what we do...
what makes us
stand out
The Barlinek Group is a respected manufacturer of wooden floorings - the biggest in Poland and one of the world leaders.
The three-layer Barlinek floorboard, a trademark product of the
company, is currently exported to over 30 countries in three continents.
Barlinek is one of the most modern and at the same time environment-friendly
manufacturing plants in Poland. It owes its position to investment in new technologies, machines, production halls, warehouses and ecological solutions.
It reached imposing productive powers up to the mark of 11,5 million metres
of layered floorings a year.
In response to the growing demand from foreign markets, Barlinek is increasing
its production capacity. In Autumn 2007, Barlinek opened its first plant abroad,
in Vinnytsia, Ukraine. At the beginning of 2008, it took over the largest Romanian
wood processing factory. In the nearest future, further investments in Ukraine are
to be made and opening of the first plant in Russia is being planned.
In 2005, Barlinek S.A. made its successful debut on
the Warsaw Stock Exchange. Winning the financiers’
recognition confirms the accuracy of Barlinek’s development strategy, consequently implemented, aiming at
expansion into new markets while preserving the invariably high quality of the products as well as the service.
This is also acknowledged by the numerous prizes and
distinctions awarded to the company by different professional groups and consumers.

INTRODUCTION
Barlinek S.A.
pays great attention to
the natural environment
– greenhouse effect
Barlinek production plants are the most environment-friendly in the industry.
Thanks to investments in modern pro-ecological installations it was possible to
reduce dust and gases emission by almost 100%. However, the involvement of
the company in nature preservation is much more than just ensuring conformity
of the production standards with the highest requirements.
It is well-known that the reason for climate change, visible to the naked eye, are
greenhouse gases - mostly CO2. Carbon dioxide is a product of combustion of
regular fuel such as carbon, oil or gas. The amount and speed of its emission is
so huge that nature is not able to cope using its natural absorption capacity. The
greenhouse gases collecting in the atmosphere cause retention of extra thermal
energy on the Earth.
What does Barlinek say to it?
There are of course numerous methods of preventing climate change - however
planting new trees and replacing regular fuel with biofuel produced from renewable resources (ex. biomass or pellet) is the best form of action.
Barlinek produces its own thermal energy by means of biomass combustion
(sawdust, bark and the other wood waste generated in the production of Barlinek floorboards). This way the company avoids the emission of destructive and
excessive amounts of CO2.
Furthermore, applying the „1 for 1” programme, which means new trees are still
planted, Barlinek contributes to the recovery of forest resources that naturally,
in the process of photosynthesis, absorb carbon dioxide and emit oxygen.
Thanks to this, Barlinek alleviates global climate change.
That’s not all!
We produce pellets and promote their use in housekeeping as a substitute for
carbon or oil, contributing to the reduction of CO2 emission even more!

Numerous ecological activities by
Barlinek in Poland and abroad aim
at making society more aware of the
need to protect nature.
The most popular campaign is „1

in exchange for each sold pack of
Barlinek floorboards with the “1 for 1”
logo.
This is how the Customers’ Forest
came into existence. There are already over four million trees.

A special task for Barlinek is to look

unusual monument of nature.

ECOLOGY
Barlinek floorboard is distinguishable by its BARCLICK joint
solution, developed by the technical staff of Barlinek S.A.
Work on its construction and implementation took several years. The research covered
different kinds of wood (native as well as exotic) and was carried out at a special laboratory which enabled simulation of the variable microclimate conditions of a room adapted
to natural use conditions in different parts of the world.
The benefits of the BARCLICK system:
simple, quick and clean installation without adhesive,
strong and durable joint between individual elements of the floor,
immediate ready-to-use floor right after installation,
asy to dismantle if necessary (moving flat, general redecoration etc.),
possibility of second installation: the inlet-outlet joint is strong and durable nough
so that you can do it without worry.

INTRODUCTION
Barlinek is the only plant in Europe that brings together the whole production process
in one place. It guarantees complete control over each stage of processing the wood
as well as economical use of the material. Acquiring as precious a material as natural
wood, Barlinek does its best to take full advantage of it. Top quality wood is used for
the production of Barlinek floorboards, veneer and skirting boards, and the lower grade
wood for the production of ecological biofuel, pellets. Thermal energy for heating and
technological processes is obtained from bark and waste. Post-production sawdust is
used for pellet production. We produce Barlinek floorboards, veneer and skirting-boards
from the most precious part of the log. Bark is sold as a decorative element for the garden or makes biomass. Waste makes biomass.
After production wood straw
is used in pellets’ production
out of the most precious
part of the tree log we produce

Classification
of Barlinek floorboards

comply with the highest standards of safety for people and the natural environment. This
is testified by the PZH (National Institute of Hygiene) certificate obtained by Barlinek. The
floorboards can be easily installed in bedrooms, children rooms or kindergartens.

