This layer consists of one or more wood pieces of a highest decorative level, such as American Oak, Jatoba, Iroko, Beech, Maple… The pieces of wood are displayed following the patterns of the traditional parquet. Thickness of this layer is 4 mm ± 0.2 mm in EVO, 3.2 ± 0.2 mm in PLUS, 2,3 (+0/ -0,3) mm in CLASS and 2.2 ± 0.2 mm in KID. Sections of wood making up this composition have the following measurements: A/ Two-slat multilayer parquet.Length 400 mm to 1500 mm. Width 94 mm B/ Three-slat multilayer parquet.Length 200 mm to 500 mm Width 64 mm C/ 4-slat multilayer parquet.Length 200 mm to 500 mm Width 48 mm D/ 1-slat multilayer parquet.Length 2200 mm . Width 140 mm. Note: In the heads of pieces only slats with a minimum of 60 mm will be accepted. 1.1.2. - CORE LAYER MADE OF PHENOLIC PLYWOOD BOARD This layer is composed of a phenolic plywood board 9 mm thick for Greenkett PLUS, CLASS and KID Engineered Hardwood Flooring. This plywood is composed of several sheets joined between them. To make this, we use water resistant phenolic adhesives to protect the hardwood flooring against any humidity coming from the sub floor. In this way we produce a core layer with maximum homogeneity. After that, profiling will be made in this layer. Thanks to the perfect levelling and stability of the core layer, it is possible to renew the top layer repeatedly with consecutive sanding; it’s impossible to do this with the traditional whitewood core layer, since it would raise the risk of waving.

It is made of: A) transverse sheets of coniferous wood such as pine tree. B) An extra piece of plywood is placed in every edge of the finished board to increase stability. 1.1.4. - BOTTOM LAYER OF ROTARY CUT VENEER. This is a layer made of coniferous wood used in the manufacture of Greenkett Engineered Hardwood Flooring. This plate is arranged longitudinally and must have sufficient strength to assume the stress that the parquet floor maybe subjected to. Thickness is 2 mm. 1.2. - ADHESIVES. Adhesives in the phenolic plywood are a mixture of water resistant glues (WBP) which are applied to each layer. The components of these adhesives are in accordance with the European normative for formaldehyde emissions E1. 1.3. - LACQUERS. Engineered An extremely high quality lacquer is always used on Hardwood Flooring to protect and preserve it. An essential barrier in the preservation and enhancement of the Engineered Hardwood Flooring is required. For this reason, we always use BONAKEMI lacquers, an 80-year experienced Company in the lacquering sector. Lacquer is applied using rollers in 7 consecutives coats up we take a final measure of 100 gr/m², which gives us a spectacular finish. These lacquers are acrylic and they are waterbased, with no solvents, minimizing the impact on the environment. Last lacquer cap is treated with a special product developed by BONA for improving product behaviour.

Test has been conducted in compliance with the EN 1910 European Regulation. It consists of reproducing environments of 18ºC and 50% RH in an environment test chamber. Engineered Hardwood Flooring samples were submitted to this environment for long periods of time; after that humidity and any piece deformations have been measured both horizontally (banana) and vertically (warp). Engineered Hardwood Flooring submitted to this test has never suffered deformations above 1 mm in length or width. It has been made taking different samples into different environment at 23ºC and 85% Hr and the others at 23ºC and 30% Hr, measuring the cup ( across the element) in accordance to the EN 13647 norm, and the results were less than the normative prescription <0.2% in the width. 5.2. - DIMENSIONAL TOLERANCES. Geometrical characteristics of Engineered Hardwood Flooring have been assessed in accordance to EN 13647 regulations, for length, width, thickness, noble layer, surface and side curvatures. In the case of result were correct. Engineered Harwood Flooring PLUS and KID products, 5.3. - IMPACT RESISTANCE. Impact resistance test was made by dropping a 500-g steel ball from different heights on 24 randomly chosen points, between which there must be a minimum distance of 5 cm. In each impact point the imprint diameter was measured and the breakage of the lacquer film was assessed. All this was done on a three-layer material sample arranged on 2-mm thick standard film supported by cement, concrete or similar material. No more than 2 varnish film breakages will be allowed if they exceed 50% of the imprint’s perimeter. The average imprint diameter should not exceed 12.5 mm and more than two impacts should not have a diameter exceeding 15 mm. Engineered Hardwood Flooring Results of the tests conducted on product were 9.6 mm (Tali) and 9.0 mm (Jatoba and Oak). None of them exceeded 15 mm, and therefore results are appropriate.

