"And the manners they have such impossible and delicate, as if they themselves, the columns themselves, such fine education, ancient."
Ivan Shmelev "Summer Lord"
Through a century
Patterned parquet of colored wood is the so-called typical, or artistic, - has a very ancient history. Floors from various wood breeds were made by another 3 years ago. Everything began with the fact that Petri made up the ornaments for palace parquets in the leather-designed, then Peterhof. Watot moment officially born Russian artistic parquet. Along its drawings first worked foreigners (Leblon, Rastrelli, Falcone), and then the Russian masters. They left masterpieces of their art at the interiors of Pavlovsk Palace, Oranienbaum, Peterhof, Tsarist village, Ostankino. On the peculiarities of the use of various parquet wood rocks, as well as the rules for creating a parquet floor, we wrote in NN 4 and for 2001.Patterned patches are significantly different from piece. After all, it has a large number of varied wooden parts, often curvilinear. These elements cannot be connected according to the "groove - comb" principle as typical piece planks. The artistic parquet is gaining from several wood species, differing in color and tone (just as Florentine mosaic is created from different breeds of multicolored marble). In addition to local birch, alder, pines, larchs, maples, pears, apple trees, Elm, juniper IDR, for parquet, including artistic, gradually began to widely use imported "overseas" wood: purple rosewood, pink amaranth, yellow and Red sandalwood, mulberry, black ebony and tobacco wood, white and red cypress, tess, china, olive tree. The use of these unlike, diverse in drawing of living materials made it possible to create the most whimsical and complex patterns. In the XVII-XVIII centuries, a set parquet was made in the form of separate shields, which were glued with thin sheets of colored wood of the desired pattern. The shields put on the grid of BRUSEV (remotely resembling modern lags).
The long history of the art parquet, who gave world culture numerous unique masterpieces, knew the decline and lifts. In the XVII-XIX centuries, anywhere in the world there were no such diverse and highly artistic floors, as in Russia. Now this exquisite craft is experiencing another flourishing. It supported new drying technologies, especially accurate processing and cutting wood, as well as modern methods of laying floors.
"Pies" of the set and piece parquet are not fundamentally different from each other. Just the details of the art parquet are not bonded among themselves, but are attached to the base. The typesetting can be successfully combined with pieces, and it makes it very often. For example, the floor of the piece parquet can be made not only with a beautiful unusual laying scheme, but also inserted "oases", which will turn it into an artistic work.
Ornament as a mirror of a good taste
In our time, the necross and eclectic is seriously the problem: what patterns, ornaments, drawings are appropriate in the manufacture of floors? Modern parquet firms go in this regard to several paths. One of them is copying the old samples from the interiors "the era of red heels and powdered wigs", that is, the creation of eccentric on the drawing of parquets in the style of baroque or classicism. But will it turn out now, gliding on the flooring cartoons and vignettes, feel like a graph? Ikakov The art effect from the mechanical transfer of an ancient pattern from the palace or estate into modern houses with other proportions and scales? There is no doubt only the restoration or reconstruction (reconstruction) of the art parquet on the place where he was once. By the way, all firms about which will be discussed below are engaged in restoration and reconstruction.
Another way is how it seems to us, more promising and reasonable-creating a set of parquet for new original drawings. Artistic stylization in the forms and images of the elected prototype is possible here. For example, the same cast Baroque, logical classicism, whimsical Rococo IT.D.
The choice of style, of course, depends on the overall architectural and decorative design of the interior. A truly professional approach implies a well-thought-out combination of a stylized parquet pattern with the entire structure and with all the details of the internal decoration of the house. And not only with furniture, wall decoration and fabrics, but also with door handles and a family service. For such a work, you need a high professional, author of the overall design, architect and designer in one person. There are very few such specialists today, and as a result, many labor-intensive artistic parquet floors, performed at a good technical level, have, unfortunately, a bad design. Something will tell the enlightened great-grandmother?
