94.
WORTH KNOWING
PARQUET IN PUBLIC PLACES
There are often greater
requirements to flooring in the
public sector or non-residential
buildings than in the private
housing sector. Requirements for
the floors’ “total qualities” should
be defined, so as to enable the
correct products and method
of installation to be chosen. By
this, we do not just mean the
appearance of the floor (grading),
but the functionality of the floor.
A floor should be able to cope with
heavy strain, have the flexibility to
help find interior solutions and to
be workable with respect to future
refurbishment, as well as having
good acoustic qualities.
There are many factors which
must be taken into consideration.
Installing standard parquet
floating, using the same method as
is used in the private sector, is not
the best solution.
Floating floors are the simplest
and most reasonable solution
for installing parquet, but is
often not the optimum choice
for non-residential buildings. For
example, there are limitations to
9
the size and configuration of the
floor. A floating floor can cause
relatively high reverberation and
the acoustics in a room, where a
great deal of people reside and
move around can be a problem. It is
also necessary for a floor installed
floating, to be able to “float” freely.
Should the movement of the floor
be restricted due to the installation
of walls, counters, heavy
furnishings, etc. it is no longer a
floating floor and this can lead to
sectional splitting of the floor.
The inner climate of public
buildings is often very dry and can
be as low as 10 % RH during the
coldest times of the year, due to
ventilation requirements. To enable
parquet to withstand such strains
without splitting means that only
high quality products must be
used. Solid wood flooring “moves”
more than 3-layer stabilised
parquet flooring. Requirements
for the inner climate are therefore
greater, in respect to solid wood
flooring.
10
WORTH KNOWING
Parquet should be glued to the
sub-floor to enhance both the
stability of the floor and the
buildings’ flexibility, with respect
to furnishings, positioning of
walls etc. not forgetting acoustic
conditions.
A parquet floor glued to concrete
has especially good reverberation
properties.
Special attention should be paid
to the fact that parquet glued to
concrete causes higher stepping
sound penetration in the room
below. This is not normally a
problem as the floor below usually
has a lowered panelled ceiling
which greatly helps to insulate
stepping sound.
BOEN has products which are
well suited for gluing to the subfloor, irrespective of whether the
requirements are for stability,
designer floors or life expectancy
of the floor.
ADVANTAGES OF GLUING PARQUET TO
CONCRETE
• Very stable.
•Flexible, with the view to
furnishing solutions
• Walls etc. can be mounted on the
parquet
• Withstands greater changes in
climate
• Very good acoustic
• Can be installed over larger areas
without the need for the floor to
be divided up
between rooms without the floor
being divided up

GENERAL INFORMATION
BOEN X-press is installed without
the use of adhesive or other
means of attachment. Our quality
controllers have sorted and graded
the parquet. Should there be any
doubt concerning grading and/
or visual defects, it is important
that claims be made prior to the
parquet being installed. Remember
that the finished result is the
responsibility of the installer. Wood
is a natural product with natural
variations in colour and structure.
CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
BOEN parquet is dried to 7.5 %
± 1 % moisture content, which is
equal to the moisture content of
furniture wood. It is therefore a
matter of course that the building
is heated and dry. All windows
and doors must be in place and
all brick-work, rendering and
concreting finished well in advance
of the parquet being installed.
The room must be heated to a
minimum of 15 °C and relative
humidity (RH) between 30 and
60 %. Ensure that the room is kept
temperate after the parquet is
installed and that relative humidity
(RH) remains between 30 and
60 %. The parquet must be stored
dry and the packaging must not be
opened until the parquet is to be
installed.
SUB-FLOORING OF CHIPBOARD,
PLYWOOD AND FLOOR-BOARDS
The sub-floor must be dry, level and
self-supporting. The tolerance limit
is ± 3mm per 2 running metres.
Approved sub-flooring is 22mm
chipboard, 19mm plywood or
21mm floor-boarding. When using
the third alternative it is important
that the parquet is installed at
right angles to the floor-boards.
Diagonally installed floor-boards
and cleft floor boarding for use
with under-floor heating systems
must be 28mm thick. The moisture
content of the sub-floor must not
exceed 12 %. Any irregular sounds
or faults in the sub-floor must be
11
12
corrected before the parquet is
installed.
One layer of builders’ paper, or
other suitable underlay should be
laid between the sub-floor and
parquet, to avoid friction sounds.
Please note that glue free methods
require a firmer underlay than glued
down. The density of the underlay
should be a minimum of approx.
50 kg/m3.
SUB-FLOORING OF REINFORCED
CONCRETE OR LIGHT-WEIGHT CONCRETE
Concrete sub-floors must be level
and devoid of cement lumps etc.
The tolerance limit is ± 3mm per 2
running metres.
The concrete must be thoroughly
dry. There are 2 different methods
practiced internationally for
measuring the moisture content of
concrete:
a)The relative humidity (RH) of the
concrete should be less than
90 %.
b)When using the CM-method the
humidity of the concrete should
not exceed 2 %.
A 0.20mm thick plastic foil must
always be laid on the concrete to
insulate against any remaining
damp. In addition to this, a
layer of builders’ paper or other
suitable parquet underlay (2mm
polyethylene foam, cork etc.)
should be laid between the plastic
foil and parquet.
More information relating to
underlay on page 94.
EXISTING FLOOR COVERING
Floor coverings of linoleum, vinyl,
plastic etc. do not need to be removed, but a layer of builders’
paper should be laid between
them and the parquet. Thin, firm
carpet e.g. needle felt is, in itself, a
good underlay for parquet, but for
reasons of hygiene we recommend
that this be removed. All other
types of carpet must be removed.
NB! Check that the sub-floor is level.
UNDER-FLOOR HEATING
under-floor heating is that the
heating effect must not exceed 60
W/m2 and the surface temperature
of the sub-floor must not exceed
+27 °C. The system must be
whole surface. In the case of waterborne heat, we recommend that
the water pipes are laid transvers
to the direction that the parquet
is to be laid. The wood species
parquet.
SOUND-PROOFING
perceived measured in the room
directly under the parquet.
Reverberation is the sound in the
actual room.
Requirements by Building
Authorities, to curb stepping
several apartments, are subject to
special requirements. The quality,
plus construction of a building
along with its dimensions are all
important factors contributing to
the final result. Consultants and
consulted.
FINISHING TREATMENT
The surface of BOEN X-press Clic
is pre-finished with lacquer or oil.
The AS-lacquer (anti-scratch) is
UV hardened, extremely scratch
resistant and very durable.
Lacquering immediately after
installation is not recommended,
unless due to special
circumstances. In which case,
please see page 68.
Oiled floors require more
frequent maintenance than
lacquered floors. We recommend
our cleaning and maintenance
products for the various surfaces.
The most efficient method of
cleaning the floor is to use a dry
mop or vacuum cleaner. If it is
deemed necessary to wash the
floor, it is important to limit the
use of water. Do not allow water to
dry on the surface of the parquet.
When treating unfinished parquet,
use purpose-made products.
NB: Other rules and regulations
apply when treating/maintaining
parquet in sporting facilities, office
buildings or other public places. For
further information, please contact
BOEN.
Check the sub-floors and the
climatic conditions (see General
Instructions on page 7)
13
14
Vacuum the sub-floor prior to
installation. Use an approved
underlay with the correct density.
More information concerning
underlay on page 94.
1. Lay the first board with the
tongue towards the wall and the
groove outwards. There must
be a clearance to the wall of
at least 8 - 10mm, (1.5mm per
meter room width). Using the
starting wall as reference, snap
chalk line on the sub-floor. Align
straight edge (BOEN board or
any solid material with straight
edge) with chalk line and secure
to sub-floor. The first row is laid
along this line.
2.-4. The next board is installed at
an angle (approx. 30°) against
the end- joint and pressed down.
By pressing the board down at
the end, the tongue will yield
and “lock” the boards together.
Continue in this way until the
first row is installed.
5.-7. The second row starts with
the off-cut from the first row,
which must be a minimum of
50cm. Ensure that all overlaps
are a minimum of 40cm.
8.-11. The next board is laid
slanting. Give the board a light
tap with a wooden block while
pressing down gently. Work
form right to left, knocking
lightly. To finish, use solid
pressure over the end join, so
that the tongue yields and locks
the boards together.
12.-14. The last board to be laid
into the wall must be at least
50mm.
15.-16. Apertures for piping etc.
must be made as spacious as
possible so as to allow the free
movement of the floor. The
apertures are then covered by
pipe collars.
Place Peel &
Stick Floor
Protectors on
furniture legs
to prevent
damage to
the parquet.
Skirting boards should be fastened
to the wall.
Parquet in corridors must be
installed in a longitudinal direction.

