HARDWOOD FLOORS EVERYTHING LOOKS BETTER ON A HARDWOOD FLOOR ROOM FOR LIFE Every home tells a story. The chest you inherited from your grandmother. The cherished first piece of furniture you saved money to buy. The painting you fell in love with on a trip abroad. The skis that jam your hallway all year round. These are the things that bring life and soul to your home. A Upofloor will not only embellish your home in an environmental friendly way. It will also help you to make sure your home tells your story. The most effective way to highlight your personal treasures is to create a backdrop where they come alive. And one of the single most important design features to achieve this is to choose the right floor. Light or dark, calm or lively, a hardwood floor will immediately bring a sense of warmth and character to your home.

The collection has been inspired by a number of outstanding Finnish designers and architects, including Aino and Alvar Alto and Tapio Wirkkala, sharing the vision to combine beauty with functionality. Both the Altos and Tapio Wirkkala favoured using birch for their designs. Architects Aino and Alvar Alto are renowned for contemporary architecture, placing the human being at the centre. They used wood in an innovative way in both interior and furniture designs, thus creating several Nordic design icons. The Aaltos understood and appreciated the qualities of birch, such as durability, beauty and the unique pattern formed in the veneer surface. The Altos provided direction for the design of the Saima products in their design of wooden walls, ceiling panels and innovative floor surfaces. The structure of the Saima floors, with vertically positioned veneer, highlights the unique character of the wood. Meanwhile the wide range of patterns, lengths and colours enables you to design your own, personalised floor for every room and context. A good looking floor material can also be functional. Thanks to their special characteristics, the Saima floors offer a durable, timeless solution that works well with all architectural trends. With its versatile selection and countless laying patterns, Saima offers many design solutions. Tapio Wirkkala is one of the top names of Nordic design. He was also an outstanding artist who favoured using birch in his work. In 1980, Wirkkala participated in the development of the Saima parquet floor. His idea was to stain the birch veneer. This gave the material a unique, grey tone resembling that of a wasp’s net. Thanks to the outstanding durability of the material, as well as its esthetical qualities, Saima was selected as floor for Wirkkala’s exhibition that was touring the world at the time. In those days, only small amounts of grey Saima floors were produced – most of which for Tapio 28 300L/R (150 x 300 mm) All Saima Design hardwood floors are available in these lengths: 300, 600 and 1200 Realloc locking system Saima Classic and Saima Lumi have the mechanical locking system and is available in this length: 188 x 2266 mm 600L (150 x 600 mm) 1200L (150 x 1200 mm) 188 x 2266 mm Realloc 29 TECHNICAL WOOD FACTS 1 Our floors reflect decades of hardwood floor production experience and expertise. We have learnt to select the best raw materials and use the most advanced technologies to produce a high quality floor that is beautiful, easy to install and durable. Upofloor Hardwood Floors are manufactured from genuine wood. We have selected some of the most beautiful and hardwearing species. Different wood species have their own feel, reflecting the history and growth conditions of the forest. 2 3 4 A PERFECT CONSTRUCTION Upofloor hardwood floorboards are manufactured entirely from genuine wood. Wood is a living material, contracting and expanding in accordance with the seasons and changing climate conditions. It is essential for the frame structure of the boards and the wooden materials used in the frame to limit these natural movements. The cross-directionally glued three-layer structure of Upofloor boards effectively prevents the natural movements of wood resulting from humidity. QUALITY The high quality of Upofloor hardwood floors - as the well as our whole production chain is based on Finish craftsmanship, decades of experience and concern for the environment. As a guarantee of its high quality, Upofloor has been awarded the ISO 9001 quality certificate. Upofloor hardwood floors comply with the requirements of the highest emission classifications for construction materials, E1 and M1. High quality is a point of honour for Upofloor, and this manifests itself in our production and the finished floors in your home. This is why Upofloor provides a 10-year quality warranty for its hardwood floors. Upofloor is the reliable choice for professionals as well – a trusted partner for 5 Board structure 1. Five-layered lacquering or oil treatment 2. Wooden wear layer 3. Intermediate layer made of coniferous wood, with a crosswise grain direction with respect to the surface wood 4. Plywood end reinforcement 5. Layer of plywood for base veneer projects, including the more challenging ones. Activities that are in line with sustainable development guide the