Experts in “waterproof” parquet with an eye to future
Technologies for houses and construction elements
Puchegger u. Jilg is a leader in the production of parquet floor and has made a name for itself with its line of fully waterproof wooden floors. In order to improve the quality of their products, they chose a “celaschi tm40” profiling machine and a “dmc system” wide belt sander.
A top-quality artisan product manufactured using natural and renewable raw materials, all fully Made in Austria. Sonnberg Parkett is the brand which, since 2000, has made a name for the wooden floors produced by the company, Puchegger u. Jilg. A story which starts in the charming town of Wiener Neustadt, south of Vienna and has its roots in artisan craftsmanship thanks to the initiative and experience of the joiner, Alfred Puchegger. He founded the company in 1999 and he still heads it to this day together with his brother Christoph, like him, a qualified joiner and their partner Helmut Jilg. The teamwork was done by Puchegger u. Jilg is a leading company in the Austrian market and highly specialised not only in the production of wooden floors for interiors, terraces and gardens, but also cladding for staircases, doors, underfloor heating systems as well as care products for parquet
“We manufacture and lay the parquet by following all the rules for a 100% artisan product - they tell us -. At our plant in Wiener Neustadt, we have more than 70 employees who, with their skills, expertise and commitment, provide top quality performance levels every day to ensure our clients are completely satisfied”.
The range of services spans from consulting to design to the creation of top-quality products, right up to delivery and on-site assembly. Over the years, the company has expanded its working range, handling every aspect of wooden flooring and becoming a unique and highly specialised industry supplier for their clients.
“Our floors are produced with a multi-layer” structure of soft wood, an easy-to-install Click system and a quality wood cladding” explains the partners, adding that their production is also highly bespoke, with numerous surface design options.
Their research and development work, carried out by an internal team, is also fundamental. A continuous schedule of innovation which also lead to the creation of an exclusive brand like marinaflexx®. “Our R&D team developed the only pre-finished waterproof parquet floor and with no joins for wet, damp areas like bathrooms and kitchens. This parquet is also entirely manufactured by our team. It is made of sustainable materials and is easy to install because it leaves the factory ready to be laid”
The secret of this special flooring, as with all the Sonnberg Parkett range, lies in the technological innovation at the heart of its production which uses two SCM machines.
Three years ago, Puchegger u. Jilg purchased a profiling machine, the “celaschi tm40” designed to offer maximum precision and manufacturing quality while profiling, squaring and tenoning. Thanks to this highly flexible solution, it is possible to use a single machine for lengthwise and crosswise profiling of multilayer parquet with male and female profile. The boards are processed on each side by two scoring units and two profiling units. During crosswise processing, the pieces are semi-automatically loaded through a hopper feeder.
During lengthwise processing, feeding is executed manually. In both cases, the pieces are manually unloaded. The model also benefits from the advantages of Maestro active square software with Human-Machine-Interface for an efficient use, while still being simple and immediate.
For calibrating and sanding, the company chose a “dmc system” wide belt sander which proved perfect for the special configuration of marinaflexx® parquet floors. In order to make these floors 100% “waterproof”, and suitable for boats, jetties and swimming pools, Puchegger u. Jilg applies an internally produced resin onto the board grooves which creates a waterproof coating.
The main challenge faced by the company was to efficiently sand the parquet after applying this resin, which can reach a considerable thickness of 2-3 mm. The dmc system has been the ideal solution, capable of calibrating and sanding the material with the integration of a planer machining unit and traditional machining units with abrasive sanding belt. This combination guarantees a maximum level of finish and plenty of material removal up to 3 mm, required to fully remove excess resin from the surface, ensuring an even, high-quality finish on wood products.
The versatility of Maestro active sand interface made it easy to customise the dmc system’s machining parameters to adapt to the company’s specific needs, offering considerable improvement in the overall productivity.
"For us, it was important to find a supplier for the production of the marinaflexx(R) parquet that could realise technological solutions tailored to our needs. The partnership with SCM was the result.
