WOOD FLOORING PROFILES & ACCESSORIES

Beautifully crafted solid wood profiles. Give your floor the finish it deserves.

MATERIALS

Machined from the highest grade timber and combined with strong yet flexible uPVC. The Woodline range of accessories provides aesthetic pleasure and unrivalled durability.

  • SOLID HARDWOOD TIMBER

    Hardwood timber is generally more complex in structure than softwood and often, as the name would suggest, ‘harder’. Hardwoods are especially useful in applications for flooring due to their hard wearing characteristics, strength and aesthetic beauty. All Parallel hardwood profiles are manufactured to exacting standards using the finest timber available.

    Using imported timber from only the most reliable and sustainable sources in North America, Europe and Africa, we can guarantee a constant and environmentally friendly product that is the envy of our competitors.

  • uPVC PLASTIC

    Polyvinyl Chloride or PVC is the third most widely produced ‘plastic’ compound in the world behind Polyethylene and Polypropylene. PVC is now generally used as a construction material over more traditional materials like copper and timber for piping and profile manufacture because its is often more stable, cost effective and easier to work with.

    The addition of plasticisers in the manufacturing process can increase the flexibility and ‘softness’ of the material to further enhance the range of applications PVC can be used for. These factors make PVC the ideal compound for the manufacture of our base profile which receives the various different top sections.

OUR TIMBER ~ ORIGINS

Only the best for the best. We work with our import partners to provide the very best hardwood timber available from North America, Europe and Africa. Our strive for perfection sees us continually monitoring sources to ensure continuity of supply and quality like nobody else.

LEGAL LOGGING ~ EUTR

All of the timber that makes it to our factory is sustainable, from correctly managed forests and European Union Timber Regulation (EUTR) compliant. Parallel Flooring Accessories Ltd has a strict and clear environmental policy that it adheres to regarding all aspects of business but especially in the sourcing of hardwood timber.

RESIDENTIAL & COMMERCIAL

Whether it be a house, property development, pub, club, restaurant, museum shopping centre or office block, Parallel have the profiles up to the task. Whatever it may be.

  • RESIDENTIAL USAGE

    Parallel profiles are flexible in all manner of ways, especially in their application. The majority of the accessories that we manufacture are suitable for residential properties. In particular the wooden products sit extremely well in homes due to their natural look and feel. Designed to fit seamlessly into the aesthetics of your room, Parallel profiles enhance the finish of any floor.

    Whether incorporated by the architect into plans or found by the individual, Parallel profiles can be supplied and fitted with the floor or retro-fitted as replacements.

  • COMMERCIAL USAGE

    Parallel flooring accessories are an ideal companion for whichever type of floor is being fitted, wherever it may be. Able to withstand varying degrees of foot traffic, there is a profile range suited to all situations. A dedicated contracts team are able to offer advice, pricing and specifications on a job by job basis. If something completely out of the ordinary is required, our bespoke machining service is available to turn items around in days rather than weeks and months. We’re equally adept at turning our hands to produce beautifully articulate mouldings for period restorations as we are milling the smooth clean lines required for ultra modern interiors. All this whilst complying with the most up to date building regulations and requirements.

HEGHT ADJUSTABLE BASE

The original and the best. All Parallel two part profile systems have an adjustable base profile which makes fitting a breeze. The principle behind a height adjustable base section is simple, it negates the need to have hundreds of individual profiles to do the same job but with slightly thicker or thinner floors. With our system, pick the base section that best suits the thickness of your floor and the top section takes care of itself. Once the base is correctly laid in the channel between your floors, the top section is tapped in from above and automatically self levels to the lowest point. In addition, because the profile is equally secure either at the top or bottom of the base section, it is not critical that the floor is 100% level from one end to the other.

COLOUR MATCHING

Send us your board and we will provide profiles to match it! Using our comprehensive colour database, there are very few finishes we are unable complement.

STAINING PROCESS

Starting with an unfinished base timber, various stains, waxes, oils and enhancers are hand applied to ensure an even and consistent colour. Once dry, the top coat is applied to give the desired finish, whether that be matt oil or gloss lacquer or anything else in between.