The third way is to search in each case of a modern ornament, a new decorative solution. Drawing of a dialing parquet (just like the type of laying piece) Designers are associated with the overall architectural design of the interior. Accomplice with floors plan, appointment and image of each room. Working out the scenario of the house design, professionals strive to overcome the monotony and decorate different rooms and zones different in the drawing of a typesetted parquet. At the same time, it is important to observe the strict stylistic and artistic unity of the entire interior.
The choice of color, scale, degree of saturation, density and contrast of floor graphic patterns, their combinations with each other and with free from ornaments zones very strongly affects the perception of the interior, on the formation of an architectural space.
Stages of work
Proper work, from the plan to execute, implies the separation of functions between different specialists at the design stage. Let's say, from an architect or designer who creates the original sketch of the floors, the specific knowledge of the characteristics of certain wood species is required. On the author of the idea and should create a linear drawing, a plan of the future floor, and accurately determine all the tonal-color combinations on it. Selection of a specific breed for each color is the case of other specialists. As well as the technological combination of different types of wood or replacement without artistic damage to the expensive breed of cheaper.The following designer is a sketch with an accuracy to the part. At the same time, the most complex calculations are made and drawings are drawn up (patterns) of all elements. A computers of the project can see his interior already virtually decorated with just designed artistic parquet. So design floors without exception, serious company, "Intergraph", "golden section", "ARK-PARQUET", BERTI, BEMBE, - demonstrating its professionalism.
Who are they and from where?
In our market there are several domestic and foreign manufacturers of typical art parquet. This, in addition to the above, "WORLD PARQUET", "PARQUET CENTER," "HOUSE OF PARQUET" "DUBRAVA", "Marcel", "Amber Strands", "MLC PARQUET" etal. Creating a set (or, as it is also called, a mosaic) parquet, of course, you will not attach to the field of ordinary finishing works. We need to deal with cases of cases of a full-fledged work of decorative and applied art.
The company's handwriting is of great importance: its own techniques, secrets, applied equipment and tools, qualifications and personal skill of specialists, original design developments, principles of combining materials of IT.D. In other words, the holistic corporate concept of the company is important, what makes her face, forms the technical and artistic quality of the finished parquet.
"Integraf". This domestic firm who has achieved high quality in the creation of dialing parquet floors has its own, once and permanently developed principles of work. And does not use any other methods except their own. Here are the main postulates of the company:
one. High-quality parquet floor, and in particular artistic, can not be cheap. The company does not seek to reduce the cost of its works by changing the exhaust technology that excludes the use of the laser. If the customer wants to reduce the already designed artistic parquet, he can make a simplification of his drawing, replacing one tree species by others, combining a set of parquet with the usual piece.
2. Parquet floors from the company "Integraf" (WTO number and typical) does not require any specific departure, except for the most conventional cleaning.
3. All expensive floors from the piece and the more compatible parquet are covered with several layers (ending) protective varnish. It is designed by specialists of the company, taking into account our Russian climate, in which, according to their theory, otherwise the parquet will not save for a long time. The special technology of applying the finishing varnish layer is one of the most characteristic features of this manufacturer. Under the transparent, albeit a thick lacquer, surprisingly clearly appear drawing and color of wood fibers.
four. The specialists of the company completely reject the theory common among other manufacturers that the parquet should "breathe". The proposed rigid floor design protected by a hydraulic coating is completely stable and not exposed to "breathing". Parquet retains stability regardless of the microclimate of the interiors.
five. According to the technology of the company "Integraf", the parquet does not need to be flimsy (cycling), removing the entire varnish and part of the working layer every 5 years. If necessary, only the upper coating level is removed, and the finish layer is re-applied. Small defects - dents from shocks, scratches, damage to hot items, small scuffs, stains from chemicals IT.P. - Corrected by specialists from the company on the principle of point, zonal treatment and surface restoration.
As any solid company, "integraph" has an extensive computer database. There are several hundred projects of parquet ornaments of various complexity and stylistics. More than 120 orders are already implemented. The cost of artistic parquet flooring from this manufacturer is determined separately in each case. It depends on the complexity of the plan, project and tasks. Achieving the desired result may be difficult only to limit means and time. Ready-made artistic borders of two or three breeds (Oak Merbau, American Walnut - Wenge, Dublin - Henge) are sold at a price of $ 8 to $ 40 for 1Pog.m.
