Choosing a Finex engineered board

The modern construction market is full of various materials for arranging flooring from different manufacturers. One of the newest is the engineering board. The leader in its production is the Russian company Finex, which began producing materials for flooring since 2001. It is about the engineering board of this manufacturer that the article will be discussed. We will tell you about the features, assortment and selection criteria of this product.

Engineering board refers to multi-layer flooring materials. This is one of the types of parquet. It is based on several layers. The topmost layer is veneer. Its width ranges from 3 mm to 6 mm and is made of valuable wood. The bottom one is birch plywood, on the surface of which stiffeners are applied to provide additional strength.

Finex engineered flooring board is a guarantee of the following advantages:

• quality;
• reliability;
• environmental Safety;
• wear resistance;
• long service life.

It is also worth noting that the material is characterized by resistance to temperature extremes, ease of installation and low cost, in comparison with other floor coverings. The floor covering can be sanded if necessary.

Among the shortcomings, of which there are not so many, the following are noted:

• difficulties in performing repair work;
• cannot be installed in a "floating" method.

Installation of an engineering board can be done in three ways, such as:

• using an adhesive composition;
• on a concrete screed;
• on wooden logs.

The range of Finex engineered floorboards is very diverse. In the production process, the company uses only high-quality natural materials and modern technologies, which is why the choice of shades and sizes of products is quite wide. The assortment of Finex engineered boards is presented in the following collections:

• Vintage;
• "Glamor";
• "Quartz";
• "Nature";
• "Original";
• "Valuable breeds";
• Elegance.

Each of the above collections contains from light beige to dark gray and almost black colors. For example, a material in the style of "Vintage Gothic" is distinguished by the presence of an unusual pattern on the surface, which, when properly laid, is collected into a single patterned canvas. Such an engineered board creates an atmosphere of exquisite antiquity.

The size range of Finex engineered board is also diverse, namely:

• width - from 110 mm to 450 mm;
• length - from 500 mm to 3000 mm;
• thickness - from 15 mm to 25 mm.

Such a variety of materials allows the consumer to choose for himself exactly the product that is ideal for flooring in any room.

The surface of Finex engineered board can also vary in texture. This is primarily due to the use of various technologies and characteristics of wood, which is used as the top layer. It comes in several types.

• Brushed. During the production process, soft fibers are selected from the boards, as a result of which the material acquires a colorful, pronounced texture. This surface treatment enhances the natural beauty and texture of the wood. Brushing is possible if the top layer of the board is made of soft wood.

• Sanded. Sanding is one of the most popular and commonly used methods for treating flooring. Such a surface is flat and smooth. With the help of special grinding machines and equipment, the top layer is removed from the board. This type of surface needs special care.

• Hewn. Using a special tool, exclusively by hand, the surface of the board is processed. This creates small grooves on the surface of the material.

The choice of flooring must be taken very seriously. Everyone understands that the period of its operation depends on what material is laid on the floor. When buying Finex flooring, you need to take into account the physical and technical parameters of the material and the color scheme.

Experts and company representatives recommend making a purchase exclusively in specialized stores. This is due to the fact that today there are a large number of fakes of this material. It is advisable to make sure of the availability of quality certificates. If you buy a product from a distributor, check the availability of documents that confirm the legality of the activity and the authenticity of the engineering board.
