TECHNICAL INFORMATION

TECHNOLOGIES

FEATURES:

  • 3 layer construction with cross-laid interconnected middle core flooring is much less shrinks and expands at humidity variation and has wider range of applications in compare to solid flooring;
  • birch is used for middle core and base lamella. Base lamella has increased thickness of 3 mm.  This helps due to better symmetry to enhance internal balance of hardwood planks and reduce twisting or warping;
  • cork compensators are added every 15 cm to balance internal stress in case of moisture effect and as a result helps flooring to withstand to humidity fluctuations;
  • top wear layer is 3.2 mm  and can be sanded up to 4 times. Luxury European uses only sawn lamellas for top layer. Sawn hardwood lamellas have no internal checks that could cause face splits later on. Sawn hardwood lamellas are 100% solid wood and preserve the rich grain texture appearance;
  • high-adhesion hot-melted polyurethane glues are used to bond lamellas and middle core together. Extra strong bonding ensures that no delamination occurs even under extreme moisture conditions or flooding. Luxury European polyurethane adhesives are 100% formaldehyde free and are environmentally friendly.
 

INSTALLATION:

Solid hardwood flooring can be installed on or above ground level, by glue down or staple down to wooden subfloor. For glue down installation of long and wide planks, it is recommended to use staples or nails for pulling and securing planks to the subfloor and one to another.

WOOD SPECIES

OAK

European oak (Quercus robur) – grows in all of Europe and North Caucasus.

Description:

Heartwood of oak is light brown, sapwood is white to creamy white. Oak has open grain with rays, occasional swirls and burls. Plain sawn oak boards have a flared grain appearance, while quarter sawn oak has a flake pattern (sometimes called tiger rays).

Physical Properties:

Quarter sawn oak has excellent dimensional stability. Oak is very strong and durable, measuring 1360 on the Janka scale. Tannic acid in the wood protects it from insects and fungal attacks.

Uses:

Oak has always been a very popular choice for hardwood flooring. Today, oak flooring is available in nearly all types, styles and sizes. Wide, quarter sawn boards of white oak have been extremely prized since the Middle Ages, when oak was used in designing the interior of prestigious buildings, flooring and fine furniture. As a symbol of elegance, strength and endurance, oak has been chosen as a national tree of many countries.

ASH

European Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) grows in mainland of Europe and east to the Caucasus.

Description and Physical Properties:

Ash is a strong and very hard-wearing wood (it measures 1320 on the Janka scale). Ash is similar in appearance to oak, but is frequently more yellow lighter. Heartwood color varies from light tan to dark brown, while sapwood is creamy white. Ash is distinguished by straight, coarse and moderately open grain that has some occasional wavy figuring. Ash is a hard, elastic wood with excellent shock resistance properties.

Uses:

Because of its resilience and rapid growth, ash has historically been one of the most versatile woods with far-ranging uses. Until World War II, ash trees were widely used for building and woodworking. In Scandinavian mythology, ash appears as the holy World Tree, Yggdrasil. It is said that its roots are anchored in the abyss of the underworld and watered by the streams of wisdom and faith. The trunk of the sacred ash is said to be supported by the earth while its crown touches the arc of heaven.

AMERICAN WALNUT

Black walnut (Juglans nigra) – grows only in central parts of North America.

Countries: Central states of the USA

Description:

American Walnut is known for the pronounced color difference between its sapwood and heartwood. While heartwood ranges from a deep, rich dark brown to a purplish black, sapwood is nearly white to tan. American walnut has mostly straight and open grain, although the grain can be curly or burled on some boards. Prominent color contrast and variation is what distinguishes American walnut hardwood from other species’ and gives it sought after exotic appearance and charm. Unlike most other wood species, American walnut tends to lighten over time.

Physical Properties:

Although softer than oak (1010 on the Janka scale), American walnut is a strong wood with excellent shock resistance properties.

Application:

Throughout history, American walnut has been a popular choice for manufacturing gunstocks, paddles, furniture and flooring.

SELECT & BETTER

Select and Better is the cleanest grade of hardwood. Grain texture is uniform and characterised by mild color and texture variations . Occasional non-contrasting carefully restored imperfections (10mm or smaller) are admitted since they do not stand out against the floor surface.

1 COMMON

When stained, wood surface appears uniform in shade and texture, making wood imperfections barely discernible. Color variation is prominent, though. Small burls, light brown streaks, restored knots up to 25mm, properly filled open checks and worm holes, slight imperfections in face work (torn grain) and burns are admitted. In general, 1 Common is a tasteful floor where natural variation is expected.

TAVERN

The face of a plank may contain diverse color variation, sapwood, unlimited burls, brown streaks, tight knots and properly filled open knots, as well as worm holes.

WARRANTIES

Structural Warranty

Structural warranty certifies Coswick products to be free from defects in milling, drying, grading and will not delaminate for a lifetime if following all necessary recommendations on transportation, storage, installation and care that were outlined in the section “Hardwood floor care”. Product quality variation that does not exceed 5% is industry standard and is not considered a factory defect. Products sold as waste, seconds or “as is” are not covered by this Warranty.

Because it is a natural product, hardwood flooring will continue to expand and contract through heating and non-heating seasons. Properly installed hardwood floors may consequently experience some separation between the boards at different times during the year. If such separations do occur, they are not covered by this Warranty. It is important to maintain relative indoor humidity as constant as possible (between 45% and 55% for solid hardwood flooring, and 40-65% for multi-layer engineered flooring). Use a humidifier or dehumidifier, as appropriate. Indoor temperature should range between 18 and 22° C.

Finish Warranty

Warranty states that when used under normal residential traffic conditions and maintained following Coswick Floor Maintenance Guide, factory applied lacquer surface finish will not wear through or separate from the wood for a full lifetime period from the date of purchase.

CosNanoTech+ and CosNanoTech+matte finish warranty is 25 years for use in residential spaces. CosNanoTech+com has 3-Year commercial finish warranty for use in public spaces and 35-year commercial finish warranty for use in residential spaces.

If during the installation any defective boards were found or the hardwood flooring does not meet the expectations on the reported quality, cancel the installation at once and contact the dealer at the place of purchase with these details. If it is confirmed, you can claim the replacement of defect hardwood flooring, replacement or return of the whole lot from the dealer’s representative. If there are any reasons for claims in accordance with the provisions of present Warranty, contact first the Coswick dealer at the place of purchase.
