May 29, 2015. /Lesprom Network/. Sanyu Yukakoji (Tokyo), wooden floor applicator for condominium, school and commercial buildings, has developed rubberwood flooring blocks jointly with a flooring manufacturer in Thailand. It will start marketing the product since this summer, ITTO reports.

Main target is low grade flooring market for DIY stores. Parquet flooring block is 12 mm rubber wood finger jointed lumber plus 3 mm of polyethylene, making total of 15 mm thick.

Parquet flooring blocks are generally made out of oak, beech and birch but cost of such hardwood species have been soaring and they are hard to get so the market is looking for less costly product.

Rubber wood is low cost material and the quality has been tested by experimental works by Sanyu. Initial shipment is 20 feet container, which takes about 900 square meters.
