In addition, all innovations included in new product lines that are launched adhere to this philosophy of respect for the environment and sustainable production, which guarantees that resources will be available for many years to come.
Constant dedication to providing a good product.
Production process.
Each type of Parklex is subjected to a different production process, depending on its final application: interiors, exteriors, damp areas, etc.
The base is always high-density laminated wood with a paper fiber core that has been treated with thermosetting resins and compressed at high pressure and temperature.
Natural wood.
The surface is always made from 100% natural wood, treated according to its application: to resist special weather conditions or to perfectly resist the intensive use it might receive in interiors.
Finishes.
Perfect adaptation to the project design is an essential requirement. That’s why the technology used to manufacture Parklex allows us to apply different finishes, all in natural wood, to integrate them completely into the environment that is required for each project.
Range.
The variety of finishes and colors in natural and dyed panels sets Parklex apart as a result of its versatility, making it the ideal covering from any type of project.
International.
Providing service on an international level has meant establishing an extensive network of Parklex distributors on all five continents. This allows us to work more closely with our clients and offer them better service in a way that is more accessible to them. It also lets us understand their needs perfectly and first hand.