LAYING INSTRUCTION TONGUE & GROOVE
1. Lay the first board with groove
towards the wall and tongue
outwards. There should be a
clearance of at least 8 - 10mm
along the walls, (1.5mm per
metre room width) and simply
adjust after 3 - 4 rows of boards
have be installed. Use wooden
blocks/wedges as distance
pieces.
2. It is important to be especially
careful when installing the first
row. Use a string to check.
3. Start the second row using the
off-cut from the previous row,
which must be a minimum of
40cm. Check that all overlaps are
a minimum of 40cm.
4. When installing a floating floor,
the adhesive is applied to the
tongue and groove. Place the
adhesive on the top edge of the
groove (towards the hardwood
surface) as near the outer edge
as possible. The tongue will
spread the adhesive inwards and
give a good adhesive surface.
The short ends do not need
adhesive.
5. Use a tapping tool to knock the
boards together, by doing this
the edges will not be damaged.
When 3 rows of boards have
been installed, check that all
joins (also end joins) are tight
and even. You can then be sure
that the alignment is correct.
6. Apertures for piping etc. must be
made as spacious as possible so
as to allow the free movement
of the floor. The apertures are
then covered by pipe collars.
7. When installing the last row
against the wall, place the
final board exactly over the
penultimate board, and the
correct width is obtained by
using an off-cut as a template
against the wall.
8. Parquet in corridors must be
installed in a longitudinal
direction.
9. Skirting boards should be
fastened to the wall.

GLUE-DOWN METHOD
GLUE-DOWN METHOD
It is possible to use the glue-down
method on most sub-floors:
concrete, wood, chipboard,
plywood and plaster boards. As
always, the sub-floor must be
dry, even and self-supporting.
The tolerance limit is ± 3mm per
2 running metres. The moisture
content of a wooden sub-floor
must not exceed 10 % or 65 %
moisture content in a concrete
sub-floor. To ensure against
damp, a moisture barrier must be
embedded into the surface of the
concrete and the concrete surface
should also be safeguarded with a
moisture primer.
BOEN can offer Bona
R410,moisture primer
(2-components) and Bona R850, an
elasticn single component silicon
based adhesive, which is suitable
for the majority of sub-floors.
These products do not contain
water or organic solvents.
When using MS Polymer adhesive,
certain suppliers accept adhesive
with a RH in the concrete of max.
85 %. However, one should be
aware of the fact that even a
small amount of adhesive which
accidentally gets onto the surface
of the parquet can cause poor
adhesion for lacquer if and when
the floor is re-lacquered at a later
stage.
When installing parquet onto
wood boards or flooring sheets
which must be attached to the
sub-floor, the parquet must be
glued down, either at a 45o angle
or diagonally to the underlay but
never parallel with the longitudinal
direction.
When using water based adhesive
(dispersion adhesive), the floor
must not walked on before the
adhesive has hardened (approx.
24 hours). Therefore, during
installation, it is necessary stand
on the sub-floor and not on the
parquet. Priming of the sub-floor
should always be carried out to
bind dust.
NB! Water based (dispersion)
adhesive should not be used when
installing solid wood flooring.
OBS! When using the glue down
method, it is important to glue only
to the sub-floor and NOT in the
tongue and groove.
GLUE-DOWN METHOD
A course toothed putty knife is
used to spread the adhesive. When
installing the parquet, do not
spread out more adhesive, than
can be used within the space of 15
- 20 minutes.
There are several types of machines
on the market, for spreading
adhesive, either directly on to the
sub-floor or on the reverse side of
the parquet. The use of machinery
for spreading adhesive yields a
higher grade of quality assurance,
than is obtained by manual
means. It also makes the job easier.
Machines can be loaned from
machine stockists. Some adhesive
stockists will lend machines along
with the purchase of adhesive.
In addition, the general
instructions prevail for parquet
floors.
Flooring glued to the sub-floor is
very stable and can withstand a lot
of strain. Walls, heavy furnishings
etc. can be placed on the parquet
without the danger of the floor
cracking which can be the case,
when using the normal floating
method of installation.
23
It is a great advantage especially in
public buildings, that the parquet
does not hinder the mounting of
heavy furnishings, counters, walls
etc. Just as important, are the very
good audio properties achieved
with this form of installation.
Reverberation is considerably
improved, compared with a
floating floor. Reverberation will
not cause any interference to the
surrounding, where premises are
exposed to a lot of traffic.

the sub-floor, must NOT be glued in
the tongue/groove connection.
The choice of adhesive is
dependent on the type of subfloor and the conditions based on
the design of the building. Only
specially recommended adhesive
should be used, i.e. adhesive
containing the minimum amount
of water.
BOEN recommend Bona R410
moisture primer to safegueard
against moisture in the concrete
and Bona R850, an elastic
1-component silane based
adhesive which is suitable for the
majority of sub-floors.
The adhesive should be used in
accordance with the manufactures
instructions.
Do not spread out more adhesive,
than can be used within the space
of 10 - 15 minutes.
See the general recommendations
for BOEN X-press on page 11.
Installation instructions are on
page 26.

Check the sub-flooring and the
climate conditions (see general
instructions on page 7). Sweep or
vacuum the sub-floor thoroughly
before commencing installation.
Use an approved underlay with
the correct density. For more information on underlay, see page 94.
1. Lay the first board with the
tongue towards the wall and the
groove facing outwards. BOEN
recommends a clearance to the
wall of min. 8- 10mm (1.5mm
per meter room width). Using
the starting wall as reference,
snap a chalk line on sub-floor.
Align straight edge (BOEN
board or any solid material with
straight edge) with chalk line
and secure to sub-floor. Start
with the tongue side facing wall
and the long groove side directly
up against straight edge.
2.-4. Spread adhesive enough to
cover one board width. Use only
as much adhesive as can be used
during manufacturer’s “open
time” for the adhesive.
Lay board onto the adhesive.
The next board is installed at an
angle (approx. 30°) against the
end-joint and pressed down.
By pressing the board down at
the end, the tongue will yield
and “lock” the boards together.
Continue in this way until the
first row is installed.
5.-7. Start the second row with
the off-cut from the first row,
which must be a minimum
length of 50cm. Click this board
to the previous row. Ensure that
all overlaps are a minimum of
40cm.
8.-11. Give the board a light tap
with a wooden block while
pressing down gently. Work
from right to left, tapping gently.
Finish with a harder tap over
the end join, so that the tongue
yields and locks the boards
together.
12.-14. The last row of boards,
against the wall, must be a
minimum of 50mm.
15.-16. Apertures for piping etc.
must be made as spacious as
possible so as to allow for free
movement of the floor. The
apertures are then covered by
pipe collars.
Place Peel &
Stick Floor
Protectors on
furniture legs
to prevent
damage to
the parquet.
Skirting boards should be fastened
to the wall.
Parquet in corridors must be
installed in a longitudinal direction.