An answer to the latest trends coming from Western Europe. Reduced width and chamfer
stress the aesthetic values of the new series. A subtle cant of each edge (chamfer), invisible at
first sight, extracts the natural beauty of wood and optically elongates the board, making it look
lighter and giving a sense of depth. The floor does not form a homogenous plate, because the
edges of the boards reflect light and can be felt to the touch.

of finish
VARNISHING – in varnishing Barlinek floorboards, we apply multiple layers of UV hardened
acrylic varnish. The basic range of Barlinek floorboards is covered with semi-matt varnish (the
reflection coefficient is 20ş on the Gardner scale). High-gloss floors are also available, finished
with varnish with a reflection coefficient of 95ş on the Gardner scale or a new-generation varnish
with increased resistance to wear and tear and mechanical damage.
The most important benefits of UV hardened acrylic varnish layers are: high aesthetic values
and working properties; lack of harmful substances; high flexibility of the surface; resistance to
ageing; ease of maintenance and keeping clean; no negative influence on working conditions
and natural environment.
Three-layer board
– with three rows of staves
through the width
of a board (reminding
of traditional parquet).
One-layer board
– without a visible face
stave (reminding
of a firm wood).
OILING – ecological oil does not create any additional layer on the surface of the floor, but gets
into the wood and impregnates it. This process brings out the natural structure and tree-rings
in the surface. The oil can tint in different colours, for example to produce the effect of a whitewashed floor. Oiled Barlinek floorboards acquire the more unique look of a stylish wooden floor
with time.

of the varnish layer: it is very resistant and durable, it has higher resistance
to wear and tear, durability to mechanical damage, it’s flexible and the
varnish works together with the base, making it more damage-proof.
Furthermore, thespecial ANTI-SCRATCH formula of the top layer varnish
makes the surface more microscratch-resistant, and a low surface tension forms a barrier preventing humidity from getting into the edges of the

For those who are looking for surprisingly fresh and intriguing colour options, I honestly recommend espresso brushed oak. It is a great solution
for original interiors with a modern atmosphere and a dash of extravagance
and exclusiveness.Thanks to a special technique of colouring wood, an unusual and very decorative negative effectwas achieved - dark colour covers
the back of the fibre, whereas the grooves of the rings stay a natural colour
of oak. The surface of espresso oak is additionally subjected to a brushing
operation, which makes it look older and adds nobility.

such as halls, but also kitchen alcoves or studio flats or any other room

example, in an oriental style.

Asking is good
- the most important questions to be posed to
a specialist: What to take into consideration
when choosing a floor?
Having to choose a floor from what is available on the market can give you
a headache. A person renovating or decorating a flat needs to think about
the aesthetics and properties of the wood, but they also need to consider
the construction and installation of the floor. That’s why it is worth consulting a specialist before deciding on a purchase.
We posed a few crucial questions that can help in making the right choice
and planning the installation to the Master of Floor Installing, who also
acts as an expert appointed by the court and a wood expert, Mr
Czesław Bortnowski.
wooden floors
are the best and the
healthiest for people
Mr Czesław, we enter a shop and we
can see layered floors on the right and
laminated panels on the left. At first sight,
there is no difference between them, perhaps apart from the price...
No - the difference between a laminate
and a three-layer board is crucial. It’s as if
you compared natural milk with milk powder. In a nutshell, a panel is an artificial article made of processed shavings and a layer
of paper pressed over it whereas a layered
floorboard, such as the Barlinek floorboard,
is a natural wood product.
Why are wooden floors so healthy?
As an experienced floor installer I could
talk about the advantages of wood for hours.
Wood breathes and regulates the microclimate of houses and flats. It absorbs humidity and gives it back when the air gets drier.
Furthermore, it ionizes the air, does not pick
up static and does not attract dust. This is
very important, especially for those susceptible to allergies. Finally, wooden floors guarantee thermal insulation of a room, which is
felt as a warm floor, and acoustic insulation
– deadened noises.
Exactly. The three layer natural wooden
floors you mentioned – what makes them
stand out?
Multilayer floors are great because of,
among things, the high resistance to deformation. The special construction of Barlinek
floorboards and the snap joint that is used
allow wood to behave naturally (shrink and
swell). This reduces the appearance of spoiling cracks, so typical in traditional parquets.
Barlinek floorboards, thanks to these properties and their optimal thickness, can be installed on under-floor heating. Easy, quick
and clean installation is another advantage.
You can install the floorboards on your own,
saving time and money that you would pay
if you hired a specialist. Barlinek floorboards
are varnished during the manufacturing process, so you do not need to do it at home.
Right after installation, the room can be furnished and the decorating is done.
easy, quick and clean
installation
specific technical parameters. In the case
of floorboards, the most important is indent
resistance and resistance to thermal and air
humidity changes. This is why it is worth paying attention to the character of the room –
for high traffic rooms, such as living rooms,
floorboards made of harder wood are recommended; for example, beech, oak, ash or
hornbeam. Exotic wood floorboard will do as
well. Cheaper kinds with lower parameters,
such as maple, birch or alder – are good
enough to work as floors in bedrooms. Places and rooms that are used intensively, such
as halls, corridors or stairs, are worth investing in some very hard exotic wood. The most
recommended in this case are: tali, badi,
jatobe and merbau.
What’s the function of varnish? What
features does new generation varnish
have?
Varnish does not make the floor harder
but it protects it from dirt and wear and tear.
Recently, floorboards with a new generation varnish finish have become available on
the market, with a higher scratch and even
mechanical damage resistance. Owing to
greater elasticity, the varnish layer does not
crack (for example when we drop an object
on it) and still protects the wood.
What to choose: a floorboard with an
oil or varnish finish?
So we have decided to take Barlinek
floorboards. Now we need to choose a
specific pattern and a type of finish. What
is more important – the kind of wood or
varnish?
Both are equally important. The choice of
wood not only determines the aesthetic values, but also the durability. Each kind has
Well, it depends on our preference. The
main difference between them is that oil
gets into the structure of the wood, protecting it from wear and tear and damage, at the same time exposing the beauty
and naturalness of this material. Tiny microscratches, appearing especially in the
initial period of use, are less visible in the

