8 What are the specific product benefits? Longlife parquet is less sensitive to pressure loads! The press-in behaviour in the event of mechanical pressure loads on the covering layer is many times better than for parquet flooring with a standard fir middle layer. 208 kg Approx. 50% greater tare weight HDF middle layer (approx. 800kg m 3 ) 140 kg Spruce middle layer (approx. 540kg m 3 ) (Case test clearly shows better press-in behaviour in the HDF middle layer; 2000 N) Longlife parquet is quieter! The comparatively high tare weight of the core dampens sound waves MEISTER Longlife parquet with HDF middle layer Oak covering layer 2.5mm Standard parquet with spruce middle layer Oak covering layer 3.6mm
9 Longlife parquet is energy-saving! 0 0.05 0.1 0.15 0.2 MEISTER Longlife parquet HDF middle layer (0.10 0.12m² K/W) 0.15 m² K/W Maximum value defined by Federal Association of Surface Heating and Surface Cooling e. V. Longlife parquet with footfall sound absorption The top floor layer (including the underlay) should not exceed the thermal resistance of 0.15 K/W m²! This is the maximum value defined by the Federal Association of Surface Heating and Surface Cooling e. V. (Bundesverband Flächenheizungen und Flächenkühlungen e. V.) Therefore: When laying floating multi-layer parquet over a warm water underfloor heating system, MEISTER Longlife parquet is the right choice.
10 MEISTER Longlife parquet is ecological! The resource-sustaining use of 2.5mm covering layers protects and preserves the environment with the same properties as thicker covering layers and is sourced from sustainably managed areas. (5.5 cubic metres > approx. 95m² solid wood planks 20mm > approx. 850m² covering layers for engineered parquet)
11 MEISTER Longlife parquet has tightly sealed joints! The precise milling of the click system made possible by an HDF core, enables a tough and firm join. The result: Even for seasonal climatic changes, the joins remain sealed and the laying pattern perfect.
12 Can MEISTER Longlife parquet be completely glued? Yes MEISTER recommends shear-resistant gluing with a glue from any of the standard commercial suppliers (for details, see http://pro.meister.com).