especially in new buildings. If, for
some reason this is not the case,
then it is important that the
parquet is protected with a covering,
until the work is completed, e.g.
BOEN protective carboard.
SCOPES OF DESIGN
There are numerous design options
open to you when using Prestige
and Traffic strips e.g. squares,
herringbone pattern, single, double
or triple strips, brickbond pattern,
classic longstrip pattern installed
diagonally or parallel to the wall.
Due to the large variety of wood
types and designs that can be
mixed together, it is important to
plan carefully. As the Prestige strip
is of similar height to other types
of floor covering e.g. ceramic tiles/
textile flooring, it makes it simple
to butt edges together.
Maxi is mainly installed in a single
strip pattern and has a format
which is specially suitable in larger
lounges and spacious premises.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Our experts have sorted and
graded the parquet. Should there
be any doubt concerning grading
and/or visual faults, it is important
that claims be made before the
parquet is installed. Remember
CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
The multi-layer hardwood flooring
strips are packed in PE film in
a cardboard box and must be
treated with care in order to
avoid damage. It is imperative to
protect the cartons from moisture
during transportation and storage.
The cartons must be stacked
horizontally. Recommended
storage temperature: 18°C. Parquet
is a natural product which attracts
moisture and in a room with high
RH, it can absorb the moisture,
which causes the wood to expand.
29
30
During the 72 hours prior to
and after installation of the
parquet, the RH in the room must
not exceed 65 % and the room
temperature must not fall below
18 °C. The floor surface should be
a minimum of 15 °C. The strips
should be stored in the room in
which they are to be installed
for at least 48 hours before the
packaging is opened.
SUB-FLOOR REQUIREMENTS
10mm/ 11.5mm multi-layer
hardwood flooring can be
glued to any professionally
installed sub-floor. This includes
concrete and screed, as well as
chipboard or plywood boards.
The sub-floor must meet the
normal requirements for the
installation of any hardwood
flooring, i.e. dry, level, even, selfsupporting and clean. After any
necessary improvements have
been made to the sub-floor the
hardwood flooring is ready for
installation in accordance with
the appropriate standards and
technical specifications. Special
care must be given to the evenness
of the sub-floor so as to avoid air
pockets as short-strip hardwood
flooring cannot compensate for
any fluctuation in the sub-floor.
For open pores in concrete subfloor and other imperfections
we recommend using a suitable
levelling compound, specially
designed for use with hardwood
flooring. These products must
be used in accordance with the
manufacturers’ instructions.
NB! All existing plastic and textile
floor coverings must be removed.
MAXIMUM DEGREE OF HUMIDITY
Concrete floor max. 2.0 % (1.8 % on
under-floor heating systems)
Anhydrite screed max. 0.5 % (0.3 %
on under-floor heating systems)
UNDER-FLOOR HEATING
With a thermal resistance of only
0.07 W/m2, the 10mm 1-strip,
multi-layer hardwood flooring is
suitable for gluing to a sub-floor
which incorporates an underfloor heating system. The heating
effect must not exceed 60W/
m². The surface temperature of
the hardwood flooring must not
exceed 27 °C.
The system must be
whole surface. The wood species
parquet.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
The surface of the hardwood
flooring is pre-finished at the
factory using either lacquer
or oil. The anti-scratch lacquer
Protect-Ultra is UV hardened,
extremely scratch-resistant and
very durable. Oiled floors require
more frequent maintenance
than lacquered floors. Lacquering
immediately after installation is
not recommended unless due to
special circumstances. In which
case, see page 68.
We recommend our special
cleaning and maintenance
products for the various types of
floor surfaces. The most efficient
method of cleaning the floor is
using a dry mop or vacuum cleaner.
If it is necessary to wash the floor
use a moist mop and do not allow
water to dry on the surface of the
floor.
GLUING
The 10mm/ 11.5mm 1-strip, multilayer hardwood flooring must
always be glued directly to the
sub-floor. The tongue and groove
must NOT be glued. The choice
of adhesive is dependent on the
type of sub-floor and conditions
associated with the building’s
construction.
Only adhesive that is specifically
recommended for engineered
hardwood flooring should be
used i.e. adhesive containing the
minimum amount of water BOEN
recommend Bona R410 moisture
primer to safegueard against
moisture in the concrete and Bona
R850, an elastic 1-component
silane based adhesive which is
suitable for the majority of subfloors.
The adhesive should be
applied in accordance with the
manufactureres instructions.
The adhesive is applied using a
course toothed spatula. Do not
apply more adhesive than can be
“worked” in the course of 10 - 15
minutes.
31
32
PLANNING - CHOICE OF PATTERN, REFERENCE MARKINGS AND PROJECTILES
The laying out of the hardwood
flooring must be carefully
considered before beginning the
installation process.
This will depend on the type of
pattern chosen. When choosing the
long-strip, brickbond in a regular or
irregular pattern; it is an advantage
to install the strips lengthwise
to the main source of light, so as
to take into account the angle of
incidence.
When other patterns are chosen,
installation should begin at
the centre of the room which is
determined by laying out guide
strings from opposite walls. It is
essential that an expansion gap
of 8 - 10mm is left between the
edge of the floor and all walls and
projectiles.
The apertures are then covered
by pipe collars and/or filled with
elastic silicon based sealant.
To avoid “curving” in larger rooms,
it is advisable to use a template
during installation. To avoid
so-called, bow tension, i.e. gaps
forming between strips in large
rooms, a staggered installation
is recommended. For å få et godt
sluttresultat er det meget viktig at
man er nøye når man legger den
første raden med staver. Stavene
legges alltid inn mot limet foran
forrige rad og skyves og roteres
på plass langs siden og enden på
hver stav.
INSTALLING A REGULAR PATTERN - LONGSTRIP/ BRICKBOND
Using a straight edged timber,
draw a guideline for installation,
which is an equivalent width of
4 - 6 strips, plus an expansion gap
of 8 - 10mm.
Further installation should only
continue after the adhesive under
this area of the floor has adhered
sufficiently (refer to the adhesive
manufacturers’ instructions).
Begin installation against the wall,
with the tongue facing towards the
wall. Place distance wedges along
the wall, to ensure an expansion
gap of 8 - 10mm between the wall
and the first row of hardwood
flooring. Once the area between
the wall and the guideline has
been completed the distance
wedges should be removed.
When installing a patterned floor it
is important that rows of either left
or right hand strip are completed
before commencing on the next
row. (This applies only to long-strip
patterns.)
33
34
DIAGONAL INSTALLATION OF REGULAR AND IRREGULAR PATTERNS
For this type of pattern; installation
must begin in the centre of the
room. Firstly locate the diagonal
centre of the room and screw,
nail or glue a guide board along
this line. Commence installation
along this board with the tongue
facing the guide board. Remember
to allow for an expansion gap of
8 - 10mm between the hardwood
flooring and walls.
Once the first half of the floor is
complete, remove the guideboard,
first checking that the adhesive
is sufficiently set (refer to
the adhesive manufactures’
instructions). Commence
installation of the remaining half
of the floor.
NB! To ensure a uniform appearance
when laying either a straight or
diagonal floor it is advisable that
after the first 4 - 6 rows are in place,
that the strips are then installed
staggered.
INSTALLING THE HERRINGBONE PATTERN
Firstly, stretch a guide string along
the rooms’ centre line. Starting
at the nearest wall and following
the central guide string, begin
installing the strips according to
the chosen pattern - single, double
or triple herringbone.
The apex of the herringbone
pattern must be exactly in line
with the guide string.
Once this area of hardwood
flooring has adhered sufficiently to
the sub-floor (refer to the adhesive
manufacturers’ instructions), it
can be used as a template for the
remainder of the floor.
Remember to allow an expansion
gap of 8 - 10mm between the
hardwood flooring and the walls.
NB! Check the guide string regularly
during installation.