as many as seven layers of UV hardened
varnish, which forms a very good protection against wear and tear, scratches and
other damage. For intensively used rooms,
oil enters the structure
and stresses the beauty
of wood
So I already know what floorboard to
choose. You said it is possible to install
the Barlinek floorboards on my own. But
how? How do I start? I’ve never done this
before.
There’s always a first time (smile). Floating floor installation is always easy. First of all,
carefully read the installation instructions attached to each floorboard pack. Then, after
getting the floorboards home, you need to let
them acclimatize for at least 48 hours. Just
leave the unpacked floorboards in a horizontal position in the room where the floor is to
be installed.
varnish or oil finish
are fully safe
for your health
I would recommend Barlinek Professional
series with a special Anti-Scratch formula, that makes the Barlinek floorboard even
more microscratch-resistant.
A few years ago we were installing a parquet floor at my mother’s. I can remember the specific smell of varnish still lingered even a week after varnishing. During
this period, our mother stayed with us because her allergy to different paints and
varnish meant she couldn’t stay at home.
Is it the same with floorboards finished at
manufacturing? Is it possible to smell varnish?
Both oil and varnish are completely safe.
They do not contain harmful substances. No
dust or smells rise into the air in the house.
They can be safely installed in children’s and
allergy sufferers’ rooms. Health safety is
guaranteed by the PZH (National Institute of
Hygiene) certificate.
You need to leave a gap of about 1-1.5 cm between the wall and the floor. Having installed
the floorboards, we install the skirting board
(pic. 10). To easily match the tint of our skirting
board to the floor, choose it from the range offered by Barlinek.
Is installing the floorboard the same in
the case of under-floor heating?
Not really. In the case of installation on under-floor heating, I would recommend gluing
the floorboards to the ground. Barlinek floorboards have a bottom layer with the proper thickness, so it does not cause any prob-
Thanks for the talk. You’ve made it easier for me to choose a floorboard.
Installing the floor
with the Barclick system
Ok, but what does the installation itself
look like?
We start the installation by placing the underlay, for example the corrugated paper available
in the product offer or cork mat (pic. 2). We lay
the first floorboard with the tongue pointing to
the wall (pic. 3), and then we join the individual
boards along the shorter edges, which are the
fronts (pic. 4). We cut the last floorboard. We
start laying another row with the leftover (pic. 5,
6, 7, 8), providing it is not shorter than 50 cm.
Remember to make sure the joint of the shorter edges should be a minimum distance of 50
cm from each other in the adjoining rows of
the floorboards. We need to start laying the last
row by measuring the space between the wall
and the floor already installed (pic. 9). If it turns
out the whole width of the floorboard cannot
fit in, we need to cut off the correct amount.
lems. For heated floors I would recommend
low shrinkage and relaxation factor wood,
with a long period of reaching the absorption
equilibrium. These are the properties of such
exotic woods as merbau, iroko, doussie and
jatobe; and when it comes to Polish woods
– oak and acacia. Before starting the installation, remember to preheat the floor. When it
comes to this, I recommend the services of
a qualified installer.

maintenance
of Barlinek floorboards
Keep the floor clean and tidy by sweeping it, vacuum-cleaning and wiping with a damp, but not
wet, cloth, from time to time. We recommend PROTEKTOR agents for everyday cleaning.
To protect your wooden floor from damage caused by sand and water, and in winter – salt as well,
it is worth using protective floor mats at the entrance to the house. Pedestals, legs and furniture
elements that press onto the floor should be fitted with felt pads; nailing is not acceptable.
removing stains
from oiled surfaces
Stubborn stains can be removed by an intensive Protektor Natura cleaning agent. Pour it over the stain and leave for some time, then wipe with
a soft cloth. Repeat if necessary. In the case of acidic stains and the like,
first gently wipe the floor with fine-grained emery paper. Cover the polished area with repairing oil again.

