Abstract

Example embodiments relate to improvements to composed stave flooring, methods for the production thereof and the corrective maintenance of same. The improvements allow corrective maintenance to be performed without negatively affecting the physical aesthetic and functional properties thereof. The flooring comprises a sight substrate and a base substrate, with the sight substrate having a minimum practical thickness of 4 mm and the base substrate having a minimum practical thickness of 12 mm, the two substrates being assembled using adhesive and securing means that distribute the adhesive uniformly between both substrates, thereby rendering the flooring more durable and stable.

Claims (11)

1. A method for the manufacture of engineering floors, comprising:

providing a base wood layer having a thickness of at least 12 mm and having a toothed upper facing surface,

providing a top surface wood layer having a thickness of at least 4 mm and having a toothed lower facing surface configured to engage the toothed upper facing surface of the base wood layer for horizontal reinforcement of the engineering floor, and

assembling the base wood layer and top surface wood layer together with multidirectional holding means consisting of:

contact between the two toothed facing surfaces of the base wood layer and top surface wood layer,

an adhesive provided along the toothed surfaces of the base wood layer and top surface wood layer for vertical reinforcement of the engineering floor, and

one or more clamps attached to the engineering floor for clamping the base wood layer, adhesive, and top surface wood layer together.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive consists of glue.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the base wood layer is selected from one in a group consisting of decorative or functional boards, medium density fiber (MDF) boards, minor quality woods and PVC.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein assembling the base wood layer and the top surface wood layer further comprises providing constant pressure between both layers, in order to uniformly distribute the glue between both layers.

5. An engineering floor obtainable from the method of claim 1 .