entire Upofloor production chain from R & D and production to sales and marketing. Hardwood floor materials are primarily sourced from reliably documented sources, and the waste wood created as a by-product of manufacture is used to heat some of Upofloor’s factories. As a recognition of its comprehensive environmental approach, Upofloor has been awarded the SFS-EN ISO 14001 environmental management certificate, and the PEFC certificate, which is used for controlling the origin of materials. In addition to looks, there are also other aspects to consider. For instance, it is better to select a hard and fine-grained species of wood for spaces requiring a high level of wear resistance. Since wood is a living material, the appearance of a hardwood floor will change in time due to the effects of light. Ash Ash is a strong hardwood species, harder than oak. The light-toned surface of ash is enlivened by a distinctive grain pattern. The wood turns slightly yellow over time. Oak Its warm, natural colours and sturdiness make oak a popular choice for floors. Oak wood has long, straight grains. The colour darkens to a warm amber yellow tone over time. Birch Birch is a pale and strong wood species. The wood is pale cream in colour and has a wavy figuring, with clear knots. Birch turns yellows over time. Merbau Merbau is a dark, very hard species with a high level of wear resistance. The heartwood of merbau is warm brown with slight yellow gold stains. Merbau turns darker over time. Beech Beech floors feature a silky surface and harmonious colour tones. This wood species is hard and impact resistant. The warm tone of the wood turns golden over time. Walnut Walnut is a dark, medium hard species, slightly softer than oak. Unlike most other wood, walnut turns lighter over time and becomes golden brown. ASH BIRCH BEECH OAK MERBAU IROKO WALNUT CHANGING OF FLOOR COLOUR UV radiation affects the colours of hardwood floors. Colour changes represent a natural process occurring in the surface of the wood boards. Radiation does not, however affect the varnish or oil coating of the boards. The hues characteristic of Oak, Birch, Beech, Merbau and Ash turn darker, while Walnut and heat-treated Baroque boards become lighter. HARDNESS Soft Hard Very hard Merbau Ash Beech Oak EASY TO INSTALL THE REALLOC SYSTEM The Upofloor range of high-quality hardwood floorings can be installed without glue with the RealLOC system. RealLOC flooring is based on a locking tongue-and-groove system that connects and interlocks flooring boards accurately and tightly. Installing RealLOC flooring is easy and practically self-instructive. However, it is important to install the floor under the right conditions and to follow laying instructions to achieve a perfect result 30 Walnut Birch Quick and easy The floor is ready to be installed straight from the box and to be used right after installation. Smooth surface High precision and perfect fit gives a smooth surface with gentle joints. Easy to maintain – If a board is damaged, it is possible to remove and replace it with a new one. Iroko At Upofloor, our timber sourcing is guided by the principles of sustainable forestry, that forest resources that society enjoys today are available now and in the future. Upofloor is PEFC certified, Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification. PEFC is the world’s largest forest certification standard. All wood in our flooring meets the new EU Timber regulation. WOOD HARDNESS The Brinell scale indicates the comparative hardness of different wood species. As a rule the higher the Brinell-hardness, the better the floor’s ability to withstand impacts, indentations and wear. In this table the average hardness degree of timber materials has been compared to wear surface of Upofloor hardwood floorings. 31 DESIGN AMBIENT COLLECTION SURFACE TREATMENTS A 1 ASH FP 138 COUNTRY WHITE OILED (O) OIL TREATMENT LACQUER BRUSHING STAINING BEVELED EDGE SMOKED Oil treatment retains wood’s genuine, natural qualities and colour shades. Oil treated floorings are available in natural or lighter shades, as well as treated with the dark Antik-oil. Lacquering gives a hardwood floor a durable, long-lasting protection. Our gloss lacquer gives the floor a shiny, polished look, while the satin lacquer complements the wood’s character by accentuating its natural structure. The subtle finish of the matte lacquer produces an untreated, bare wood look. Brushing the surface highlights the natural structure of the grain and emphasizes the texture of the wood. Brushing effects vary, depending on the wood species. Staining further enhances the wood’s natural colour tones. It also allows us to apply new colours, thus completely transforming the appearance of the wood. Upofloor offers a wide range of stained options – from the palest white, to rich charcoal shades. Bevelled edges give the floor a distinct look. We offer a number of floors with a bevelled edge finish in varying degrees. Heat treatment is an environmentally friendly method that accentuates the characteristics of genuine wood. In the heat treatment process the wood is heated to over 200°C without any additives.