PROTEKTOR NATURA
- for the maintenance of oiled floorboards
Maintenance oil – an agent for every wooden floor covered with white or natural
colour UV oil. Used as a refreshing and maintenance agent, when the floor gets grey
and matt, depending on the intensity of dirt on the surface – usually once or twice a
year. It makes everyday maintenance easier and increases the dirt resistance of the
floor. It is recommended as the first maintenance agent for wooden floors oiled in the
manufacturing process.
Floor soap – used for everyday maintenance of oiled floorboards. This is a special high concentration soap used for cleaning oiled wooden surfaces. It is great for
floors as well as for furniture, kitchen table tops or other wooden objects protected
with oil.

maintenance of floorboard
Intensive cleaning agent – used for cleaning oiled floors. Removes different
kinds of dirt: grease, nicotine and old layers of floor soap. Use before applying maintenance oil (when the oiled floor becomes matt and requires refreshing) or floor soap. It
does not cause any damage to varnished and impregnated surfaces.
Maintenance floor polish – an efficient preserving and protecting agent for
oiled wooden floors. It works as a refresher, at the same time effectively protecting
the surface. After applying, it requires the floor not to be used for 4 hours and additionally it needs 48 hours for hardening the layer – it is not allowed to wet clean it!
To obtain a matt surface, the final polishing needs to be done with a cotton cloth put
on a polishing pad.
REPAIRING OILS
Repair oil is designed for oiled floors as a maintenance and refreshing agent and to
perform point repairs (scratches, burns). It is recommended to use repairing oil in the
colour that the floor was oiled in before - as the agent contains accurate pigments.
PROTEKTOR
ADHESIVE AGENTS FOR FASTENING BARLINEK FLOORBOARDS
TO THE GROUND
REVIN AL adhesive and PRIMER AL should be used in temperatures between
10°C and 30°C, with air humidity of up to 75%. When laying floorboards on a
ground with underfloor heating, before installation, preheating needs to be performed, according to the base preheating guidelines. When gluing is being performed, the temperature of the ground should not exceed 23°C. Preheating of
the heating installation at the beginning of the cold season needs to be done by
gradually increasing the temperature of the working system – this is especially
important in the first cold season after the installation of the floor. If the surface is
dirtied with adhesive, the easiest way to remove it is by wiping it (before it gets dry)
with a cloth dampened with a REMOVER for REVIN AL adhesive. When the adhesive dries, it is possible to remove it mechanically, for example with steel wool.
REVIN AL – a unary solvent adhesive based on synthetic resin used for gluing
three layer floorboard to cement, anhydrite and wooden surfaces. It can be also
used on floors with underfloor heating.
– for maintenance and renewing of varnished floors
No agent from the Protektor series contain paraffin. This enables easy renewing of
parquet – we don’t need to scrape it. For periodic maintenance it is sufficient to wash
the floor with Protektor Komplet agent and matt it with fine-grain abrasive paper.
PROTEKTOR – cleaning agent to mix with water for everyday cleaning of the floor.
Contains resins, which, unlike other agents, create an additional protective layer on
the parquet surface. It is very efficient and effective.
PRIMER AL – a unary solvent-based primer used to prepare cement and anhydrite prime before gluing the parquet using REVIN AL adhesive.
REVIN AL ADHESIVE REMOVER – CLEANER – a solvent-based agent used for
removing post-gluing dirt from the surface of multilayer parquet varnished while
manufacturing. Effectively removes the remains of unbonded adhesive.
PROTEKTOR BLASK – an agent for periodic maintenance of Barlinek parquets.
Contains acrylic resins which help restore the former shine to the floor. Particularly
recommended for high traffic areas. Used once a week, it increases the durability of
varnish. Additionally, applied on a new floor, it seals the board joints. NOTE: Before
applying Protektor Blask, wash the floor with Protektor Komplet agent in order to
remove remnants of previous coatings and dirt.
PROTEKTOR KOMPLET – professional cleaning agent; used to remove grease and
for thorough cleaning of Barlinek parquets. It is an alkaline detergent, effectively removing dirt, stubborn stains and old coatings of floor polish. Ideal before polishing
and applying a fresh coat of varnish, and before refreshing the floor with Protektor
Blask.
