Common areas Parklex’s quality is based on the materials and processes used in its manufacture. This quality is evident precisely where the product suffers the most wear: common areas with intensive traffic, where any material suffers a high degree of wear. Parklex performs at the highest levels in these areas, with its properties remaining unchanged. Simple maintenance is enough to prolong the life of these coverings, which immediately makes them economical.

Rooms A hotel’s true category can be seen in its rooms: comfort, quality and an inviting atmosphere are some of the requirements that clients value when settling into a hotel room. This comfort must extend to both areas of any guest room: Bedrooms: wood is a noble material that perfectly transmits the feelings of quality and comfort that we desire. Different finishes allow decorators and architects to experiment with combinations on any type of surface, which permits them to decorate the floor, walls and ceiling in the same wood.
Bathrooms: moisture is the one factor that generally determines the materials used in bathrooms. Thanks to the production and treatment processes that Parklex gives natural wood, it is possible to use Parklex coverings in any bathroom area, including the shower, to transform them into areas that are just as attractive as the rest of the room.

Technical characteristics
About Parklex Production process
Each type of Parklex is subjected to a different production process, depending on its final application: interiors, exteriors, damp areas, etc. The base is always high-density laminated wood with a paper fiber core that has been treated with thermosetting resins and compressed at high pressure and temperature.
Finishes
Perfect adaptation to the project design is an essential requirement. That’s why the technology used to manufacture Parklex allows us to apply different finishes, all in natural wood, to integrate them completely into the environment that is required for each project.
International
Providing service on an international level has meant establishing an extensive network of Parklex distributors on all five continents. This allows us to work more closely with our clients and offer them better service in a way that is more accessible to them. It also lets us understand their needs perfectly and first hand.
Guarantees / Quality Certificates
Rigorous testing guarantees Parklex’s excellent performance.
Natural wood
The surface is always made from 100% natural wood, treated according to its application: to resist special weather conditions or to perfectly resist the intensive use it might receive in interiors.
Range
The variety of finishes and colors in natural and dyed panels sets Parklex apart as a result of its versatility, making it the ideal covering from any type of project.
Architects
The best architects in the world use Parklex in their most emblematic creations. Why is this so? Because they feel comfortable and at ease, and because the results do not disappoint them. Without a doubt, it is because at Parklex we have been working for over 15 years on a daily basis with architects from all over the world, including, for example, Santiago Calatrava, Frank Gehry, Norman Foster, Jean Nouvel and Nicholas Grimshaw, adapting our range to their requirements. This has made Parklex the natural wood covering of choice in many of the best quality and best-known projects in the world. This can only be achieved by a brand with an absolute guarantee, capable of offering the perfect product, totally adapted to their needs, with problem-free application.
Parklex – The ideal solution Quality and performance are only the most visible results of Parklex. As if this weren’t enough, the advantages offered by Parklex are evident from the moment it is installed, up to its long-term maintenance.
Characteristics
Ease of installation.
Maintenance.
The floating flooring system is simple and low-cost. The rest of the products may be easily installed, following clear, professional instructions.
Parklex does not require any sort of scraping or varnishing as part of its maintenance. It need only be lightly cleansed with a mop, using liquid ph-neutral soap and water.
Acoustic absorption.
Service.
Parklex 500 and Parklex 700 may be perforated, making them the ideal materials for acoustic absorption. They have been manufactured specifically for interiors where the acoustic factor is important.
Parklex has a technical support department to answer any questions regarding product assembly and to give advice on the most appropriate type of covering to meet every need.
Strength.
Quality.
Material for intensive use indoor areas is made with the highest quality natural wood panels that have been impregnated using the Gureprex system, which provides a series of benefits with regards to abrasion, moisture resistance, hardness, scratch resistance and dimensional stability that are far superior to any of the varnish-treated products currently found on the market.
Parklex means quality. All our products have earned the CE mark and carry an absolute guarantee. Exterior panels are manufactured according to the European standard EN 438, which applies to HPL (high pressure laminates). This is why Parklex is the covering preferred by the world’s most prestigious architects.
Moisture resistance.
Fire behavior.
The technology used by Parklex to manufacture the exterior coverings completely guarantees them against extreme weather conditions: rain, sun, humidity and heat. This same technology allows us to provide a material for interiors with identical resistance properties. Parklex therefore provides the ideal product for damp areas.
The entire Parklex line is classified according to the new European standard EN 13.501-1:2002 regarding reaction to fire, obtaining the best results possible for organic materials.

Parklex is manufactured from fine timber veneers, therefore the colour and grain of different batches will exhibit natural variations. Due to the limitations of printed media, the finishes printed in this catalogue are merely an approximation of their real color. For this reason, before placing any order, Parklex recommends consulting our sales personnel to request actual samples.
