Sealed and oiled parquet and wood surfaces

Brutalism resurrected - an Augsburg jewel has a new gloss:

The Augsburg Congress Hall (today: "Kongress am Park") was planned in 1975 by the Stuttgart architect Max Speidel and built in the architectural style known today as Brutalism.

Augsburger Kongresshalle

Augsburg Congress Hall: The 800 m2 extraordinary oak strip parquet was sanded by master parquet layer Wolfgang Hörmann and sealed with IRSA Holzsiegel 2010 VOC High Solid, silky-mat (IRSA Wood Sealer 2010 VOC High Solid).

Wolfgang Hörmann decided to protect the heavily used surface with the ready-to-use IRSA Holzsiegel 2010 VOC High Solid, silky-mat (IRSA Wood Sealer 2010 VOC High Solid, silky-mat).

Over the years, the walnut wood bleached unevenly, so that renovation became necessary. Klaus Kehrbaum decided to use a darker colour, so that the grading of the wood is more even.

The optimum change or colouring of the old walnut parquet was finally achieved with IRSA Platinum 2C Öl-Grundierung (IRSA Platinum 2K Oil Primer), dark brown (special colour). Architect Klaus Kehrbaum decided to have the coloured floor sealed with IRSA Platinum 2C Nature Feeling extremely-mat, in order to achieve the most possible natural effect. The work was carried out by master parquet layer Hans Seitz.

Lion and Rhombus – the new CSU canteen in Munich with 250m2 wide fabric lamella in smoked oak was sanded and oiled with IRSA 2C HP-Plus-Oil, colourless, by B&B Parkett and Fußbodentechnik (Parquet and Floor Technology)

IRSA 2C HP-Plus Oil with IRSA Hardener 2C HP-Plus (10:1, tested in accordance with anti-slip class R10/DIN 51130) is used for parquet and wood floors, for bamboo, cork and OSB boards and is available in colourless, light sand, black, dark grey, light grey, white, wenge and other colours.

Quick drying allows to perform renovations in extremely stressed areas (restaurant area, hotels, premises, offices, etc.) within a short time - without limitations of the mechanical and chemical stresseability (24 hours drying time). The surface oiled in such a way has open pores, is diffusible and resistant against household chemicals. The colour and structure of the wood is emphasized. However, an unpleasant yellowing does not occur. A long and effective maintenance of the area is given by follow-up oiling (as no film formation of the oil occurs on the floor surface).

The dream of the architect comes true: A high-class loft appearance is designed with the strongly stressable IRSA HP-Oil High Protection suitable for cement-bound mineral floors

IRSA HP-Oil High Protection is used for cement-bound mineral floors but also successfully for parquet and wood floors which are also very strongly stressed.

The intention of the architect was to design the loft flat with hand-made brushed smoked oak floors and with excellent designer wood furnitures as intended counterpoint to the rather cooling effect of cement floors.

Frank Lange, from 63303 Dreieich produces the successful product Winebed, purified with IRSA Design Farböl

Akademie der Bildenden Künste München „Münchner Schule“

The old spruce floor of the studio of Prof. Hermann Pitz was extremely white tuned with IRSA 2K HP Plus Oil and looks new again. Considering the previous institutions, the Munich Academy of Fine Arts is one of the most important academies and also one of the oldest art academies in Germany.

The old spruce floor in the studio of Prof. Hermann Pitz was whitely tuned with IRSA 2K HP Plus Oil and looks new again. IRSA 2K HP-Plus Oil High-Solid 2-component parquet oil is an oil-wax-combination with natural oils and waxes, linked and oxidatively drying by adding the hardener IRSA Härter 2K HP-Plus Oil colourless, sand, black, dark grey, light grey, white and wenge. If required, we also deliver special tones. The product is tested in accordance with DIN 51130 / anti-slip class R 10. The floor can be already used after 24 hours after oiling. The surface impregnated in this way gets a lasting protection and can be simply re-oiled, cared for and repaired.

