Hohenkammer Castle Wood Floor

PALLMANN is proud to have supported the restoration of the historic woodblock flooring at Hohenkammer Castle. Our goal was to preserve the building's original character while providing a durable and easy-to-maintain surface suitable for public use.

At the start of the project, our team conducted a thorough inspection and moisture test to assess the condition of the woodblock flooring. This initial assessment informed our specifications for repairs, sanding, and finishing. Managing sanding dust extraction and employing appropriate edge-sanding techniques were essential to keep the site clean and safe during work in this heritage setting.

The restoration process involved professional sanding to remove old coatings and even out wear patterns. Careful repairs of loose or damaged blocks and filling to create a smooth, stable base. These steps, common in parquet restoration and broader wood flooring projects, ensure that the surface is ready for sealing, priming, and the final lacquer finish that will protect the floor for years to come.

For the final protection, the client chose our two-component, water-based lacquer, PALL-X 98. PALL-X 98 is a heavy-duty wood flooring lcauwuer that provides a long-lasting finish with excellent abrasion resistance and easy cleaning. Being water-based, it emits low VOCs, making it an appropriate choice for sensitive historic interiors where appearance and indoor air quality are essential. For Hohenkammer Castle, the client chose a low-shine option to preserve the floor's subtle, authentic look.

The finished floor at Hohenkammer Castle retained its natural wood tones and historic appeal while improving scratch and wear resistance. Routine maintenance is straightforward and involves regular, gentle cleaning with recommended PALLMANN products to prolong the finish's life and preserve the woodblock flooring for future generations.