"Golden section" is one of the largest domestic firms of artistic parquet. Actively uses with laser cutting technique. Of course, it is not about combat cosmic lasers. Parquet wood is cut using professional high-precision laser installations that generate a ray with a wavelength of 10.6 μm. Winged focusing of this heavy duty ray The surface layer of wood is almost instantly warmed up to huge temperatures. The thermal destruction of the layer without fire occurs. Destruction products (destruction) are removed from the cut zone with air supplied under high pressure.
According to the company's specialists, the processing of the material is carried out on such modes, when the speed of movement of the destruction front is equal to the speed of propagation of the heat wave. At the same time, the notorious coastal zone, which often mentions the opponents of laser cutting, is not formed. It is possible to achieve such convincing results with the help of the so-called single-mode lasers, correctly adjusted, with the mandatory blowing of the cut zone with air on supersonic speeds.
If less efficient multimode technological lasers are applied and not optimal nozzles, then a dark layer of a cut with modified properties does appear, which leads to a decrease in the wear resistance of the material. The thickness of this layer is 10-15 μm (less than 0.05mm).
Depending on the wood breed and the laser applied, the width of the cut ranges from0.2 to 0.5 mm. This allows you to produce in large numbers the most difficult on silhouette, ideally coinciding openwork details, even very small, while maintaining their integrity.
One of the principles of the firm "Golden Section" is an optimal combination of laser and mechanical cutting. All straight elements of the set of parquet are cut into a mechanical method, and the curvilinear laser.
Focusing on the middle buyer, the company offers a wide range of circuit elements that allow component of the plane a variety of ornaments and geometric patterns. Let us give a list of these relatively inexpensive typical modules:
one. Simple linear borders scored from 2-3 varieties of wood of different colors ($ 6-48 / m).
2. More complexly inlaid wide borders with geometric ornaments collected from a large number of multi-colored elements ($ 26-55 / p. M).
3. Border stripes with the inclusion of curvilinear elements.
four. Polygonal type sockets series "Mosaic". Move from three wood breeds using exclusively mechanical cutting. These circuit art elements are the most affordable, they can afford to themselves, each person who has decided to have parquet in his home as such. The price of one socket is from $ 153 to $ 300.
five. Modular sockets and patterned corner elements containing lectured curves curved lines.
6. Finished typical square modules of art parquet (one module costs $ 115-250).
The floor from the listed elements can be laid either by the masters of the company or another brigade of qualified specialists. In the event later, the manufacturer sells modules glued to a special mesh of fiberglass (0.3 mm thick) or on a joinery plate (19mm thick). The stove or glass cholester performs the function of the carrier of the entire complex multi-storey composition.
Note that the usual piece parquet can look quite artistically. To do this, you need to put it on one of the complex schemes and decorate regular or single typical art inserts. By the way, the design of modular elements just allows you to "imagine" them into the plane of a piece parquet. Sometimes there is enough border on the perimeter of the floor and a small outlet in the center.
If simple modular elements can be laid by ordinary parquet masters, then complex artistic floors require significantly greater professionalism. Their execution is better to instruct the masters of the manufacturer, guaranteeing decent quality.
"Ark-parquet" is one of the leading domestic woodworking complexes. As in other listed firms, the creation of parquet floor begins here with the selection and cutting round and ends with a flooring of the parquet at the customer. So the quality is controlled at all technological stages of preparation and processing of wood.