The surface has open pores, is breathable, capable of diffusions and resistant against household chemicals.
This quick drying also allows to carry out renovations in a short time in extremely and strongly stressed areas (restaurant areas, hotel, business premises, offices, etc.) without limiting mechanical and chemical stress. The improved linking density results in a strongly water- and dirt-resistant surface. IRSA 2K HP-Plus Oil is easy to process. The consumption is about 50 ml/m2 – depending on the absorbency of the wood.

The areas of use are grinded wood and parquet floors, including boards, grinded wood blocks, as well as finally grinded several layer parquet elements which can also be used when an underfloor heating is incorporated.

If a previous treatment/coat priming is used as „priming“ as an alternative to IRSA Lauge, IRSA Basic Color or IRSA Design Farböl – this results in diverse design possibilities.

Depending on the desired appearance, the subsequent care after hardening time is carried out with IRSA Pflegeöl (for matte surfaces) or IRSA Natura Hartwachs (silky shining surfaces) or IRSA Pflegemilch (for additional gloss into mopping water). It is cleaned with IRSA Seifenreiniger, IRSA Natura Hartwachs or also with IRSA Pflegeöl (for cleaning and caring). IRSA Grundreiniger G88 is used to remove resistant dirt and for general cleaning. Please ask for our caring sets.
Our care instruction for oiled and waxed floors (for requests or downloads please see www.irsa.de/download), as well as the corresponding Technical Data Sheets and container labels give more information.

The baroque Castle Ludwigslust -
the 200 m² huge floor in the hunting saloon was not manufactured from paper mache, but protected with IRSA HP Oil after extensive renovations

Magnificently, the castle is situated in a city under the same name in the South West of Mecklenburg-Pomerania. Duke Friedrich had the new castle of residence built in the years 1772 to 1776. There has never been such a castle with an extended garden architecture in the North Elbian sourroundings. Almost 17 million have already been spent in the restoration. A cultural aspect of the Ludwigslust castle facility is the nearly extended use of paper mache as a working substance, to imitate high-quality and cost-intensive materials.

Marzahn library, Berlin

Nearly 1500 m2 of old quality stave parquet flooring made of oak in the library in Marzahn-Hellersdorf was protected with just 2 coats of IRSA Wood Seal 2010 silk matt ( the first oil- synthetic resin sealant: approved by the building authorities No. Z157.10-99)

The new Gürzenich stage in Cologne

Hence a surface protection system was sought for the Gürzenich stage, that shows absolutely no reflection from the stage lighting, that coats the existing wooden floor boards completely with deep black colour and that enables the well covered black matt surface of the stage to have local repairs done easily and quickly and at any time, as this is continually necessary due to the extreme wear and tear. Not least because no shiny surface film from maintenance products can be applied to the surface of the stage, on the contrary, it should only be cleaned.

The ultra matt, black covering, solvent based IRSA Stage and Photo-Studio Varnish offers an alternative solution. If a more environmentally friendly alternative is sought, then IRSA offers the products IRSA Basic Colour black (watery basis) with the follow-on treatment of IRSA Design Colour Oil black (for stages).

If a parquet sealer is used on a toboggan.....

Werner Friedl is a toboggan builder who builds sledges by hand in Allgaeu (between Marktoberdorf and Schongau) and paints them with IRSA Holzsiegel 2010 High Solid (IRSA Wood Sealer 2010 High Solid) (actually a parquet varnish). According to Mr. Friedl, he has tried many varnishes, but only the IRSA varnish withstands wind, weather and stress.

Rodelbauer Friedl

The beautiful toboggans made by Werner Friedl and his team (Marlene and Maximilian Friedl) weigh only 6,5 kg  and convince by their unusual design with an excellent price-performance ratio. The textile seat, as well as the wooden frame (colourful sledges are dyed with varnish and matching pastes) can be designed in a variety of ways, for example with company logos and many different colours - creating an individual toboggan artwork.