INSTALLING SQUARES OR CHESSBOARD PATTERN
90°
90°
90°
90°
It is important to ensure that the
overall visual affect is esthetic. If
the room is relatively small then
begin installation at the centre
point of the wall. If the room is
large, begin in the centre.
Remember to allow an 8 - 10mm
expansion gap along all walls.
When starting along the wall, fix a
90° angle template to the sub-floor
at the centre point of the wall.
When installation begins in the
centre of the room, start by finding
the centre point of the room and
fix a template to the floor at this
point, parallel to the wall.
Each square is made up of 7 strips.
Start installing the strips in the
corner of the template, completing
1 square at a time. The second
square is installed at right angles
to the first square. Install approx.
1 m² and allow hardwood flooring
to adhere to the sub-floor (refer
to the adhesive manufacturers’
instructions), before removing the
perpendicular board.
Continue installation from the
centre point but in the opposite
direction, working in a staggered
pattern outwards towards the
walls.
NB! Check the guide string regularly
during installation.
SQUARES INCORPORATING DECORATIVE ELEMENTS
Installation is the same as for
squares, but using the decor
squares (68 x 68mm) at the corners
along with 476mm decor strips, to
form a frame around the 7-strip
squares.

SOLID PLANK 20MM
BOEN SOLID PLANK
attached to the sub-floor
20mm Solid Oak Plank is
manufactured pre-oiled in widths
of 137mm, 162mm and 187mm
and in 5 types:
Traditional - Simple and robust,
but with the noble and superior
characteristics of genuine solid
wood plank. The classic variant in
solid wood plank comes with the
surface pre-finished with oil.
Antique - Solid wood flooring
with a distinctive appearance of
years of wear. In addition to the
rough grading, a dark stain has
been applied to the wood and the
surface is pre-finished with natural
oil.
Historical - Exceedingly rustic
appearance giving the solid wood
plank an ancient appearance. Any
irregularities in the oak wood are
plugged and fille dusing genuine
handwork. A dark stain is applied
to the wood and the surface is prefinished with natural oil.
Stonewashed Grey - Brushed,
stained and pre-finished with
natural oil. The surface is treated
with grey colouration which
creaties an unique floor where
the growth-rings in the wood are
accentuate .
Chocolate - Brushed, stained and
pre-finished with natural oil. A
dark stained rustic variety which
goes well with light and elegant
interiors.
SURFACE TREATMENT
Solid Wood Plank is pre-treated
with natural oil (oxidising oil).
Maintenance is carried out
using Osmo Hardwax Oil or an
equivalent oil (oxidising oil). We
recommend the application of a
single coat of maintenance oil after
installation of the floor, before it is
exposed to traffic.
Daily cleaning should be carried
out using the dry cleaning method
i.e. vacuum cleaner or dry mop.
When it is necessary to wash
the floor, mix BOEN Floor Soap,
Osmo Wash and Care 8016 or an
equivalent fatty, weak alkaline
soap in the water. Use a well wrung
cloth.
SOLID PLANK 20MM
IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW ABOUT
INSTALLATION
Solid wood plank must NOT be
glued in the tongue and groove to
make a “floating floor”. It must be
attached to the sub-floor by means
of adhesive, nails or screws. When
using nails/screws the plank must
be pre-drilled to avoid the tongue
from splitting.
39
INSTALLED ON A WOODEN SUB-FLOOR
With a sub-floor of wooden planks
or wood sheeting, a layer of
builders’ paper must first be laid
before nailing or screwing to the
sub-floor. Use the same dimension
of nail and screw as stated in
the above mentioned paragraph
concerning Joists/Supports. The
plank is installed with clearance to
all walls and fixed projections of
min.3mm per metre room width.
INSTALLATION ON CONCRETE
INSTALLED DIRECTLY ON JOISTS/SUPPORTS
20mm solid wood plank can also
be nailed or screwed to beams
and joists, installed at intervals
of 60cm for residential purposes.
We recommend that a layer of
builders’ paper is laid between the
joists and solid wood boards to
prevent squeaking sounds when
the floor is walked on, see page 94.
Floors exposed to heavier loads/
traffic, should not have a larger
c/c distance than 40cm. Loose
battening must have a minimum
dimension of 36x68mm, and fixed
battening 36x48mm. Use 4.2 x
57mm electro-galvanised screws
(for hard wood).
OBS! Solid plank shall be glued in
the short ends. Remember to keep a
clearance of 3mm per metre room
width to walls and other salients.
With a concrete sub-floor the planks
must be glued to the concrete. The
sub-floor must be level, dry and void
of cement lumps, etc. The tolerance
limit is ± 3mm per 2 running
metres. As a main rule, the relative
humidity (RH) of the concrete must
be less than 65 %; but, by utilising
a so called MS-Polymer adhesive, a
RH in the concrete of max. 85 % is
normally accepted.
40
LAYING INSTRUCTION Solid plank 20mm
Check with the adhesive
manufacturer and follow their
instructions. Ordinary dispersion
adhesive (water-borne) must not
be used. It can be necessary to use
a primer.
Remember to allow clearance to all
walls and fixed projections of min.
3mm per metre room width and
that adhesive should not be used
in the tongue/groove connection.
2. Roll out the underlay crossways
of the plank with the protected
side up. Ensure that the
ELASTILON® is laid completely
into the wall and in such a way
that the flap of sheeting can be
folded back. The underlay is laid
edge to edge.
1
FLOATING INSTALLATION ON
ELASTILON®
If a floating floor is required, use
ELASTILON® Strong, which is a
self-adhesive underlay. The plank
adheres to the underlay, in this
case the seld-adhesive underlay,
while the total construction is a
floating floor.
Concrete sub-floors must be level
and devoid of cement lumps etc.
The tolerance limit is ± 3mm per
2 running metres. The relative
humidity of the concrete must be
below 90 %. It is compulsory to lay
a 0.20mm thick plastic foil on the
concrete to insulate against any
remaining damp, followed by a
layer of ELASTILON® Strong.
1. Before the ELASTILON® Strong is
rolled out, cut off approx. 40cm
of the actual rubber, in such a
way that a flap of the protective
plastic remains.

