Can you tell us more about the UV lacquer which you use?

Our UV sealer and top coat are not dangerous and are free of labeling. They are ready-to-use lacquers, which means that photo-initiator or other things need to be added before application. This is the latest type of UV lacquer and they can even be enhanced with 5% of our hardener for better results or for timbers with substantial mineral content. With the addition of hardener the pot life of our lacquer exceeds seven days, which is the longest in the market.

Moldrup Solid Wooden FlooringIt fulfills the durability requirements of Deutsches Institut for Normung (DIN) DIN 68861 Group B 1. It is extremely hard, scratch proof with very low abrasive value according to Taber Abraser test and good elasticity, which is very important for flooring. It is nonflammable according to DIN 4102 Group B1 and VTL 7100-001/2 Chapter 2.7. It is styrene free, unlike the polyester type, which are still produced by many and are known to be carcinogenic.

The production process of our lacquers are fully computerised and no hand mixing is allowed. Therefore, high quality is consistently maintained. All resins and formulae are developed in-house. In the production of UV lacquer, most manufacturers around the world have to purchase the resin from three large resin manufacturers in Germany. Therefore the latest types of UV resins are obtainable in Germany and in our case we have our own license, which nobody can buy. Here we are talking our the UV - PU- Acrylic type of resins and not the old polystyrene type of lacquers. Thus apart from Germany, it is quite impossible now at the present moment to obtain a first rate type of resin from anywhere else.

Our commitment to quality is exhibited by the fact that we have a product guarantee of up to DM two million, if our product is proven defective.

Tips for cleaning wooden flooring

Clean the floor daily using a dust mop or a slightly damp swab. All excess moisture must be removed immediately. Pools of water left to dry on the floor will cause serious damage.

A mild solution of pure soapflakes is ideal for washing purposes, as it does not leave a residue behind on the floor surface.

Abrasive or polish based cleaning materials should never be used.

If any material other than soapflakes is used in the cleaning process, the floor should be lightly sanded (with sandpaper of grain size 150 - 180) before re-lacquering.

Black marks from shoes can be removed with spirit.

Taking care of wooden flooring

Never use nylon wheels, metal wheels or similar hard wheels without a protective covering on the floor. Loads should always be pushed around carefully. When loads are heavier than 250 kgs per wheel for solid rubber wheels or 300 KGs / wheel for air rubber wheels (these are the maximum rolling load for Moldrup wooden flooring), then load spreading materials (for example, 22mm ply wood sheets) should be placed in the traffic area.

Tips for cleaning common household spills on wooden flooring

Take a few pieces of white cleaning cloth and 1/4 teaspoon of liquid dishwashing detergent for one cup of warm water. Scoop up as much of the spill as possible, immediately. Then blot the area with the clean cloth to remove excess moisture.

Do not rub the floor in the area where the spill has occurred. If the spill is large, use a wet or dry vacuum.

Apply warm water to the stained area and blot with the white cleaning cloth. Repeat this till there is no stain evident on the cloth.
