Production Procedures

Model: Production Procedures on wood flooring, engineered flooring | Date:2024-11-02

 Producing the Face Veneer, step by step 

1. The raw material (oak, ash, etc.) is kiln dried and then stacked.
2. The raw material is machined into geometrically accurate cubes.
3. The raw material cubes are sliced into thin (3 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm) veneer pieces.
4. The thin veneer pieces are selected and graded (nature, rustic).
5. For 2 and 3 strips flooring, thin veneer pieces are glued together to form a face veneer sheet. This process can be done manually (See picture 4, above) or automatically.

Producing the Core Board and plywood, step by step

1. The raw material (poplar, pine, birch, eucalyptus) is kiln dried and then stacked.
2. The raw material is machined into geometrically accurate strips (three-ply) or rotary cut into veneer (multi-ply)
3. The strips or veneers are selected.
4. The strips or veneers are glued together to form core board or plywood.
5. Core board or plywood is stacked.

Producing the Back Veneer, step by step

1. Poplar logs are rotary cut.
2. Poplar veneer rolls are cut into veneer sheets.
3. Back veneer sheets are selected.
4. Back veneer sheets are stacked.

Assembling the 3 layers and making Engineered Wood Flooring

1. Placing face veneers on plywood (multiply) or on core board and back veneer (three ply)
2. Hot pressing into one single wood block.
3. Cutting wood block into individual planks.
4. Effecting repairs.
5. Sanding the face veneer.
6. Sanding the back.
7. Lengthwise tongue and groove.
8. Widthwise tongue and groove.
9. Plank selection.

Varnishing

1. Sanding.
2. First coating - drying.
3. Second coating - drying.
4. Third coating - drying.
5. Sanding.
6. Fourth coating - drying.
7. Fifth coating - drying.
8. Sixth coating - drying.
9. Varnish inspection, plank selection and grading.

Note: 3 strips flooring is first varnished and then profiled