LAYING INSTRUCTION Solid plank 20mm
3. Lay the first 3 rows of boards
on the underlay and fix them
in place with wooden wedges
along all 3 walls. Pull the flap of
protective plastic from under the
boards until all 3 rows are firmly
attached to the self-adhesive
underlay.
4. The next rows are laid in place
and the protective plastic is
pulled out little by little as
each row is fixed in place. If
necessary, the ELASTILON® can
be aligned and stretched during
installation. This contributes to
all joins between planks being
tightly closed.
SOLID PLANK INSTALLED ON UNDERFLOOR HEATING
We do not usually recommend the
installation of solid wood flooring
together with under-floor heating,
because the movement of solid
wood is considerable greater than
that of a laminated construction.
If however it is the wish to install
solid wood flooring together with
under-floor heating, one must
expect some gaps to appear
between planks, during the heating
season. The factory guarantee is
annulled if installation takes place
on under-floor heating.
CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
BOEN Solid Plank is dried to
9 % (± 1 %) moisture content. It is
therefore a matter of course that
the building is heated and dry. All
windows and doors must be in
place and all brick-work, rendering
and concreting completed well
in advance of the parquet being
installed. The room must be
heated to a minimum of 15 °C with
relative humidity between 40 and
6 %. Ensure that the room is kept
remains between 40 and 60 %.
Always store the cartons of parquet
in dry conditions and do not open
them until they are to be used.
NB! Winters are often cold and
the heating season can cause a
very dry inner climate and hard
conditions for wooden flooring
especially solid wood flooring.
Solid wood flooring shrinks
more than multi-layer hardwood
flooring and with a dry inner
climate it is normal that gaps can
appear between the boards.
To avoid the formation of gaps,
it is necessary to incorporate
moisture so that the RH is
maintained between 40 - 60 %.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Our quality controllers have
graded and sorted the parquet.
Any questions or claims regarding
grading or visible defects must
be made prior to installation

the installer of the floor who is
responsible for the finished result.
CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
BOEN parquet is dried to 7.5
± 1 % moisture content, equal to
the moisture content of furniture
wood. It is therefore a precondition
of installation that the building
and doors must be installed;
all masonry work, pouring of
concrete and plastering must be
completed well in advance of the
parquet being installed. The room
must be heated and the relative
humidity must be between 30 and

be maintained after the floor is
installed and relative humidity
remains between 30 and 60 %.
to open. To avoid this happening,
glue the end joins together in
the tongue and groove. The
joists are made ridged by means
of battening placed between
the upper edges of the joists at
a distance of approx. 150cm.
Joining joists in a room directly
over underlying walls, must be
carried out very carefully, so that
deflection of the joists in the one
area does not affect the parquet
in another area. This is done by
trimming off from the middle
of the wall and out to the edge.
An alternative is to nail the joists
together forming a totally ridged
join.

BATTENING
When installing the planks
on battening the following
dimensions must be adhered to:
Loose battening: 36 x 68mm.
Fixed battening: 36 x 48mm.
A moisture barrier (min. 0.20mm
plastic film) is laid directly on
the concrete surface before the
battens are laid. Remember
to tape the joins. Use wooden
blocks or wedges to acquire the
correct height for the battens.
Remember to attach the wedges
to the battens so as to hinder
any movement. The maximum
distance between wedges is
500mm and the maximum
distance between the battens
is 600mm. If the floor is to be
exposed to excessive weight, it will
be necessary to consider installing
strengtheners.

POST INSTALLATION TREATMENT
UNDER-FLOOR HEATING
When 23mm parquet is to be
installed directly on joists/battens,
the insulation and the heating
system must be installed as close
to the parquet as possible. It must
not be possible for air pockets
to develop under the parquet.
The effect of the heating system
must not exceed 60 W/m². The
system must be thermostatically
BOEN parquet is pre-finished
with lacquer or matt lacquer.
Post installation treatment is
not required. If however, due to
special circumstances it is deemed
necessary to apply extra lacquer

the amount of water used. Do not
allow water to dry on the surface of
the parquet.
INSTALLATION
Joists are installed at intervals of
approx. 60cm and BOEN’s 23mm
parquet is installed directly on
the pre-laid joists. Parquet can be
randomly joined and independent
of the joists, but there must be a
minimum overlap of 60cm.
1. Put the first board against the
wall with the groove towards
the wall. There must be a
minimum clearance to the wall
of 8-10mm (1.5mm per metre
room width) Use wooden blocks
or wedges as distance pieces,
or nail the first row through the
top of the parquet along the
wall edge. The skirting board will
cover the nail holes.
2.Ensure that the first row is
straight. Use a string to check
this.
3. Use the off-cut from the first
row to begin the second row.
This must be a minimum of
60cm. Ensure that all overlaps
are a minimum of 60cm.
4. The nail/screw is placed in the
tongue at an angle of approx.
45° to the floor.
5. Use a nail punch to finish driving
the nail in.
6. When knocking boards together,
use a tapping block, to avoid
damaging the edges of the
parquet.
7. Apertures for piping etc. must be
made as spacious as possible so
as to allow the free movement
of the floor. The apertures are
then covered by pipe collars.
8. When installing the final row of
boards; place the board exactly
over the penultimate board. To
obtain the correct width, use an
off-cut of parquet as a template
against the wall.
9. Remember that end joins must
be glued.

STEEL BATTENING
There are design solutions
available on the market, which
are constructed of steel battening.
Self-supporting (23mm laminated
parquet) must be attached to
the battening and must not be
installed as a floating floor.
The parquet must be glued to
the steel battens with a so-called
“hybrid adhesive”, which is applied
as a “continual bead” of adhesive
on the battening.
NB! Do not glue in the tongue and
groove connection.
This type of battening is firmly
bolted to the concrete surface.
This can cause a degree of
uncertainty with respect to
safeguarding against damp in the
concrete, when the bolts perforate
the plastic damp-coursing. It is
therefore vitally important that the
concrete is dry (65 % RH), so that
it does not emit damp which can
damage the parquet.
In addition to the mentioned
points, the general installation
instructions for parquet should
be followed. (See instructions for
23mm parquet on page 42).
When installing the battening
system, follow the manufacturers/
suppliers installation instructions
for the actual system in question.

damp-coursing will be perforated.
It is therefore vitally important that
the concrete is dry (65 % RH), so
that it does not emit damp which
can damage the parquet.
Fixed battening should be a
minimum of 36x48mm.
When loose battening is used, the
concrete surface can be insulated
with plastic damp-course. It is then
sufficient that the concrete has a
RH under 90 %. Loose battening
should have a minimum dimension
of 36x68mm. The parquet is nailed
or screwed to the battening.
NB! Adhesive must not be used in
the tongue and groove connection.
In addition to the mentioned
points, the general installation
instructions for parquet should
be followed. (See instructions for
23mm parquet on page 42).

