7 Satisfy your desires...and at the same time listen to your common sense. To produce well designed products we need to know the environment where it will be used and the different needs that are placed on the floor in this environment. Many years of experience have given us a solid knowledge base when developing our assortment. We know that aesthetics are important as well as the technical performance. These two go hand in hand to become design. One thing can t live without the other. 184 Oak Ice White HW Oak Coffee Brown HW Oak Steel Grey HW664

8 You feel the best when you feel at home... Care and maintenance...that s our philosophy when we develop new designs and finishes. We have today an assortment, which we are very proud of and no matter what interior style you prefer you will be able to find something to fit your taste and demands. Tomorrows floors are growing now. As a part of our vision to preserve our future needs of raw material and in the long run our planet, we seek cooperation with our suppliers and organisations that help in this direction. One of those is FSC. The trademark of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) indicates that the wood used to make the product comes from a forest, which is well managed according to strict environmental, social and economic standards. The forest of origin has been independently inspected and evaluated according to the principles and criteria for forest management agreed and approved by the Forest Stewardship Council. FSC is an international, non-profit association whose membership comprises environmental and social groups and progressive forestry and wood retail companies working in partnership to improve forest management worldwide. Fall in love at first sight - be convinced at the second. Compared to solid wood floors, engineered hardwood floors make the most of the slower growing hardwoods that form the decorative surface. The effective yield is three times the level of material that would be produced with a solid wood construction. Our floors are guaranteed to last 30 years so you can be sure that a floor from LM will live up to your expectations. Sustainable Design Forest footprint is up to 10 times less than other engineered wood flooring manufacturers. This is because 75% of the boards construction is made using fast growing hardwood. Which translates into far less old-growth trees harvested per square meter of flooring that we produce. Our fast-growing plantation hardwood trees, which are used to produce the core construction grow up to 25 meters tall within a 6-10 year harvest cycle. Most solid wood flooring products are constructed of 100% old-growth hardwood trees, which require years per harvest cycle. Plantation hardwoods are grown on tree farms, not at the expense of natural forest. Many of our plantations were originally developed as government mandated erosion-control programs and contribute to a more stable, enriched habitat and healthier air quality. Environmentally Responsible Manufacturing As an ISO factory (Certificate # -SGS CH05/0169), we are among a very select group of wood flooring manufacturers which meet the most stringent environmental management standards. Our factory undergoes annual independent audits which monitor our impact on surrounding habitats (air, water & land) and improvements thereof. We actively support forestry management and illegal-logging ban initiatives in pursuit of protecting our industry from illegal and unfair business practices at the expense of one of earth s most precious resources. We are members of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and our factory is FSC certified (certificate# SGS-COC-2901) to produce FSC certified flooring. Quality Control As an ISO 9001 factory (certificate # -SGS CN04/0077), we adhere to the quality standards and are constantly improving our product quality specifications and manufacturing processes, which are independently audited on an annual basis. This translates into a more consistent product, lower defect rates, and less wasted material. What surface do you prefer? Silk matt lacquer Silk matt lacquer makes the floor very hardwearing and easier to clean. Our silk matt lacquer also complements the wood s character by accentuating its natural living structure and natural beauty. Cleaning LM-flooring is treated with a UVcured lacquer, which gives it a smooth, easy-to-clean surface. With any wood product it is wise to limit the amount of water that is used and we recommend regular vacuuming to control dust and prevent particles of grit from being walked into the surface. Periodically the floor can be cleaned with a well-wrung mop. Use a neutral detergent, maximum ph 8. Please ensure that any water that is applied becomes dry within one minute. A spillage will not mark your floor if you wipe it up immediately. Matt lacquer Our matt lacquer almost gives the impression that the floor is completely untreated bare wood, or treated with natural oil. Hard Facts By their very nature, different wood species have different levels of hardness. The hardness is measured using the Brinell method. This involves pressing a 10mm diameter steel ball against the parquet surface with prescribed force and duration. The resultant indentation is then measured, and the Brinell value is calculated. The harder the wood, the higher the Brinell value. (The structure of wood means there can be variations, but the specified value is the average, taken from a large number of measurements.) Precautionary Measures Keep a door mat both outside and inside entrance doors, this will remove dirt and gravel before it is walked in, which will greatly reduce the wear on your floor. Furniture legs should be fitted with felt pads to avoid unnecessary marks and scratches on the floor, use castor cups to protect the floor from castor damage. After the floor has been in use for a few years, you can easily revitalise it with an additional coat of lacquer. Mop up any spills; never allow water or other liquids to lie on the floor. Renovation If the floor has been subjected to considerable wear, it can be renovated by machine sanding and re-lacquering. Your LM floor has a thick top layer, so they are able to withstand being sanded and re-lacquered.

If this does not work, please refer to your flooring supplier for further assistance. 15 Facts and info Nature oil Nature oil gives your floor a wonderfully natural and beautiful feel. The oil brings out the wood s wonderful texture and graining, and enriches the natural wood colour. Floors treated with Nature oil require an additional coat of oil after installation. 14 Facts and info Wood exposed to normal sunlight is subject to colour changes. As with all natural products made from wood, these changes are expected and add to the beauty and distinctiveness of wood floors.
