Plankflooring Bacteriostatic Chêne de l’est Chêne de l'est offers a lacquered finish with antibacterial properties. Because hygiene and health safety have become one of the major concerns of our society, because it' s important to keep a healthy house with a floor as clean as possible, we bring you THE solution! A plankflooring with antibacterial properties with a matt lacquered finish. Bacteria can be brought in by shoes, animals, spilled liquids... Today this spread can be limited thanks to bacteriostatic lacquered parquet. This specific varnish reduces the development of bacteria on the surface of the floor. Bacteriostatic finishes do not kill bacteria but prevent them from growing, limit their multiplication and can prevent the appearance of biofilms. These finishes are effective against bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus... The maintenance of the floor will be done with suitable antibacterial products. This antibacterial action doesn't reduce the performance of the finish to another level.

FN Neuhofer | Franz Neuhofer 80 years old 80 years old and still in the firm every day Franz Neuhofer Sr. is celebrating his 80th birthday The successful family firm of FN Neuhofer with its registered office in Zell am Moos, Austria is celebrating two occasions in one this year.

Having started as a small mill and a sawmill, FN Neuhofer is now a recognised profile and accessories supplier for floors, walls and ceilings at the top of this international sector. FN Neuhofer exports 96 % of all its products from its headquarters in Zell am Moos, sending them to over 70 countries around the world. Franz Neuhofer took over the sawmill from his father in 1965. In 1985 the joint decision was taken to focus on the manufacture of profiles and massive investment in expanding the site and in the machinery followed. The sawmill was closed in 1998 and a modern logistics centre was built on the firm’s existing premises. In 2000 Franz Neuhofer Senior handed over management of the business. Franz Neuhofer is now successfully managing the firm as a member of the 10th generation. “When I look back on “370 years of Neuhofer”, I’m proud and also a bit humble. Only a few family-run businesses can look back on such a long history. I’m very pleased that our children have found their way both in their personal and professional lives. Our grandchildren are also doing great – that gives me high hopes for the future,” says Franz Neuhofer Senior, who even today is still to be found (almost) every day in Production or in his office and who is involved by his son with the greatest respect in all strategic decisions. “Even today, the construction and investment can’t go fast enough for him,” says Franz Neuhofer.