20mm BOEN CHALET
A wide plank with a length of upto 4m.
20mm plank made up of 3 layer
glued together for maximum
stabilty, with a 4.5mm wear-layer

The boards come in five widths;
200mm, 250mm, 300mm, 350mm
and 395mm and in lengths from
2.5m up to 5.0m.
A single order will/can contain

Stonewashed Grey: Brushed
surface, then bright stained
CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
BOEN CHALET is dried to 7.5 %
(± 1 %) moisture content. It is
therefore a matter of course that
the building is heated and dry. All
windows and doors must be in
place and all brick-work, rendering
and concreting completed well
in advance of the floor being
installed. The room must be
heated to a minimum of 15 °C
with a maximum RH between 30
and 60 %. Ensure that the room
is kept temperate after the floor
is installed and that the relative
humidity kept between 30 and
60 %.
BOEN CHALET should always be
stored in dry conditions and do not
open the packaging until the floor
is to be installed.
SURFACE TREATMENT
BOEN Chalet planks are finished
using oxidative drying natural oil.
Maintenance should be carried out
using Osmo Hardwax Oil or similar
oxidative oil. After the installation,
we recommend to apply a first
treatment before use. See care &
maintenance products page 82.
Daily cleaning is best carried out
using a dry cleaning method,
either with a dry mop, a broom
or a vacuum cleaner. If it is
necessary to wash the floor, we
recommend adding BOEN Floor
Soap or Osmo Wash & Care to the
water. Imperatively make sure
to damp mop only - never water
your parquet flooring. Please,
immediately mop with a dry cloth.
into place using a sharp hand-held
plane.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT
INSTALLATION
BOEN CHALET must NOT be glued
in the tongue/groove connection,
as a floating floor. This type of floor
must be attached to the sub-floor,
either by gluing or screwing. The
type of glue used must have elastic
properties, but must not contain
water. The screws should be of
galvanised zinc, 4.2mm x 57mm.
Loose tongues are included for
using at the short-ends and which
must be glued in place.
Because the planks are so long and
wide it is possible that the angle
at the ends needs adjusting during
installation. This can be done
before the loose tongues are put
INSTALLATION ON A WOODEN
SUB-FLOOR
It is possible to directly screw or
nail the Chalet boards on used
hardwood floors or sub-floors. In
doing so, the new boards must
possibly be installed diagonal,
otherwise transverse to the former
direction of installation. In order
to avoid creaking noises, we
recommend adding a permeable
film as an inter-mediate layer. Use
4.2 x 57mm galvanized zinc floor
screws. Screw down at a distance
of 60cm over the joists.
Remember to leave a clearance to
all walls and fixed projectiles of
1.5 min. per meter room width.
Remember also to glue in the
enclosed loose tongues with wood
adhesive on the short edges.
49
50
INSTALLATION ON CONCRETE
With a concrete sub-floor the
planks must be glued to the
concrete. The sub-floor must
be level, dry and void of cement
lumps, etc. Any unevenness must
be corrected prior to installing the
parquet. The tolerance limit is
± 3mm per 2 running meters.
not be used. It may be necessary to
use primer.
Check with the adhesive
manufacturer and follow their
instructions. Remember to allow
clearance to all walls and fixed
projections of min. 1.5mm per
metre room width. Remember also
to glue in place the loose tongues
in the short edges using wood
adhesive.
BOEN CHALET INSTALLED ON UNDERFLORR HEATING
As a main rule, the relative
humidity (RH) of the concrete must
be less than 65 %; but, by utilizing
a so called MS-Polymer adhesive or
silane based adhesive, a RH in the
concrete of max. 85 % is normally
accepted. These types of adhesive
have the necessary elasticity.
Adhesive containing water must
We do not generally recommend
BOEN CHALET installed on
under-floor heating, because the
movement in such large elements
is considerably greater than in
a normal multi-layer hardwood
floor construction. If however
one wished to install it with
under-floor heating, one must
be prepared to accept some gaps
forming between the planks.
IMPORTANT POINTS WHEN PLANNING,
ORDERING and TRANSPORT
Because BOEN CHALET is made up
of different widths and lengths,
it is necessary to order each
board width in running metres.
It is therefore important to state
the exact width and length of
the floor-space to be covered, so
that BOEN can deliver the correct
number of running meters for each
plank. The distributor (or BOEN)
can assist with a proposal of which
widths that should and (can) be
delivered.
The relatively long lengths may
lead to the need for special
transportation and with loading/
unloading. This information is
calculated for each individual
delivery.
Example how the different lengths and widths can be laid in a room.

protection against moisture, but
is not a moisture barrier for the
concrete/ sub-floor.
The relative moisture content of
the sub-floor must be less than
90 %. Where concrete is concerned
it is necessary to measure the
moisture at points a minimum of
10cm into the floor.
Practical experience has shown
that newly laid concrete floors
should be dried for a minimum of
8 weeks prior to the installation of
Boflex.
DISTANCE TO WALLS AND COLUMNS
The distance between the floor
and walls/ columns is calculated
at 1.5mm per meter width
distributed on both sides, e.g.
to calculate the distance from
the wall in a 24 meter wide

LAYING ISNTRUCTION ACTIFLEX
Actiflex
Check the sub-flooring and the climatic
conditions. Vacuum the sub-flooring
before commencing installation.
1.It is recommended to lay the parquet
lengthwise to the main source of
light, so as to take into account
the lights’ angle of incidence. The
laying of the floor must be carefully
considered before beginning the
installation process, so as to avoid
final boards being too short or
narrow against the wall. Measure
the room before commencing
installation. It is imperative that a
0.20mm thick layer of plastic, taped
at the joins, is laid on the concrete
sub-flooring.
2.Begin by laying the perimeter strips
which are supplied, 15 x 100mm,
along the wall, in the direction the
parquet is to be laid.
3.Lay the Actiflex underlay 2000 x 1500
x 8mm against the row of supporting
boards. The underlay must not be laid
less than 100mm from the side walls.
4.-5. Place the first board with the
tongue facing the wall and the
groove facing outwards. There must
be a minimum clearance along the
wall of 8 - 10mm (1.5mm per meter
room width). The next board is laid
at an angle (approx. 30°) against the
end join and pressed down. Continue
in this way until the first row is laid.
6.Begin the second row with the offcut board from the first row, which
must be a minimum of 50cm.
7.Cut support blocks 15 x 100 x 70mm
and place them under the Actiflex
boards at the ends of each row.
8. The Actiflex mats are gradually laid
as the floor is installed. The offcut
from the first row is used to start
the next row, this ensures that the
mats are laid randomly and remain
in place.
9.-10. Use a light knock with a tapping
block, e.g. 10 x 10cm or similar,
against the lower edge of the
parquet, while pressing down the
row of boards against the underlay,
such that the boards slip into place.
11.By pressing the board at the end,
the tongue will yield and “lock” the
boards together.
12.Continue laying the next row, using
the off-cut from the previous row.
Ensure that there is a minimum
overlap of 40cm between the
boards.
13.-14. Apertures for piping etc. must
be as spaciously as possible so as
to allow for free movement of the
floor. The apertures are then covered
with pipe-collars.
15.After the flooring is installed it is still
important to ensure that the room
remains temperate with a relative
humidity of between 30 and 60 %.
Clean the floor using a dry dust
mop or vacuum cleaner. If the floor
needs to be washed it is important
that the use of water is kept to a
minimum. Do not allow water to dry
on the surface of the parquet.

CARE & MAINTENANCE LACQUER
CLEANING
BOEN CLEANER
For cleaning of silk matt
and matt lacquered parquet and
wood flooring
BOEN Cleaner is a cleaning agent
developed for use on parquet,
wood and other lacquered
surfaces.
Lacquered floors should not be
washed with soap. Soap contains
fat, and would leave a greasy film
on the surface, which over time can
make the floor look dirty.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
For daily cleaning use dry cleaning
methods, such as a dry mop or
vacuum cleaner. Microfiber cloth
is also suitable. When washing is
needed, you should be aware of the
following:
Wood and other lacquered flooring
can be affected by water, so a well
wrung cloth/mop is recommended.
Any spillage on the floor should be
removed immediately, and before
it dries.
The surface can withstand
the most common household
chemicals. Difficult stains can be
removed with a stronger mixture
of water/detergent, or gently with
white spirit. If white spirit is used,
dry afterwards with a damp cloth.
DOSAGE
Normal daily cleaning: 25ml to 5 l
water. Badly marked floor: 50ml to
5 l water.

