Wood is unique and irreplaceable in its original form. It is
proof of the existence of individuality.
Wood – living value for generations promises durability.

Wood has been known to us as a building material for centuries and, as such, is very pleasant. It conveys
us a sense of security and well-being, whether in nature or indoors.

It can be used without any problems as a building material, floor covering, or even for furniture. From
nature, we know that the surface of this material only needs to be protected to a limited extent. In order to
allow the power of wood to work its magic on us, there is one prerequisite: we must not insulate its
insulate its surface with foreign materials.

Treatment with plant-based wood preservatives (and paints) supports the wood's
positive effects, it remains permeable and retains its own valuable
character.

In the past, wood was protected with oils and waxes, which increased its
resistance and water repellency, but also made it susceptible to stains.
At the end of the 1930s, the first synthetic varnishes came onto the market, which were highly valued by architects,
craftsmen, and end users. They were easier to
use, more resistant, and easier to maintain.

The problems associated with chemical substances were not yet known at that time; only the smell of the
acid-curing varnish was considered unpleasant. As demand was extremely high, the development of
varnishes was greatly accelerated, and formaldehyde-free DD varnishes, also known as PU varnishes
.

In the 1960s, the environmental impact of these lacquer systems, which have a very
high solvent content and harmful substances. Not only during production,
but also during processing and during the curing period over many years, toxic
substances are released. (Sick Building Syndrome)

With acrylic paint, also known as water-based paint because it is diluted with water, the
synthetic paint industry responded to the new requirements: In aggressive paints,
turpentine oil is replaced by water and supplemented with glycols and aziridines. With less than 10%
solvent content, they were awarded the "Blue Angel" label (low pollutant content).
At the beginning of the 1970s, natural varnishes and oils were developed for industrial production for the first time
. Thanks to new technologies and findings in plant chemistry, natural products have been
refined and made easier to process. New results show that such systems are comparable to DDL varnishes
equivalent to DDL varnishes, if not preferable in terms of repairability and durability
.

When treated with products from plant chemistry, the natural defenses that
built up by the tree are protected by related substances and, similar to before, protect the
tree bark.

The need to surround ourselves with natural substances and protect the environment is a
requirement that we meet with our products and processes.
Let us advise you and convince yourself of the advantages of phytochemical
products.

NATURAL SURFACE TREATMENT IN OIL AND WAX

Wood is a natural product and therefore a renewable raw material.
For this reason, we like to surround ourselves with this building material, which has a high
filtration effect, is breathable, regulates humidity, and thus
conveys warmth and comfort.

In order not to destroy these natural properties and to maintain the beauty and
easy maintenance over a long period of time, we use the FISCHER SYSTEM
also use renewable natural products to protect the wood as a
surface treatment.

The FISCHER SYSTEM saturates the wood with an oil consisting mainly of linseed oil
. This impregnation allows the oils to penetrate particularly deeply into the wood
(molecules are approx. 10 times smaller than the narrowest passage in the cell system of the wood).
This open-pored treatment has an elastic, water vapor-permeable, and
water-repellent effect that accommodates any expansion and volume shrinkage of the wood
. It protects the wood from the inside, makes it more resistant, and revitalizes the
structure.

To avoid the time-consuming process of re-oiling and to simplify cleaning,
finish, a hot wax (beeswax or carnauba wax) is applied in a very thin layer and
polished in. Without clogging the pores, the wax bonds with the wood
. The balanced combination of plant waxes and oils results in a
closed, slip-resistant surface.

The prerequisite for the FISCHER SYSTEM is a very good sanding of the wood surface.
Since this process does not create a coating, no sanding marks should be visible after fine sanding (150 grit
150) no sanding marks should be visible. Fischer process engineering uses
state-of-the-art machines for coarse and fine sanding, both for new and
parquet flooring to be renovated.

Oil- and wax-treated surfaces are easy to maintain and provide an allergy-free, pleasant, and healthy indoor climate (
