Company FeaturesThe history of the company’s development goes back to the end of the 19th century, and more precisely, in 1886. It was then that Tarkett AB was opened in Sweden, producing parquet from wood waste from the production of wheels for wooden carts. Parquet in its modern sense was developed by Tarkett designers only in the forties of the last century. The history of Tarkett is more than 130 years of mergers, acquisitions and associations of various floor coverings. Currently, Tarkett is a combination of several companies, which includes 28 production facilities and more than one hundred sales offices located around the world. Tarkett Group produces the following types of floor coverings:
Actually, parquet board is a specialization of factories belonging to the Tarkett group of companies located in Sweden, Serbia and Poland. These plants are considered the most advanced in Europe, because they are based on the use of the latest technological developments. Thanks to this, Tarkett products meet the requirements of international safety standards and maintain a leading position in the market. According to reviews by both ordinary consumers and professionals in the field of repair and finishing works, the products of this brand deserve respect as an example of quality, reliability and manufacturability. Tarkett is constantly improving its products, making them even safer, more wear resistant and easy to install and maintain. She was one of the first to introduce heat treatment of materials in her production, and in order to make the finished product more durable and moisture resistant, the main layer of parquet was glued from all sides. In the manufacture of flooring, Tarkett uses a special varnish coating, which increases the resistance of parquet to abrasion. MaterialsTarkett parquet board has a three-layer structure:
To manufacture its products, the company uses the following wood species:
In the production process, the parquet board is dried, which ensures high strength products in various operating conditions. The top layer of the parquet is treated with a glossy or matte water-based varnish in seven layers. Its fixing on the surface occurs with the help of ultraviolet rays.
Each type of Tarkette is easy to install. See installation rules in the next video. Technical specifications and dimensionsTarkett parquet board has a standard thickness of 14 mm. The length of the board can be 2215, 2283, 1000, 1200 mm, width - 140, 164, 194 mm. By the nature of the drawing (design), the board can be single-lane and three-lane:
Each series of parquet boards has its own technical characteristics (in addition to the above):
How to care?A few simple rules:
The manufacturer does not recommend:
Collections and examples in the interiorTarkett company today offers a huge selection of types of flooring, which are presented in 13 collections:
Technical featuresThe technology for the production of parquet boards under the Tarkett brand was developed back in the 40s of the last century. It was then that local engineers patented a method of manufacturing a multilayer board, in which the lower working layer was made of pine or spruce, glued with a transverse arrangement of wood fibers. This made it possible to ensure mutual compensation of the layers and, accordingly, reduce the expansion coefficient of the parquet itself. The use of low-cost breeds in the base has reduced the cost of the material. As a result, a floor covering appeared, the service life of which increased significantly, and the external characteristics did not cause any complaints. The modern parquet board from the Tarkett company has a rather thick top layer, which is polished at the factory, and repeatedly, which makes the floor surface perfectly smooth. The working substrate is made of very hard, rather rare tree species, and the upper layers are made of expensive and noble ones. Therefore, a unique imitation of a respectable gender is created. Technical specificationsThe length of the Tarkett parquet board is standard, it is 2525 mm, width 188 mm, thickness 14 mm. It is coated with UV varnish. In the package of 6 pieces, which are enough to cover an area equal to 2.85 square meters. m. Therefore, it is easy to calculate how many packages are needed in order to completely cover the floor surface of one room. Tarkett parquet products are an elite three-strip coating that will help to achieve special comfort. Variety of design possibilitiesSwedish manufacturers took care of a large assortment and created a unique Tarkett series, which expands the scope of application of the designated flooring. Until now, there was one significant drawback of such an analogue of parquet, there was no variety of texture and installation methods. Now everything has changed. A unique Salsa series from Tarkett is presented to the attention of potential buyers, it allows you to recreate a wood texture with a natural pattern. The Flamenco series is a selection of the most original shades. Three-layer “Samba” is a bold experiment, each element is a little more than a meter, this helps to create a unique design drawing. Single-lane "Tango" is a parquet board, the top layer of which is made of the most expensive tree species to date. And finally, Tango Art is a collection of eight individual designer styling methods. Such a variety increases the scope of the indicated parquet board, which adds another very important point to the list of advantages. But the most popular tree that manufacturers use in their designs is ash. Why? It's all about the tree itself. Ash has high strength and resistance to mechanical damage. Therefore, the ash-tree parquet board does not deform over time, does not crack, and endures quite serious loads. The manufacturer company on "Ash" gives a guaranteed thirty-year service life. At the same time, throughout the entire service life, Tarkett guarantees that the ash board is still the same as in its original form. It should be noted that the parquet board ash from Tarkett is made according to a unique technology, where its three-layer structure is used. This provides high technical and operational characteristics of the material.In addition, the manufacturer today offers a fairly wide palette of shades, which increases the already high popularity of ash boards. I would like to note that ash itself, meaning wood, is easy to process. This property of it allows you to cut wood into thin dies, which form the basis of parquet boards. This, firstly, reduces the cost of production. And, secondly, it makes it possible to diversify the collection of this flooring. To this I would like to add that ash is the most common tree in Europe. So this indicator is also decreasing in terms of cost reduction. Basically, this collection is produced by the Serbian branch of the company. I would like to list some models from this collection:
This is just a small list. The manufacturer tries every year to bring new models to the consumer's court, elegant and simple, expensive and cheap. It is this position and a similar approach to production that solves the problems of choice. And as practice shows, the wider the choice, the more consumers pay attention to the collection. Moreover, the quality of the floorboard is at the highest level and meets the requirements of the European standard. New perspectivesThe Swedish concern Tarkett never rests on its laurels; it is constantly looking for new ways to improve its products. New recipes for varnish coating, which has dirt-repellent properties, are already being developed, the board sold is antistatic, very reliable and environmentally friendly. Full-scale work is ongoing in terms of searching for new styling methods that will improve technical specifications. Therefore, we will monitor success in this direction and wait for new products from Tarkett.