MAINTENANCE
BOEN PARQUET REFRESHER
for maintenance of silk matt
lacquered parquet and wood
flooring
BOEN Refresher is a product
designed for maintenance of
lacquered parquet and wood
flooring. The product freshensup dull lacquer, protecting it and
giving a wear resistant finish.
BOEN Refresher meets the
requirements for slip resistance
according to DIN 18 032:2.
The floor must be clean and
devoid of polish and wax, prior to
treatment. Firstly, wash the floor
with BOEN Cleaner. Make sure
the floor is completely dry before
applying BOEN Refresher.
Shake the bottle/jar before
use. Apply a thin coat of BOEN
Refresher in small sections at a
time, with a clean, soft, lint-free
cloth, microfiber pad or other
polishing cloth. First, apply a coat
out across the floor, and finally
in longitudinal direction as each
section is completed. Keep the
room closed as much as possible
during application, so that dust etc.
does not pollute before the surface
is dust-dry. Once the surface is
dust-dry ventilation should be
increased to accelerate the curing
process.
Let the floor dry for at least 2 hours
before the floor is charged, or
before any application of a second
coat.
NB! Rugs should not be in place
until after 24 hours and the floor
should not be cleaned with water
until after 1 week.
CLEANING
A floor treated with Refresher is
cleaned in the normal way, i.e.
with a dry mop or vacuum cleaner.
When it is necessary to wash the
floor, avoid water spillage and use
a well wrung cloth with BOEN
Cleaner added to the water. Should
other cleaning agents be used
they must have a neutral Ph. value.
Cleaning agents containing strong
alkalis will remove the Refresher.
MAINTENANCE
USAGE
BOEN Refresher should be applied
when needed. There can hardly be
any particular interval, as wear of
course determines how often the
floor is to be treated.
1 ltr./30 - 50 m². Do not dilute.
Recommendations on the
maintenance frequency:
• Moderate domestic use
(bedrooms and living rooms): as
required, every six months.
• Average to heavy use (stairs,
corridors, offices with public
access): every two weeks.
• Heavy use (restaurants,
department stores, stairs,
schools): every week.
Unlike floors treated with polish
and wax, floors treated with BOEN
Refresher can be re-varnished.
Firstly, wash the floor with BOEN
Cleaner and then rinse with
Bona Polish Remover to remove
all Refresher. For instructions
about lacquering, please see
recommendations and product
data for Bona’s water-based
lacquer, and Bona Prep.
SHELF LIFE
At least 2 years from date of
production, in original unopened
container.
STORAGE/TRANSPORT
Temperature must be between +5
and +25 °C.
DISPOSAL
Non-cured BOEN Refresher
and empty containers must be
handled in accordance with local
regulations.
NB! If highly exposed parquet
floorings are showing considerable
wear appearances, we recommend
grinding and resealing in time in
order to maintain a proper surface
in the long run. Agree a regular
inspection with your parquet
installer.

PROFESSIONAL SURFACE TREATMENT
PREPARATION METHOD PRIOR TO
LACQUERING
Bona Prep
For use on factory treated or previously lacquered
floors. Bona Prep has been developed specially
to optimize adhesion of Bona lacquer to all types
of polyurethane based floor lacquers, including
lacquer used during production.
PREPARATION
The floor must be absolutely clean.
Remove dust/sand etc. by means
of a vacuum cleaner or mop. Then
wash the floor with BOEN Cleaner.
NB! Floors previously treated with
polish or wax must be milled down
to the bare wood to remove all
traces of polish or wax.
INSTRUCTIONS OF USE
1. Smaller areas can be cleaned
by hand using a spray bottle.
On larger areas Bona Prep can
be used in a washing/scouring
machine, or another alternative
is to apply a thin coat by means
of a mop, working on approx.
10m2 at a time.
NB! It is important that Bona Prep is
given 2-5 minutes to “work”, before
being removed. Do not allow it to
dry on the floor.
2. Use a standard polishing/
scouring machine (150-200
revs./min.) with a green pad
attached to apply the Bona
Prep. The whole surface must be
treated.
3. The floor must be cleaned with
water, immediately after being
scoured.
4. Dry with a cloth attached to the
polishing machine.
5. Intermediate sanding of the
surface using sandpaper
graining 120-150 should be
carried out between coats. The
period of time between scouring
and the intermediate sanding
must not exceed 24 hrs.
6. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove
all dust and then work over the
surface with a mop moistened
with Bona Prep.
7. Apply 1-2 coats Bona Traffic
or other proper lacquer when
the floor is dry. The application
of lacquer should take place
within 2 hours of the floor being
intermediately sanded and
cleaned.
Always check lacquer adhesion
before application. A small area
should be treated with Bona
Prep and given a test coat of
lacquer. After 2-3 days, scratch the
surface with a coin. If the lacquer
remains in place, there is sufficient
adhesion.
USAGE
40m2/ltr. per coat. Ready to use.
Should not be diluted.

FACTORY TREATED/PREVIOUSLY
LACQUERED FLOOR
The floor surface must be
absolutely clean. Clean the floor
with BOEN Cleaner, followed
by Bona Prep, to ensure good
adhesion of the new lacquer.
NB! Always carry out a test on a
small area to check adhesion. After a
period of 2-3 days when the lacquer
has hardened, scratch the surface
with a coin. If the lacquer remains in
place, there is sufficient adhesion.
The old lacquered surface must not
have been previously treated with
wax or polish. If this is the case, the
floor must be milled down to bare
wood to remove all traces of wax
and polish.
To the lacquer container is added
10 % Traffic hardener. Mixed
lacquer is shaken at least 1 min. Do
not stir. Let the container rest for
a few minutes until all air bubbles
have dispersed. Mixed lacquer/
hardener must be used within 5
hours.
After the first coat of lacquer make
an intermediate sanding with
sandpaper graining 120 - 150.
The next two coats can be applied
without intermediate sanding.
Make sure to keep the temperature
of both lacquer and floors above
13 °C.
USAGE
Approx. 1 ltr. per 8-10m2 (100-120
g/m2) per coat.
For lacquering on bare wood use
the lacquer manufacturer’s own
instructions.

CARE & MAINTENANCE MATT LACQUER (NATURALE)
CLEANING
BOEN CLEANER
For cleaning of silk matt
and matt lacquered parquet and
wood flooring.
BOEN Cleaner is a cleaning agent
developed for use on parquet,
wood and other lacquered
surfaces.
Lacquered floors should not be
washed with soap. Soap contains
fat, and will leave a greasy film on
the surface, which over time can
make the floor look dirty.
For daily cleaning use dry cleaning
methods, such as dry mopping
or vacuuming. Microfiber cloth
is also suitable. When washing is
needed, you should be aware of the
following:
Wood and other lacquered flooring
can be affected by water, so a well
wrung cloth/mop is recommended.
Any spillage on the floor should be
removed immediately, and before
it dries.
The surface can withstand
the most common household
chemicals. Persistent stains can be
removed with a stronger mixture
of water/detergent, or gently with
white spirit. If white spirit is used,
dry afterwards with a damp cloth.
DOSAGE
Normal daily cleaning: 25ml to 5 l
water. Badly marked floor: 50ml to
5 l water.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Ph values:
Concentrated, approx. 10
Dosage in water (0.5 %) approx. 8
Contents anionic and nonionic tensides, chelating
agents (complex builders), and
glycoethers.
Shelf life - At least 2 years from
date of production, in original

