Patent pending No. 2011236087.

Diamacoat 18 Coat System

This "state of the art" technology utilises 19 layers of coating protection over the veneer. The first layer is a super tough Melamine Coating followed by 18 coats of Diamacoat UV Coating (Refer the picture above).

Timbernate Maintenance

Timbernate Diamond Life Veneers timber flooring is economically efficient and simple to maintain to look beautiful for many years. With its Diamacoat UV coating, it offers a durable finish and is scratch and indentation resistant. The following maintenance guidelines will help your Timbernate Diamond Life Veneers timber flooring to look its finest with some preventative care and common sense.

For general cleaning, use a duster, a soft bristled broom or a vacuum cleaner with bristles down to ensure your floor is dirt, sand and grit free. The use of mats at all entrances to your home is highly recommended to prevent excessive amounts of these elements from entering.

When washing your floor, never use a wet mop or flood the floor with water or any other liquid products. Excessive moisture can damage the floor boards and will void the warranty. It is highly recommended to use a well wrung mop to mop over the floor before using a clean towel to remove any excess cleaning water. Do not use household detergents. It is recommended to only use warm water. Wipe up spills immediately as water can cause your floor to cup, swell and gap.

The use of doormats and floor protectors will help to minimise the risk of scratching to your floor. It is your responsibility to maintain the relative humidity in the 50% to 70% range, particularly where climate control equipment is installed. Failure to do so will cause swelling, cupping or shrinking related problems.

Your floor must be protected from direct sunlight at all times. The use of curtains or blinds is a must as direct sunlight will cause aging of the materials and thus a change in colour. As UV sunlight will change the colour of different species of timber to varying degrees, you should periodically rearrange furniture and rugs to allow your floor to age uniformly.

Do not wax your floor. The use of wax will make the floor slippery and dull the finish. It also makes it hard for re-screening later.  

When the timber appears dull and begins to wear out, the entire floor can be buffed with a 320# grid sanding paper and re-lacquered again with normal polyurethane coating as many times as you prefer by a professional tradesman. If there are any damaged areas, the floor boards can be individually replaced by a professional tradesman.
