| Technical purpose of product or process | The wooden floorboards consists of three layers (Figure 2). A layer of usable surface (from 2.7 - 6.6 mm) is covered with varnish seven times or oil twice. Both finishes form a thin, flexible and durable protective layer on the floor surface. The middle layer (from 6.0 mm -16.0 mm) consists of transversely arranged spruce slats that strengthen the flexibility of the floor. The bottom layer (approx. 1.8 mm) is made of a uniform spruce veneer, which stabilizes and stiffens the whole structure. The basic technical parameters and properties of the products are listed in Table 1 and Table 2 of declaration. Types of three-layered wooden floor construction => three-layered wooden floor – 14,6 mm Floors of a total thickness of 14.6 mm. Thanks to the renovatable layer of as many as 6.6 mm, this type of flooring may be renovated up to 9 times. The structure is made of spruce wood, which is characterized by high resistance to room humidity and temperature fluctuations throughout the year. The boards are finished with 7 coatings of varnish or 2 coatings of oil. Glued down to the subfloor, in the T&G installation system. => three-layered wooden floor – 14 mm / 21,3 mm Floors with a total thickness of 14 mm and 21,3 mm, with a 3,5 mm-thick renovatable layer, which makes it possible to renovate the floor up to 3 times. They are installed in the 5G, T&G and 2LOC systems. The structure is made of spruce wood, which is characterized by high resistance to room humidity and temperature fluctuations throughout the year. The boards are finished with 7 coatings of varnish or 2 coatings of oil. => three-layered wooden floor – 13,3 mm / 10,5 mm Floors with a total thickness of 13,3 mm and 10,5 mm, with a 2,7 mm-thick renovatable wood layer. Such a thickness makes it possible to renovate the floor two times. The floors are installed in the 2LOC system. They perform well in interiors fitted with underfloor heating. They are finished with 7 coatings of varnish. The structure is made of spruce wood, which is characterised by high resistance to room humidity and temperature fluctuations throughout the year. Joint systems => joint system 5G A distinct “click” sound signalling floorboards becoming locked together during installation. No extra tools needed for assembly. Optional locking of 2LOC boards (only on the long side of the board). Installation over an underfloor heating system is possible. Installation in the floating and glue-down systems. => joint system 2LOC Capability to freely expand and contract in the horizontal plane. Possible assembly and disassembly of the floorboards. Optional locking of 5G boards (only on the long side of the board). Installation over an underfloor heating system is possible. Installation in the floating and glue-down systems. => joint system T&G A traditional adhesive-based tongue-and-groove joint. The joint becomes durable after a dedicated engineering adhesive has been applied and has set. The adhesive is applied on the long and short sides of the board, and along the whole of the groove. The durability of the joint will be conditional upon the parameters of the applied adhesive. |
| General comment on data set | The data selected for LCA originate from ITB-LCI questionnaires completed by manufacturer using the inventory data, ITB and Ecoinvent v. 3.9 databases. No data collected is older than five years and no generic datasets used are older than ten years. The representativeness, completeness, reliability, and consistency are judged as good. Polish electricity was calculated based on Ecoinvent v 3.9 supplemented by actual national KOBiZE data. The allocation rules used for this EPD are based on general ITB-PCR A. 3-layer wooden floorboard production is a line process with multiple co-products in one factory located in Poland. Allocation is done on product mass basis and volume for wood. All impacts from raw materials extraction and processing are allocated in A1 module of EPD. 99% of impacts from line production were inventoried and allocated to all 3-layer wooden floorboard production. Municipal waste and waste water of whole factory were allocated to module A3. Energy supply was inventoried for whole production process. Emissions in the manufacturing plant are measured and were allocated to module A3. Packaging materials were taken into consideration. They are recycled in a closed loop. The life cycle analysis (LCA) of the declared products covers product stage – modules A1-A3, use stages – modules B4-B6, end of life – modules C1-C4 and benefits and loads beyond the system boundary – module D (cradle-to-gate with options) in accordance with EN 15804 + A2 and ITB-PCR A. The details of systems limits are provided in product technical report. All materials and energy consumption inventoried in factory were included in calculation. Office impacts were also taken into consideration. In the assessment, all significant parameters from gathered production data are considered, i.e. all material used per formulation, utilised thermal energy, internal fuel and electric power consumption, direct production waste, and all available emission measurements. It can be assumed that the total sum of omitted processes does not exceed 5% of all impact categories. In accordance with EN 15804 + A2, machines and facilities (capital goods) required for the production as well as transportation of employees were not included in LCA. |