Test consists of submitting a sample of the product to the action of a TABER abrasion tester in compliance with the EN 13696 regulation, until the varnished surface is 50% of the original. Result for revolutions. Engineered Hardwood Flooring in this test exceeded 3,000 5.5. - RESISTANCE TO VARIOUS PRODUCTS. Test is conducted in compliance with the procedure described in the EN 13442 regulation. In this test, floorboards are submitted to the action of various products like food, cleaners, acids, etc. Contact time was between 16 and 24 hours. Assault, changes in sheen and abnormal colorations are assessed using a score scale that goes from 1 to 5 to assess the results (5 – no visible changes, 4 – slight changes in gloss and colour, 3 – slight marks, 2 strong marks but no changes in the surface, 1 strong mark with changes in the product surface). Results for Sample Oak Tali Jatoba Beech Iroko Walnut Doussie Engineered Hardwood Flooring PLUS and KID were: GLOSS Value Specification 5 3 5 3 5 3 5 3 5 3 5 3 5 3 COLOUR Value Specification 5 3 5 3 5 3 5 3 5 3 5 3 5 3 RESULT Correct Correct Correct Correct Correct Correct Correct 5.6. - THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY. Thermal conductivity was measured according to the procedure described in the UNE 92-202. Thermal conductivity is the quantity of heat that passes in the time unit through a surface unit of the sample when a certain temperature difference is established between the facing and the back.

Engineered Hardwood Flooring on a 4-mm thick polyethylene layer offers a thermal conductivity of 0.10 W/m ºK (in oak and maple) and of 0.093 W/m ºK (Tali and Jatoba). 5.7. - INSULATION TO THE IMPACT NOISE. That means the reduction of the standard impact noise level rendered by a lining placed on the underlying floor slab. Engineered Hardwood Flooring EVO, PLUS, CLASS and KID products placed on 3-mm FONPEX foam, provides an impact noise reduction of 60 dBA, which meets the specification of the basic building standard NBE CA-88 of 80 dBA, on most of the different combinations of floor slab used for building purposes. 5.8. - EMISSION OF FORMALDEHYDE. Formaldehyde is a component of wood adhesives that is considered toxic at certain emission levels. Results obtained for the formaldehyde content in Engineered Hardwood Flooring are those described in the UNE EN 717 standard, for class E1 (<0.1 ppm.). 5.9. - HARDNESS. That means, resistance offered by a material against penetration from another material. According to the Monin system, which is included in the Spanish Regulation UNE 56-534, which consists of applying a weight of 100 kg per cm of thickness to the piece by means of a steel cylinder in a cross-sectional direction of the fibres, hardness is inversely proportional to the depth of the impression left by the cylinder. For Engineered Hardwood Flooring, results were 5.6 for Oak, 9 for Jatoba and 5.8 for Maple. 5.10. - REACTION TO FIRE. According to the criteria established by the UNE-EN 13501-1:2007 regulation, all Engineered Hardwood Flooring has achieved the Cfl-s1 classification.

This kind of profile has a paraffin line that improves the product installation. Installation instructions: Engineered Hardwood Flooring PLUS and KID products may be placed on any dry, clean and levelled-out sub floor, which may normally bear expected loads without deflection. All carpeting and padding must be previously removed. Engineered Hardwood Flooring PLUS and KID products may be installed by on concrete, wood, and chipboard, PVC, synthetic surfaces, linoleum and ceramic floors. In all cases, the sub floor must be totally dry. Sub floor conditions: Types of sub floor Cement Floor composition Anhydrous floors Asphalted floors Maximum residual humidity % allowed 2.5 2.0 0.5 No humidity If sub floor is damp, it is essential that humidity content of the wood must be between 8% and 10% as a maximum value. On concrete sub floors and other anhydrous sub floors, a vapour barrier of at least 0.2 mm of plastic laminate is recommended.

Apdo. 545 – 36280 VIGO (PO) España Tel.: +34 986 337 651 – Fax: +34 986 337 553 http://www.grupo-ig.com In rooms where humidity conditions are expected to be higher in the sub floor, such, as basements, to use plastic sheets with a minimum thickness of 0.6 mm as a vapour barrier is recommended. Vapour barriers or sealing systems used must be installed under the base. Engineered Hardwood Flooring PLUS and KID are normally laid parallel to the incoming light. In long narrow rooms we recommend laying it lengthways, allowing a minimum of 1.5 cm for expansion gaps and joints along the walls and fixed objects (for example doorframes, pipes, electric installations, threaded joints, etc.). If the installer finds that there is residual humidity, expansion gap needs to be higher. Installation of surfaces above 74 m2 must have expansion joints. When Engineered Hardwood Flooring PLUS and KID products are installed in several rooms, surfaces will be separated at the doorframes and arches using appropriate transition strips. Expansion gaps and settling joints will not be filled in. Once the floor has been properly prepared, foam may be installed. If a vapour barrier foam is used (it is not necessary on wood sub floor), lengths of material should overlap at least 20 to 30 cm and be pulled approximately 5 cm up the wall. If the material exceeds the skirting board, it will be withdrawn after the completed installation. In order not to damage the foam, only the necessary material for the next 5 or 10 rows will be placed.

