To achieve that, every ter Hürne floor holds a wealth of intelligence. We coordinate everything precisely: starting with the product structure/ the materials used and the connection technology, right through to the sealing. You can take the result as read: A smarter floor that makes your life that bit easier
DID YOU KNOW?

The connection makes the difference

The ease or otherwise of installing engineered hardwood flooring is largely to do with the connection system. Meaning: the profiling of the planks that holds them together.

Depending on the manufacturer and system, there are significant differences, that become apparent during the installation. This is noticeable in terms of the time and effort required as well as the quality of the installed floor. In some systems, the planks click together with no need for tools. These are in contrast to the tongue and groove systems where the planks are tapped into each other.

Is this the first time you have installed a floor on your own? Then we advise you to go for a click system. If you have already had some practice, then both systems are suitable for you.

We have made our engineered hardwood flooring planks 'smart'. With our CLICKitEASY connection technology, the planks simply click together – a little like LEGO® bricks. It is quick and the planks are securely connected to each other. The installed floor looks great.

SMARTER PRODUCT STRUCTURE
The whole is more than the sum of its parts
Wood is hard-working: it never stops. Fluctuating temperatures and humidity cause it to shrink, swell, and thus become distorted. Normal behaviour. Our natural engineered hardwood flooring does a minimum of work. It leaves that to a smart three-layer construction. Every layer performs a stabilising function that allows the wood to work considerably less. Our floors stays in shape for a lifetime. We use the whole wood of a tree for our engineered hardwood flooring. This conserves natural resources and the environment.

DID YOU KNOW?

Strength sits centrally

How does an expert recognise well-made 3-layer engineered hardwood flooring? He checks the middle layer. This is the supporting layer that makes up the largest part of the engineered hardwood flooring. Spruce is often used for this. The quality of the material can be determined by the annual growth rings. If the rings are ‘standing’ then the spruce wood of the middle layer is particularly stable and shrinks considerably less than where the rings are flat.

At ter Hürne, we use only the middle layers with fine-grained, standing annual growth rings from sustainable forestry. This ensures maximum dimensional stability with low swelling and shrinkage. That is only one example of the hidden technical characteristics of our engineered hardwood flooring

THE SURFACE FINISH

Smartly protected

We apply oil or lacquer to the surfaces of our engineered hardwood flooring. It provides protection and makes the engineered hardwood flooring impervious to the rigours of daily use.

Depending on the finish, it emphasises the appearance of the colours, structures and contours in different ways.

Natural oil finish


We apply our selected oil to the engineered hardwood flooring in several stages. Between these steps in the process, we treat the wood so that the subsequent oil is better absorbed. This is what creates the exclusive surface: We oil the wood during the day and let it rest overnight. The following day, we repeat the process. The oil thus penetrates deep into the pores of the wood. The engineered hardwood flooring receives maximum depth protection.

Das Öl verhindert das Eindringen von Schmutz und Feuchte. Kommt Nässe auf den Boden, hast du genügend Zeit zum Wegwischen. Durch das Öl behält das Holz seine hygroskopischen, seine wasserabweisenden Eigenschaften. Es nimmt Feuchte aus dem Raum auf und gibt sie bei trockener Luft ab. Unser Öl wählen wir zusätzlich zum Schutz für das Design des Parketts aus. Es hebt Farben und Maserungen optisch hervor. Das Holz fühlt sich beim Tasten unbehandelt natürlich an. Wir verwenden ausschließlich Öle, die für dein Wohlbefinden einwandfrei sind.

Lack


In mehreren Arbeitsschritten tragen wir unsere Lackschichten auf. Er besteht vollendet aus bis zu zehn Schichten. Zwischen diesen Schritten bearbeiten wir die Schichten, damit sich die vorherige mit der folgenden Schicht gut verbindet. Auf diese Weise schaffen wir eine Oberfläche, die belastbar und flexibel ist. Dieser Lack schützt vor leichten Stößen und Kratzern ebenso wie vor dem Eindringen von Feuchte.

Zusätzlich zum Schutz lässt sich die Oberfläche leicht reinigen und pflegen. Unseren Lack wählen wir zusätzlich zum Schutz für das Design des Parketts aus. Je nach Mattierungsgrad entsteht ein unterschiedliches Design. Glänzend wirkt edel, matt hebt die Natur des Holzes hervor. Wir verwenden ausschließlich Lacke, die für dein Wohlbefinden einwandfrei sind.

IMPREGNATED

If things do get wet

Wood and water do not get on well together. If water gets into the plank, it will swell up. This will be visible from the raised head edges. The floor will be literally thrown out of joint.

Our smart solution to the problem: where the planks or slats meet, we protect our wood floors with an additional healthy home environment water-repellent emulsion. This makes it a lot harder for moisture to penetrate the wood. While no engineered hardwood flooring can tolerate being wet for a long time, with our impregnation, our engineered hardwood flooring can forgive a spilled glass of water without problems.

CONNECTION SYSTEMS

The most pleasing harmony is created by bringing together opposites

The mark of a properly installed floor is the flawless way the planks join with each other. Otherwise, unsightly joints will subsequently appear in the installed floor, spoiling its appearance.

CLICKitEASY CONNECTION SYSTEM

Child's play


Now, you can see your new floor in the room and move about on it.

Laying our floors is child’s play with the smart connection system. You connect the long sides of the planks by angling them in. On the short sides of the planks, the head ends, our patented door lock principle ensures a secure connection: The head ends of the planks click together with only light pressure. The integral tongue makes this connection permanently stable.
Benefits for you
  • Easy: virtually no tools or force required
  • Quick: install your floor a lot faster and walk on it immediately
  • Secure: you automatically align the individual planks correctly. This will give you great results
  • Flexible: the floating installation means you can easily dismantle your floor again
TONGUE & GROOVE PRO CONNECTION SYSTEM

You trust your skills


Tongue and groove is the tried-and-tested classic among connection systems. We have optimised this with our Pro version. A little nib in the profiling produces an additional safeguard that better connects the floorboards to each other.
This variant is used only for our herringbone and system planks.
CONNECTION TECHNOLOGY GUIDE

Glue down or floating installation?


Answer: both are possible. But which is the better option depends on what is important for you. The choice is yours.

FLOATING INSTALLATION

So that you can be quick and flexible


You can lay our floors as a floating installation. The individual planks are not connected to the substrate as they are with the fully bonded glue down installation. The floor is loosely laid on the substrate and ‘floats’ on it.

Benefits for you
  • You can easily install it yourself
  • You don’t have to invest a lot of time
  • You can walk on your floor immediately after laying it
  • If required, you can easily remove it without leaving any residue
  • Individual planks can be replaced relatively easily
GLUE DOWN INSTALLATION

Your permanent connection


Our floors are suitable for glue down on to a screed. This is a job for experienced trade professionals.

Benefits for you

  • You get better room acoustics because footfall noise is reduced
  • Your underfloor heating system is able to fully take effect – no heat builds up between the floor covering and the substrate.
  • Your floor does not expand as much when the climate in the room changes.
  • The floor does not resonate. That protects the construction and ensures longer durability.
  • You can sand and renovate it.

SUITABLE FOR UNDERFLOOR HEATING SYSTEMS

Best friends for toasty toes


Your ter Hürne floor and the underfloor heating system make a great team.

The underfloor heating system penetrates the floor well and distributes the heat optimally in the room. The choice is yours: Whether your underfloor heating system is hot water-based or electric, your new floor will get on well with both of them. With electric underfloor heating, you should bear in mind they use gentle warm-up technology and a temperature control unit.
