Fresco duna in antique house’s bathroom
Posted: December 1st, 2010 | Author: koan | Filed under: private houses | Tags: bathroom, Fresco, Fresco Duna, natural oiled floors | No Comments »One of mafi’s massage effect floors is now installed in a 400 year old private house in Bavaria/GER. They used the Beech Vulcano Fresco duna not only for the floor but also for the bath tub covering. This is a very difficult installation because of the surfaces structure and the humid conditions in bathrooms. On the pictures you can see that each plank of the covering is ongoing around the edge.
Please also have a look on the perfectly done solution of the connection areas to tiles and to a 400 year old stone wall where the the floor exactly follows the shape of the natural stone wall.
Technical information to natural wooden floors in bathrooms:
The planks must be glued to the subfloor firmly with elastic adhesive. Impregnate the cut edges with mafi Wood Floor Oil so that the wood does not swell. An Expansion gap of min. 5 mm must be left at the edge – also when the join is with sanitary ware (baths, shower basins, etc…)
Subsequent treatment with the appropriate mafi Wood Floor Oil is absolutely necessary after installation. The regular care should be with mafi Wood Floor Soap. Subsequent care is carried out as required using mafi Wood Floor Soap. Please avoid pools of water on the wood’s surface and/ or soak up immediately!