Specialists of the company "Ark - Parket" - Restorers of the highest category. They were reborn the almost forgotten "pearl" parquet (which in Russia was called Koloti). The same as its excellent reputation, the company is obliged to find designers. The collections are presented with traditional ornaments (so-called geometric standards) plus ornaments connecting geometric shapes with vegetables, and art compositions in the style of various historical eras (that is, almost all the historical heritage of the European and especially Russian art fleet for three hundred years). In addition, the company's specialists are actively developing modern options for parquet pictures. Here, geometric ornaments go back to a new figurative level, corresponding to the spirit of our time. The complex crystal lattices are reproduced, then the elegant and elastic lines of mathematical graphs, intertwined in a complex, but immaculately logical order. It is increasing "cosmic vortices", then a multi-layered web from linear constructions and global curves are not listed.
Parquet prices with artistic pattern and mosaic sockets are calculated separately. The "Ark - Parquet" also gives the work "turnkey", with the obligatory leveling of the base, the creation of the hydraulic formation, laying plywood, parquet and the application of a four-layer varnish coating with the subsequent grinding (machine or manually).
Berti. This Italian firm offers on our market already collected, ready for laying modular sockets from the array, as well as a large number of art borders. All this is sygometric, vegetable, architectural ornaments. There are cartoons, vignettes, varieties of classic "braid", Meandra. There are also typical rectangular modules that create their geometric pattern illusion of a surround architectural ornament. Technologists combine laser cutting with mechanical.
In the proposed set of elements, rectangular and square-type modules, which are sizes from 4747 and 7070 cm (with a thickness of 14 mm) to 9898 cm (with a thickness of 22mm). It is advisable to consider thickness if it is supposed to combine these art elements with a piece parquet. However, if inserts, let's say, 16mm thickly liked it and beautifully fall into the layer of a piece parquet, the thickness of which is 15mm, then the differences in the levels of individual sections of the floor can be eliminated with grinding (after the parquet is laid). From the artistic modules you can comply with (consulting with the designer) the variation desired for its apartment. All outlets, borders, rectangular and square modules are sold slated below and on top of the grid. She carries all the complex mosaic composition, because, as already mentioned, the elements of the set of parquet are not glued together, and they are attached to glue only to the base. When installing modules, the lower grid remains under the parquet, that is, it turns out inside the "cake", and the upper is stitched after styling together with the top layer of wood in the process of preparation of the parquet to coating with varnish.
In the BERTI catalogs, the customer can find a large collection of implemented projects. They demonstrate all sorts of variants of combinations of the proposed ornamental borders, sockets and rectangular modules both with each other and with a piece parquet of various wood species (dups, maple, nut, olive, etc.). The cost of art borders from Berti- $ 45-150 for 1Pog.m. Rosettes are from $ 500 (minimum diameter 80cm). There are no company in Russia in Russia, but there are good master-stackers who will qualitatively hold the entire installation of the artistic parquet, ordered by the catalog and brought from Italy. You can charge installation and any other team of professionals. For example, from Parquet Hall.
Modular set elements are offered by other parquet firms. One of them- "Mirparket". This manufacturer also combines mechanical and laser cutting and creates parquet floors not only in original sketches, but also with the use of its own rich assortment of typical decorative elements. All of them are captured in bulk directories, for which the desired pattern is selected in the desired color scheme. True, to avoid inaccuracies, it is necessary to compare the color reproduced in the catalog with real wood samples at the exhibition stands of the company. It is even more important to take into account the differences in the shades of wood before and after applying a lacquer coating on it. The cost of the artistic parquet floor created by the drawings of the company is made up of its cutting (from $ 40 / m2), assemblies and laying (from $ 30 / m2). Ito, not counting the preparation of the base, grinding the laid parquet and its coating with varnish or oil. Prices for the fulfillment of complexes in the drawings of the Customer's sketches are consistent in each case. His mosaic (cent number and modular) parquet also produce specialists from the company Parket. The price of a modular parquet here is from $ 21 / m2. The finished artistic parquet floor is (depending on the complexity of ornaments, the number and prices of the wood of wood) from $ 72 to $ 800 / m2. Set borders - from $ 4 / m.
Now, when creating interiors from environmentally friendly materials is becoming increasingly popular, a beautiful natural wooden artistic parquet acquires new and new fans. Aesley you still have a fluid, which material to give preference when finishing floors in your modest mansion, - Think about the great-grandfathers.
