TERMS OF USE
MAINTENANCE WOODEN FLOORS WITH LACQUERED FINISH
The high quality wooden floors produced by Barlinek are made of real wood. These floors feature high utility and aesthetic values.
The manufacturer offers a warranty for the installed floors, provided that they are used in compliance with their guidelines:
1. The room temperature for wooden floors should be between +64.4°F and +75.2°F (18°C and 24°C).
2. Relative humidity in the room should be between 45% and 60%.
3. The maximum temperature on the surface of the boards installed over an underfloor heating system should not exceed 84,2°F (29°C).
It is forbidden to put carpets, runners, or furniture with legs the minimum height of which is less than 10cm, on any floors mounted
over an underfloor heating system.
4. Floor maintenance should be carried out using only the products recommended for that purpose: “Protektor Concentrate”, “Protektor
Komplet”, and “Protektor Shine”. If Barlinek care products are not available on the market, use care products from other manufacturers
intended for lacquered wooden floors. Before using a non-Barlinek care product, it is necessary to carry out the test on a hardly visible
surface of the floor. After the customer accepts the test result, this care product can be applied to the entire floor area. Information about
the method and frequency of floor maintenance can be found on the packaging of care products and on the www.Barlinek.com website.
Using other care products may result in changing the colour of the floor, forming of stains, changing the slipperiness of the floor surface,
or changing its gloss.
5. Daily care should be limited to normal vacuuming or sweeping of the floor.
6. The frequency of floor care depends on the amount of traffic.
7. Any sand present on the floor surface should be removed quickly. Any deposited sand causes scratches on the varnish layer and minor
dents and scratches on the surface of the wood.
8. The room with a wooden floor should have doormats that effectively remove sand, water, and other impurities, placed in front of and
behind entrance doors, terrace doors, etc.
9. Dry and soft brushes or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush (no beater bar) should be used for dust removal. You can also use a slightly
damp cloth with or without the addition of “Protektor Concentrate” or a proven (after testing) care products from another manufacturer.
Under no circumstances must wet traces remain on the floor, after cleaning.
10. Felt pads should be applied to all pieces of furniture and other interior fittings that are in direct contact with the floor
11. It is a requirement to use protective mats made of plastic, flooring, or carpets protecting the wooden floor against mechanical damage,
under chairs and other furniture with castors. Check and immediately remove any sand or other dirt that may get under the protective mat.
Failure to remove this type of dirt will scratch the surface layer of the floor under the protective mat. Barlinek engineered hardwood floor
exposed to light (UV rays) could result in a color change of the original flooring product.
12. Under no circumstances should the wooden floor be covered with PE foil or other moisture- and air-tight materials.
13. The floor can be renovated, by sanding and re-lacquering (float, glue or staple approved). The manufacturer authorizes the use of
lacquers intended for wooden floors, if used in accordance with the guidelines for their application, during renovation. The number of floor
renovations consisting in “removing” the surface layer of wood depends on the depth of mechanical damage. Before starting mechanical
renovation (sanding), analyze the condition of the floor and whether it is possible to carry out mechanical renovation, or not.
14. Ignoring the afore-mentioned recommendations will void the warranty on the material and service immediately.
15. The manufacturer allows only for the use of boards manufactured using the floating and adhesive assembly systems, if installed over
underfloor heating systems.
16. Before installing board on an underfloor heating system, the customer should perform heat treatment of the floor, in accordance with the
“Heat Treatment Protocol for floors”. A completed and signed “Heat Treatment Protocol for floors” constitutes an annex to the Warranty
Certificate. If such a protocol is not produced, it will void the warranty on the floorboard installed on the underfloor heating system.
17. If using the floating system, it is recommended to use the underlayment materials or similar that is recommended by Barlinek. The use of
other materials may result in a defective installation of the entire floor.
18. Information concerning the installation of the board on the underfloor heating can be found in the installation manual and on the
www.Barlinek.com website.
IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the customer to make sure that the cleaning personnel is familiar with the afore-mentioned “Terms of use maintenance