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
PARKETT POLISH MATT
for maintenance of matt lacquered
parquet and wood flooring
Bona Parkett Polish is a waterbased, polyurethane reinforced
maintenance product developed
specifically for use on matt
lacquered parquet and wooden
floors.
NB! Polished floors cannot be relacquered without deep cleaning
with particular agents.
The product refreshes worn and
matt lacquer surfaces, gives the
floor a newly lacquered look and
durable surface.
For white matt lacquered floors a
maintenance coat with Bona Polish
Matt is recommended immediately
after installation.
PREPARATION WORK
The surface should be clean and
dry. Polish should not be used on
floors that have been previously
treated with wax. If the surface
has been previously treated with
another kind of polish or some
unknown type of product, a test
should first be made to confirm
compatibility. Shake the bottle/jar
well before use.
APPLICATION
Apply the polish with a Microfiber
cloth to achieve a smooth finish.
The use of a mop, cotton cloth,
sponge or the like is recommended.
Use approx. 1 Itr. per 50 m² (2 dl
for 10 m²). It should be avoided
to enter areas that have already
begun to dry, as it can lead to a
striped finish.
The floor must dry for an hour
before it is taken into use. If
necessary, the floor can be applied
one more coat after an hour. Used
equipment is cleaned with water
immediately after use.
MAINTENANCE
There can hardly be given any
particular interval for maintenance,
as wear of course determines how
often the floor is to be treated.
73
74
Recommendations on the
maintenance frequency:
• Moderate domestic use
(bedrooms and living rooms): as
required, every six months.
• Average to heavy use (stairs,
corridors, offices with public
access): every two weeks.
• Heavy use (restaurants,
department stores, stairs,
schools): every week.
STORAGE
1 year from date of manufacture
in unopened container. Frost-free
storage. Contains (in accordance
with EU-recommendations):
• < 5 % phosphates
• non-ionic surfactant
• preservative: (Metylklorizotiazol,
Metylizotiazol, 2-Bromed-
2-Nitro Propane- 1.3-Diol).
NB! If highly exposed parquet
floorings are showing considerable
wear appearances, we recommend
grinding and resealing in time in
order to maintain a proper surface
in the long run. Agree a regular
inspection with your parquet
installer.

MAINTENANCE
OSMO HARDWAX OIL 3062
Maintenance of oiled surfaces and
finishing treatment of untreated/
sanded floors.
Wooden floors are often exposed
to great stresses and strains.
To retain the original surface
properties over years, worn areas
have to be renewed. After thorough
cleaning, simply apply a very thin
coat of Osmo Hardwax Oil.
The hardwood floor also becomes
abrasion, water and dirt resistant
- a long lasting surface protection
that is easy to maintain.
NB! For natural oiled floors is
recommended, immediately after
installation, a maintenance coat of
Osmo Hardwax Oil 3062.
PROTECTIVE SURFACE RENEWAL
1. Old worn floors must first be
cleaned with Osmo Wash and
Care or similar (mixed with
water 1:1). On small surfaces
use a handheld scouring pad,
for larger surfaces use a pad
machine and white/brown pad,
or scouring machine.
2. When the floor is dry apply a
coat of Osmo Hardwax Oil. Start
along the edges, corners, under
radiators etc. Use a lint-free
cloth for applying and polishing/
finishing to access difficult
areas. APPLY THIN COATS! On
the rest of the surface use Osmo
Floor Brush 220mm, which
provides the right amount of oil
on the floor (40 ml/m²).
3. Rub the oil into the floor with
the floor brush. Apply a last coat
as a ”final finish” in the board’s
longitudinal direction. If you
want more shine, the surface
can be final polished.
4.Errors during application can be
corrected up to 15 min after the
first application. Find the error,
correct it and then correct your
footprints on your way back.
5. Drying time 8 - 10 hours. Drying
time depends on the room
temperature between 18 - 22 °C
and relative humidity 50 - 60 %.
Ensure good ventilation. Max.
cure is achieved after approx. 14
days.
6. Clean the floor brush with white
spirit.

BASIC TIPS FOR FLOOR PREPARATION
COVERAGE
Choosing the correct sanding
method is a fundamental element
in determining the subsequent
appearance and quality of the
surface. If a wooden floor has been
well treated and cared for, allover
sanding is not necessary.
- ordinary maintenance, approx.
20 m² pr. ltr.
- on raw or sanded surface, approx.
12 m² with 2 coats
There are, however, two
exceptions:
• Old floors that are completely
or partially worn, graying or
flaking, or that have been
treated with water-based,
polyurethane or other varnishes.
• Where there are deep
impressions or severe
mechanical damage to the
wood.
COATING ON RAW, SANDED FLOOR
SURFACE
On untreated and sanded floorings,
always 2 coats are required. Also
when colour is used as primer.
1.First coat on the raw, sanded
floor (see Floor preparation)
as for ordinary maintenance;
ca. 40 ml/m².
2. The dry surface can be, if
desired, sanded using a fine
(400-500 grain) sanding paper or
smoothed using a scotch pad.
3. Best result with the second
coating on day 2.
CONTAINS
Solvent-free and non-water based:
Full Solid. Based on natural oils and
waxes - microporous. Can be stored
up to 5 years or longer if can is full
and tightly closed.
CAUTION
Cloths etc. are treated as
flammable waste, and put into
water or burned.
Keep out of reach of children. In
case of contact with eyes rinse
immediately with plenty of water
and contact medical advice. Do
not bring into contact with drinks,

of parquet and wood flooring in
sports and training facilities.
good ventilation during application
and for a period of 1 week after
application.
NB! Shake the can before use! 
BONA SPORTIVE CURED
Bona Sportive Primer ensures
excellent adhesion to wood and
provides an abundant appearance,
while the wood’s natural colour is
emphasized.
APPLICATION
Ensure the surface that is to be
treated is milled down to bare
wood. Sand-paper graining 120
or finer should be used for the
final sanding. The surface must
be dry, free from sanding dust
and devoid of wax, fat and other
contaminants. The temperature
of both the lacquer and the floor
should be above 13 °C. Sportive
Primer and Sportive Top Coat is
best applied with a Bona roller,
Bona applicator or similar. Provide
This is only for the top-coat. The
receptacles for both the lacquer
and curing agent are marked with
units of measure. 4 % hardener is
added to the lacquer and mixed
thoroughly, by shaking or stirring.
Allow the can to stand for 5
minutes until all the air bubbles
have dispersed. The lacquer must
then be used within 8 hours.
Recommendations for newly milled
floors: 1 coat of Sportive Primer + 2
coats of Sportive Top Coat
INTERMEDIATE SANDING takes place
after the first application of topcoat, which has been left to dry
overnight. Use sandpaper graining
120-150.
NB! Sportive Primer must not be
sanded down.
LACQUERED FLOOR
The surface must be absolutely
clean. Prior to the application of
lacquer, clean the floor with Bona
Prep according to the instructions
on the label. Then apply 1-2 coats
of Sportive lacquer.
Sportive lacquer usually has good
adhesion to previously lacquered
surfaces, but it is advisable to test
the adhesion. Prepare a small area
according to instructions and apply
1 coat of Sportive lacquer. After
3 days, scratch the surface with
a coin. If the lacquer remains in
place, there is sufficient adhesion.
We cannot guarantee the adhesion
of lacquer applied to other lacquer
types than Bona.
NB! Surfaces previously treated with
wax, polish or similar products must
not be re-lacquered until the floor
has been milled down to bare wood.
Certain types of parquet, which
are stained with white or pastel
shades should only be treated with
a solvent based lacquer.
