As from Seicom is associated with CATAS
Laboratory - learning more all parquet elements, understanding their chemical
and physical characteristics will definitely give an added value to the tested
and certified Sports Parquet Floor our Company will supply to project managers
and end users.
CATAS is the Italian Institute for
certification, research and testing within wood-furniture field and center of
excellence for research in agro-food, industrial and environmental sector as
well.
Seicom always believed in certifications and
laboratory testing in order to market valid and guaranteed products for SPORTS
PARQUET FLOOR end users.
Sports Parquet Floors elements made of Hevea Rubber Wood are showing
excellent results while tested; Seicom, since ever supporting the great
flexibility and stability features of this fantastic tree, is collecting
exciting results. As per the latest testing procedures performed in
laboratory, Hevea Rubber Wood parquet proved to have great static
hardness (Janka) and excellent resistance to indentation (Brinell) when
strictly tested. Now all values can be compared
with other wood species such as beech, oak, maple, etc.
As per recent testing, it shows that Hevea
Rubber Wood parquet obviously has a very low radial & tangential shrinkage
if compared to beech or oak; the radial and tangential swelling is very low
too. These values officially certify that Hevea
species can be used also on large surfaces without fear of humidity or abnormal
swelling typical of other wood species. Given the results of these tests, we can
certainly say that HEVEA parquet can be suggested or even better recommended in
places with Radiant Floor Heating, more and more used even in sports facilities and combined with
Sports Parquet Floors.
We are currently subjecting SPORTS FLOORS FOR GYMS to
very strict and invasive tests in order to set their use even in extreme
situations, when subjected to considerable loads of bending and
twisting.
SEICOM PARQUET FLOORS have been also submitted
to chemicals such as ammonia, oil, grease and ink to assess the strength
and possible damages; tests have been performed as per regulation:
"Determination of chemical resistance EN 13442:2013".
Understanding the damage caused by chemicals will help
us create valid cleaners to fix any damage caused by adhesive, glue or acid
elements such as ammonia. The ordinary upkeep and cleaning data sheet by Seicom
will remarkably improve and will report only certified data in order to provide
valid and detailed information to all end users.
"We have started
a long and demanding certification process, but we are sure this will soon give
excellent results in terms of security to guarantee quality and an added value
to Seicom parquet floors".
