Wooden floors, due to their aesthetic value and natural character, enjoy unflagging popularity. Current trends are also important, and lately we can observe a growing popularity of
Chevron among them.
Today we will see how a two-layer parquet, which can be used to arrange a French CHEVRON pattern, is produced. Let's see how its made!
We start the process in a sawmill. To produce French CHEVRON, we use certified oak wood from Polish forests. Timber logs that have undergone the manipulation and debarking process are sent to the sawn timber production line.
First, the log is edged and cut into boards. Next, the dimensions and class of wood are determined. It all depends on the amount and type of knots. The knowledge and experience of employees are invaluable.
The next stage is cutting the boards to length according to the marking made by the employees. Next, we determine the width using an edger.
The right size wood is picked up from the line and stacked on pallets. Smaller elements are transported to optimising saws. They will be used to produce the baseboard. In the sawmill nothing is wasted, so sawdust and scraps will be used to produce wood pellets.
Let's get back to our boards. Lumber is sent to the dryer, where it has to give up excess moisture. In optimal conditions, it will stay here for around 40 days. After this time, the wood is transferred to the production plant in Klonowy Dwór, where the finished floor is produced.
In a reciprocating saw, the boards are sawn into thinner elements that will form the top layer of the parquet. In the case of French CHEVRON, it is 4 mm thick.
The next stage is gluing the two layers together. The machine takes in birch plywood, on which a layer of glue is applied, followed by the top, oak layer of the parquet. The machine arranges a package of floor forms and transports them to the presses. Here, the glue binds both layers.
After about 20 minutes, the compacted form is forwarded to a multi saw. In this machine it is divided in half. It is also undercut, which minimises the tension that arises during gluing.
On the next multi saw the undercut pieces are divided into single boards of a two-layer parquet.
Sanded boards then undergo the profiling process. They get their final dimensions here: length and width.
Mounting elements in the form of a tongue groove are also created. Employees check the quality of the operation. Next, the board is milled at an angle, which will allow the floor to be mounted in a CHEVRON pattern.
Now it’s time for the last stage of production. The machine collects parquet staves and places them on the automatic varnishing line. First, the board is sanded, then the brushing machine emphasises the structure of the grain on its surface. Subsequent layers of varnish are then applied to the wood prepared this way, ensuring - among others - durability and resistance to mechanical damage. Each of the layers, and in the case of French CHEVRON there are 7 of them, is hardened using UV rays.
Boards produced in this way then undergo final quality control and can be delivered to individual packaging.

Factories is a journey through production plants. We are visiting industry. We were inspired by the popular program "How it's made?" Known from the Discovery television channel. Every week, together with our viewers, we visit the production plant to check how the selected production process is going. Every week, our channel receives a documentary film, from which you learn how things are produced. Among others machines, rope slings, yachts, wires, windows, railroad switches, radiators, polystyrene etc. You are probably also interested in how food is made? On our channel we showed, among others frankfurters, Pepsi, kebab, salty sticks, mustards, ketchup, mayonnaise, cheese and many more. It's amazing how exciting production can be. Science and technology carry so much interesting information. Every week you get to know with us the curiosities of factories. The factory has no secrets for us.
