WaterBlock Herringbone 6mm

Products Features

Melamine resin overlay.
The overlay is a transparent film impregnated with melamine and phenol resins. This protective layer safeguards the decor paper beneath from stains, wear, impact, burns and household chemicals. Its lightfast surface remains stable for many years.

Natural wood grain
The texture of fine wood grain is reproduced on every plank through digital scans of wood veneer.

Stain-resistant
Waterblock 6mm is non-staining, ensuring that even the furniture and chair castors leave no trace. The tightly sealed surface repels dirt, making cleaning a breeze. And when spills or stains occur, be it in the kitchen or elsewhere, you can easily remove them with acetone, thinner, or alcohol.

Abrasion-resistant
Rated as AC3, Waterblock 6mm is engineered to withstand the demands of high-traffic residential areas and light-traffic commercial spaces. From the bustle of a home kitchen and entrance hall to the steady foot traffic of a hotel room or small office, Waterblock 6mm will remain resilient.

Anti-slip
The textures on each Waterblock 6mm plank enhance stability and minimise the risk of slips and falls.

Decorative paper.
Decor describes the appearance of a floor’s surface. Using digital imaging techniques, the natural beauty of wood is reproduced on the decorative paper. Whether you prefer the warmth of oak, the elegance of teak, or the richness of walnut, the decorative paper brings your vision to life.

Fade-resistant
The aluminium oxide coating on the overlay provides fade resistance, ensuring that Waterblock 6mm maintain its vibrant appearance even when exposed to light to moderate amounts of sunlight.

Coreboard
At the heart of Waterblock 6mm lies the High-Density Fibreboard (HDF) coreboard, providing stability and dent resistance. Made from highly compressed wood fibres, HDF boasts twice the density of softwood, so it is more resistant to wear and tear. Its superior stability allows the click profile to be precisely manufactured, ensuring a secure fit between each plank. By utilising wood by-products that would otherwise be burned or sent to landfills, the HDF coreboard is also environmentally responsible.

Waterblock HDF
Waterblock HDF is a coreboard made from a mixture of compressed wood fibres and hydrophobic materials. This composition allows the coreboard to withstand immersion in water for 200 hours with negligible thickness swelling, as tested by the Entwicklungs- und Prüflabor Holztechnologie GmbH (EPH).

Waterproof
Waterblock coreboard has a high degree of hardness, density, and resistance to moisture-induced swelling. The waterproof composite material ensures that the joints remain stable and secure, even in challenging environments. To further enhance the flooring’s moisture resistance, all four sides of the Waterblock 6mm planks are coated with a water-repellent agent made of paraffin and impregnating oil, applied using a vacuum nozzle-powered injection system.

Micro-bevel|
The coreboard is deformed to create structures mimicking the scraped wood, cracks, gaps and bevelled edges found in solid wood planks. The shallow micro-beveled edge offers a subtle definition from plank to plank, adding depth and character to Waterblock 6mm while ensuring that little to no dust gathers at the joints.

Backing layer
The waterproof melamine resin backing layer is engineered to provide a high degree of dimensional stability. It ensures that Waterblock 6mm remains perfectly balanced and resistant to cupping or bowing when properly installed and maintained.
