Multi-Layered Engineered Solid Wood Flooring (IONWOOD)

The structures of multi-layered engineered solid wood flooring are built by arranging various layers of constructional veneers, which are bonded face to face with the grain running in alternate directions. This method has been recognized as an effective way to prevent unequal shrinkage of wood. The IONWOOD multi-layered engineered solid wood flooring will not expand and contract with changes in temperature or humidity.

 

 

6 Benefits of Sugawa IONWOOD

What are negative ions? You can't see, taste or even smell them but yet in nature they are found abundant around us. They help our bodies in sustaining and improving our health. In nature, negative ions are generated by natural processes such as ray of the sun, lightning that strikes the air, wave movements from the ocean and from waterfalls.

Did you know that humid weather conditions make an ideal breeding ground for termites? Australia faces one of the most serious problems with termites. Scientists have discovered a non-hazardous yet effective formula to help prevent termites attack against wood products. This formula is strictly adhered to by the Australians, and multi-layered engineered solid wood flooring boards are produced based on that stringent standard.

The structures of multi-layered engineered solid wood flooring are built by arranging various layers of constructional veneers, which are bonded face to face with the grain running in alternate directions. This method has been recognized as an effective way to prevent unequal shrinkage of wood. IONWOOD Flooring products are more resistant to expansion and contraction than solid hardwood floors due to its multi cross layered base, rendering it extremely stable.

Usually after renovation work is completed. the occupants' eyes tend to feel irritated. This is caused by the pungent smelling gas formaldehyde which is found in paints and adhesives used. On 5th June 2004, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced under clause 153 that formaldehyde is the main cause of many cancers. This prompted European countries to regulate all construction materials to contain under E1 level of formaldehyde to ensure that the health of mankind is not affected. Multi-layered engineered solid wood flooring boards takes this to a higher level by bringing to you flooring boards that achieved the E0 level , whereby the formaldehyde content is lower than that set according to the European standard. Multi-layered engineered solid wood flooring offer you luxurious, high quality and safe living.

The surface of multi-layered engineered solid wood flooring boards are coated with 12 layers of under coating varnish and 1 layer of finishing coating varnish. Therefore, the surfaces of flooring boards are well-protected against just about any liquids found in our living space: coffee, sauces, paints, fruit juices and so forth. You can rest assured that no liquids will be able to seep through the surfaces of multi-layer engineered solid wood flooring, keeping them glossy and in good condition always.

The multi-layered flooring is coated with sapphire powder, this coating can effectively prevent the floor from scratches. An experiment tested on the surface of the flooring, using a diamond needle showed that the surface of the flooring is resistant towards scratches, rated as H9. The results showed that these flooring are suitable and safe to be used in commercial building. This wood flooring can add values to a property as well as reduce the cost of repair or maintenance.

The Needs Of Negative Ions

In recent years, the development of the city leads to rapid deterioration of the Earth's natural resources and environment. The Earth has become acidic, diseases surge and conventional treatments have reached their limits. Today, most of the modern diseases are caused by the increased amount of positive ions. Therefore, negative ion is the key to improvement of health and prevention of diseases.

What are negative ions? You can't see, taste or even smell them but yet in nature they are found abundant around us. They help our bodies in sustaining and improving our health. Negative ions make us feel good and they destroy the harmful bacteria. In nature, negative ions are generated by natural processes such as the ray of the sun, lightning that strikes the air, wave movements from the ocean and from waterfalls. Negative ions are found in great quantity in these areas. Our modern homes and offices today tend to have minimal quantity of these negative ions but with IONWOOD flooring, you can combat the ill feelings associated with stressful life and have a balanced and healthy lifestyle. You will feel better; more relaxed and energized in the presence of negative ions.

The 21st  Century's First Anion Floor Technology

To build the most effective negative ions wood flooring, we have developed the most advanced negative ion activation technology. We pulverize high-grade natural negative ion producing mineral and gemstones, including Germanium and tourmaline into nano particles, and infuse it into our engineered wood flooring using a proprietary process. We use the negative ions activation technology to activate the negative ion, ensuring that the wood flooring continuously releasing negative ions, so that the family can reap the benefits of negative ions have to offer.
