What makes Der so durable and beautiful?
Der has floors placed in the highest class of wear-resistance for each and every room in your house. Moreover our specially developed surface protection technology makes it very difficult to scuff the floors.
This makes Der floors very easy to clean and they keep their lustre for a very long time.
How can I reduce the sound level?
All hard floors have a higher sound level than e.g. a carpet but Der has solved this problem. If you choose the Der floor with SoundBloc, a built-in sound absorber, the drum sound (clicking sound in the room when walking over floor) will decrease by over 15dB. You can also choose a loose sound absorbing underlay like the Der foam to reduce the sound level.
Where can I install Der?
You can install it in your kitchen, dining room, hallway, living room, bedroom, children's room and even in commercial areas. Der has made your choice easier by developing different floors for different needs. Our floor guide helps you in your decision process. Der floors are not guaranteed when installed in bathrooms or rooms with a floor drain.

On which surfaces can Der be installed?
As Der floor is 7.8-14 mm thick, it can be fitted on top of existing floors (vinyl, linoleum, wood floors, particleboard, ceramic tiles, concrete, etc) without having to change thresholds or doors, as long as they are even and flat. Der can also be installed on floorheating. (Contact your retailer for more information)
How do I install Der?
The glue-free Click System is a very simple installation method for the do-it-yourselfer. In a minimum of time your floor is installed, there is no more mess with glue and you can move in your furniture and enjoy your new floor right away. More detailed information can be found in our installation instructions on each inlay and on our website under 'Installation'
How do I clean my Der floor?
The surface layer of Der flooring is hard and compact, so dirt and dust do not adhere to it easily. An occasional damp mopping with a mild detergent, a quick sweeping or light vacuuming with the hard floor attachments are usually all it takes to keep your Der floor clean. Do not use soaps or similar greasy products because they may leave a film, dulling the floor. Difficult spots like nail polish, markers, tar and cigarette burns can be removed with acetone or nail polish remover. Der floors must never be waxed, polished, sanded or refinished.
Does Der scratch?
While Der is very resistant to scratching, it is not "scratch-proof". To minimize the risk for scratches we recommed to use felt pads on all easily moved furniture (chairs, tables, etc.) and replace them as needed. Use walk-off mats inside any exterior doorways to catch gravel that may stick to shoes; replace plastic casters with rubber ones and lift rather than slide heavy objects across the floor. Please be sure to use only the hard floor attachments for upright and canister style vacuum cleaners, as the carpet cleaning features can scratch laminate floors.
How does Der hold up to pets?
Der is the perfect floor for households with pets. To minimize the risk for scratches, make sure that your pets' nails are trimmed regularly. Also, clean up any 'accidents' as soon as possible
How does moisture, humidity and temperature affect Der?
With a wood based context of more than 80%, Der is a living material, just like wood planks or parquet. This means that Der will be affected by the humidity in the room. In a dry climate the floors will shrink, in a more humid climate they will expand. Therefore it is important to leave space between the wall and the floor.