Steps to follow: • Installation will begin in the left-hand corner of the room, installing a panel piece with the groove facing the wall, with the exception of the CLIC profile, which will have the tongue facing the wall. In all cases, pieces will be laid leaving a 15 mm separation with the sidewall as an expansion gap, which will require the use of separation wedges. To finish the first row, the board will be laid parallel to those already installed, and the pieces will be marked, so, it can be cut later, as shown in the following figures: • Next row will be started with the remaining piece of the previous row, making sure that joints are at a sufficient distance from a decoration viewpoint. • Place the piece you are going to use in a horizontal position (T&G) and join the tongue and the groove. • Glue must always be used in the case of normal tonguing and grooving. Therefore, a sufficient amount of glue must be applied in a line before proceeding to assemble the pieces. Withdraw the glue excess with a damp clean cloth. • In all cases, in the last row, it may be necessary to cut lengthwise. In order to do so, place the last board over the penultimate row, marking the exact cut and taking into account the 15-mm gap with regard to the wall. • Wood is a natural product, which is subjected to variations in accordance with environmental conditions; therefore, it is necessary to verify that there are 15 mm of separation (expansion joint) around the fixed parquet limits, walls, pipes or beams, etc. when laying parquet in adjoining rooms, expansion gap must coincide with the doors. The expansion joint must never be obstructed. This edition cancels and substitutes the previous (January 2008) Page 19 of 43 June 2008 Maderas Iglesias, S.A. Ctra. de Madrid, s/n.

WARNING: in engineered hardwood flooring installations in new buildings or floor rehabilitations that make it necessary the painting of surfaces or walls; or any other task in which it is necessary to protect the pavement, the application of any kind of adhesive tapes will be avoided, since the dissolvers contained in the adhesive act on the lacquer of the wood and they could damage or even eliminate it. The manufacturer will not be liable for the problems derived from the utilization of this type of adhesive tapes. Installation system of the FLOORING CLIC SYSTEM. ENGINEERED HARDWOOD Engineered Hardwood • The first step before starting the installation of Flooring Clic System is to make sure that the installation area is in good conditions to receive the material. In order to do so, we have to make sure there is total absence of residual humidity; that means that we need to measure the humidity on the concrete floor. This must be below 2.5%. Environment must have relative air humidity between 45% and 65% and a temperature of approximately 18ºC. • Then, we will make certain that the concrete floor on which the installation is going to be made is perfectly levelled. A well levelled concrete floor must have a variation below 2mm per metre. • After that, we will continue by laying 2-mm thick polyethylene foam and, if necessary, a plastic sheet. Engineered Hardwood Flooring • Then, we begin the installation of Clic System. Taking the first panel piece, we begin the installation at the corner of the room; this will allow us to place the two tongues against the walls forming a corner, bearing in mind that we should leave an expansion gap of approximately 15 mm, for which we will use wedges. Having completed the installation of the first row, we will have an extra piece from the last panel, which if big enough, according to aesthetic criteria, will be the first panel for the next row. In order to install this piece we must introduce its tongue in the groove of the previous row with an approximate inclination of 30º and then position on to the floor. Next piece will also be introduced laterally with a 30º inclination, and then with a This edition cancels and substitutes the previous (January 2008) Page 20 of 43 June 2008 Maderas Iglesias, S.A.

See diagram below. 1º 1.- Insert the board. 2.- Position the board. 3.- M atch up both pieces where jointed . 2º 3º • With the CLIC profiling, where it is impossible to rotate the pieces, for example, under a doorframe, horizontal assembly will be required. In order to do so, a hammer and special wedges will be necessary. Firming of the pieces, use hammer with care until the assembly is correctly achieved. • Once the process is completed, remove the wedges and proceed to install the skirting boards and profiles, which will dissimulate the expansion gap without obstructing it. Surfaces installation above 74 m2 may require additional expansion joints.

Expansion gaps will not be filled under any circumstances. It is important to guarantee the adequate ventilation of the property or premises house to preserve the environment within the recommendations made by the manufacturer. Defects may appear in the material if these guidelines are not adhered to. Installation on sub floor heating systems: Engineered Hardwood Flooring may be installed on sub floor heating systems. In this case, maximum temperature of the floor should not exceed 22ºC. If heating system is new, should be started 3 weeks before installation and turned off 48 hours before beginning the installation. A week after having completion of the installation of the floor, heating may be turned on again in a gradual manner, gradually increasing the temperature. ADVANTAGES OF ENGINEERED HARDWOOD FLOORING PLUS AND KID AGAINST ENGINEERED HARDWOOD FLOORING WITH WHITEWOOD CORE LAYER. Engineered Hardwood Flooring with phenolic plywood in the core layer has several advantages against the traditional one, as mentioned below: Avoiding waves; it is normal when the installer is installing NKETT Engineered Hardwood Flooring not following the manufacturer instructions. Noising reduction when walking on the installation, because of the increasement of the density in PLUS and KID products against the whitewood core layer. PLUS and KID products system increases in a effective way the regeneration possibility of the Top Layer. With this product you will not find any waves even after sanding it. Due to the phenolic plywood material, the profile will allow you to slice both pieces with ease. With the whitewood core material, slicing would not be possible.
