advantages to them, which is what has made us a
leader in natural wood surface coverings.

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.

Façades
Parklex is not only adapted to indoor areas. Thanks to the
quality of its raw materials and the production process used,
the comfort and luxury of natural wood can also be brought
outdoors - with a comprehensive guarantee and the same
simplicity as in the interior.
The surface of Parklex is always 100% natural wood, designed
to resist the special outdoor requirements they are subjected
to, including the effects of atmospheric agents, such as rain,
extreme sun, wind, snow, etc.

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 requi-
rement. 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 establi-
shing 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 require-
ments. 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.
The floating flooring system is simple and low-cost. The rest
of the products may be easily installed, following clear, pro-
fessional instructions.
Acoustic absorption.
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.
Strength.
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.
Moisture resistance.
The technology used by Parklex to manufacture the exterior
coverings completely guarantees them against extreme wea-
ther 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.
Maintenance.
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.
Service.
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.
Quality.
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.
Fire behavior.
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.
