A new boiler house was commissioned

July 10 2020

The volume of production is increasing every year. Production areas are also increasing. In order to ensure the necessary heat capacity for wood drying and space heating, we started building a new boiler house last year.

The heating system was designed and the equipment was supplied by the Finnish company "Biofire OY" . The construction of the building was carried out by "Mītava celtnieks". Total investments - close to one million EUR.

The initial settings for the design were to create a wood chip boiler house, which without additional filters is able to meet the EU environmental requirements expected in 2023 and will provide heat in the coming years by tripling the production volume.

The first winter, the new boiler house worked in test mode. We are very satisfied with the results - fuel consumption has decreased, the amount of ash has decreased, the equipment has worked without interruptions in fully automatic mode all season.

A new type of surface treatment is offered

27. mar. 2020

This year we have started a new type of surface treatment. "Fortified" oak parquet is obtained by combining a new type of structuring technology with manual processing. As a result, only the hardest parts of the wood structure form the surface. Separately highlighted places of wood corrections. Unlike the usual structuring, there are no grooves or scratches in the wood. The transitions of the wood structure are flat and even. The purpose of finishing is to repeat as closely as possible the structure of an old oak plank floor. Especially well such a finish emphasizes the individuality and inimitability of rustic plateau boards.

Hard wax for finishing parquet floors

10. jan. 2019

Hardwood floors and parquet treated with hard wax are becoming more and more popular not only in Europe, but also all over the world. The wood surface treated with hard wax has high chemical resistance, and it still retains the feeling of natural wood underfoot. As one of the main advantages of hard wax, we consider the possibility of obtaining an unlimited number of tone variations according to the customer's wishes.

Parquet produced Mežciems 70 years ago

May 10. 2018

SIA Amber Wood parketa ražotne ir ar senu vēsturi. Šeit Jelgavas MRS ražoja parketu jau no 20. gadsimta 50-tajiem gadiem, kad ražotnes vajadzībām pie Jelgavas tika izveidota apdzīvota vieta Mežciems. No 2003. gada SIA Amber Wood turpina Jelgavas MRS, savulaik viena no lielākajiem kokapstrādes uzņēmumiem Zemgalē, ražošanas tradīcijas.

Recently, the company had to repair the floor in one of the offices. Since parquet of this size has not been produced for 20 years, there was a problem where to find the material. However, some boards were found. Although they may be almost 70 years old, they still had a use. Parquet produced Mežciems 70 years ago

We test the resistance of surfaces to the effects of various liquids

June 12 2017

The resistance of floor surfaces to various liquids is important to customers. In order to be sure of the chemical resistance of the surfaces of the manufactured products, we regularly perform surface resistance tests in accordance with EN 13442. The test method is relatively simple. For 24 hours, the surface is moistened with various liquids - water, coffee, acetone, ethanol, red wine, ink and other solutions. The sequins are then rated for surface damage on a scale of 1 to 5.

The test results show that the hard wax industrially treated surface with 30g/m² (1st row from the top in "clear white" shade and 5th row in "clear") protects very well against all liquids except ammonia. It can be seen that ammonia has damaged the wood even under water-based varnish (row 7 from the top), for which we expected better results. Increasing the application of hard wax to 140g/m² (2nd row from the top) gives the best results. Here, however, the surface has completely lost its natural appearance and is no longer different from a varnished floor.

Floors lubricated with natural oil (row 3) are the most sensitive. The following is a comparison (two rows - hard wax with and without deep structuring).

Oils with a higher amount of resin can be used (row 6). Here the results are good, however the tone of the wood is significantly yellowed compared to the samples treated with hard wax. The bottom last row shows for reference what effect the liquids have had on the untreated wood.
