In this section we answer all the FAQS (frequently asked questions) that may arise from our VISENDUM ® Engineered Wood clients.
Because of our commitment to quality, service and the fight against climate change, while other manufacturers use tropical wood and imported synthetic composites responsible for burning thousands of liters of heavy fuel oil in maritime transport. VISENDUM ® does not contain PVC or silicates. Our resin content is less than 30% and is HDPE, a material that resists outside very well. We manufacture solid and 100% recyclable planks in Europe that we can serve you directly, without intermediaries and with the advice of our excellent technicians, offering up to 25 years of guarantee on all our products.
Yes, since it is obtained from recycled products and is 100% recyclable at the end of its useful life, it does not require any maintenance products and its manufacturing consumes very little energy. It does not contain any toxic products, such as heavy metals, and has a system to reuse the same material for more than 250 years.
No, because they do not require any particular protection. On the contrary, products such as bamboo, ipé, teak, iroko, cumarú bangkirai, lapacho, pine, fir, cedar, oak or robinia do require periodic maintenance. Engineered Wood profiles only need to be cleaned with water; it is not necessary to use any chemical product to treat or protect the wood.
Tropical wood blackens, but VISENDUM ® does not, since VISENDUM ® wood is encapsulated by a polymeric matrix and is colored in mass, so it does not have different layers. In addition to not turning gray, it also does not twist or crack.
Yes, VISENDUM ® wooden floors resist extreme climates such as the desert, mountains, continental or marine climate, withstanding both high temperatures and frost well, since water absorption is very low. VISENDUM ® exceeds the reference method for resistance to extreme climates of 8 consecutive one-week cycles, each comprising: 3 days of immersion in water at 20º C, then 1 day in the freezer at -15º C and finally 3 days in an oven at 70º C, to start again by immersion in water of the second cycle. And so on up to 8 cycles. It is necessary, however, to comply well with the rules of use (spacing between profiles) in case of extreme temperatures.
VISENDUM ® recyclable wood does not generate static electricity and prevents bare feet from being burned by heat. On the contrary, the large amount of plastic in many of the synthetic composites on the market causes them to generate static electricity, slip, dilate and contract excessively, and burn bare feet due to the heat, since they are practically all 100% encapsulated. plastic on its surface, and lose color over time.
If you avoid it, since VISENDUM ® Technological Platform ® is solid, so it cannot contain putrefactive waters inside.
Yes, it even surpasses oak in tests for resistance to puncture and abrasion. VISENDUM ® is ideal for floors with a high level of use.
Yes, totally, because they do not deform, they do not drill, they do not crack.
Yes, since VISENDUM ® Engineered Wood resists lignivorous fungi, with the average relative mass being less than 5%, and is protected against the Saintonge termite.
VISENDUM ® solid flooring does not produce splinters.
No, VISENDUM® Engineered Wood cannot be used for structural applications.
No, VISENDUM ® Engineered Wood does not emit volatiles because none of its components contain formalind urea.
Yes, VISENDUM ® is free of aldehydes, since it contains 0% of these.
VISENDUM ® is a wood microcomposite with a polymer matrix. Its production process is clean, requires little energy and does not pollute.
The polymer matrix encapsulates the wood, which is protected from external aggressions; water, sun, termites, fungi…
The wood used is pine, from clearing the forests. VISENDUM ® is composed of 70% recycled wood and 30% natural resins.
For private use, the VISENDUM ® Engineered Wood ® warranty is 25 years, while for public, community or commercial use, it is 10 years.
Yes, VISENDUM ® Engineered Wood is solid and without holes to avoid putrefactive water inside.
Differentiating themselves from WPC synthetic composites, both national and imported, Engineered Wood brand is property of VISENDUM ®.
Yes, VISENDUM ® Engineered Wood ® avoids deforesting the planet, unlike what is happening with tropical wood, and prevents burning thousands of liters of fuel-oil for transport as a result of importing bamboo, tropical wood and synthetic composites.
VISENDUM ® adopts a responsible attitude regarding daily actions in both the work, consumer and natural environments. Respect for human rights is the basis and essence of any healthy society, which is why VISENDUM ® manufactures in Europe, a place of democracy and respect for human rights and not in dictatorships.

Yes, VISENDUM ® guarantees safety and hygiene protocols in the logistics and marketing process, which seems essential in the current post-Covid scenario.
One of the biggest concerns is usually the quality control of the processes, due to the civil liability that it entails in accordance with the Building Planning Law. In this sense, VISENDUM ® Engineered Wood meets all the requirements included in the Technical Building Code. VISENDUM ® Engineered Wood allows construction with structural possibilities far superior to other components, which is why it certifies and passes a wide set of technical tests that are especially relevant for this.
Prestigious architects such as Bofill or Toyo Ito value and accredit VISENDUM ®, prescribing the brand and exposing the advantages and benefits of VISENDUM ® Engineered Wood products. The experience of VISENDUM ® Engineered Wood in large-scale works is sufficiently proven, since the largest work in Europe, such as the Barcelona Airport, was carried out with VISENDUM ® material.
