Radyal Mozaik Parke Üretiminde Kontrplak Uygulaması: Boyutsal Kararlılık ve Mukavemet Özellikleri

Abstract

Ahşap esaslı kompozit malzemeler, dayanıklılıkları ve doğal görünümleri sayesinde özellikle iç mekân zemin kaplamalarında yaygın olarak tercih edilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, film kaplı ve kaplamasız kontrplak levhaların radyal yönde bir araya getirilmesi ile Radyal Mozaik Parke (RMP) üretmek ve bu RMP örneklerinin TSE standartlarına göre fiziksel ve mekanik özelliklerini karşılaştırmaktır. Bu sayede ahşap parkelerde budak gibi kusurların önlenmesi, suya maruz kalma durumunda kalınlığına şişme miktarının azaltılması ve daha geniş alanları tek parça halinde kaplayabilen parkelerin üretilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Radyal yönde üretilen parke örneklerine mekanik ve fiziksel analizler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Su absorpsiyon oranları RMP ve kontrol örnekleri arasında anlamlı bir farklılık göstermemiştir, fakat kalınlığına şişme oranının RMP örneklerinde %70–80 oranında daha düşük olduğu tespit edilmiştir. RMP’lerin nem karşısında boyutsal olarak daha kararlı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Eğilme dayanımı açısından örnekler arasında anlamlı fark gözlenmemiştir; ancak RMP'nin elastikiyet modülü ve vida tutma direncinin klasik kontrplak örneklerine kıyasla daha düşük olduğu belirlenmiştir. Genel olarak, RMP'ler boyutsal kararlılıkları ve estetik avantajlarıyla özellikle nemli ortamlarda uygulanabilecek alternatif bir parke çözümü olarak öne çıkmaktadır.

Application of Plywood in Radial Mosaic Parquet Production: Dimensional Stability and Strength Properties

Abstract

Wood-based composite materials are widely preferred, especially in interior flooring applications, due to their durability and natural appearance. The aim of the study is to produce Radial Mosaic Parquet (RMP) by combining film-faced and uncoated plywood panels in a radial orientation and to compare the physical and mechanical properties of these RMP samples according to TSE standards. In this way, it is intended to prevent defects such as knots in wooden parquet, reduce the thickness swelling when exposed to moisture, and produce parquet that can cover larger areas in a single piece. Mechanical and physical analyses were carried out on parquet samples produced in radial direction. No significant difference was observed in the water absorption rates between the RMP and control samples; however, the swelling in thickness ratio of the RMP samples was found to be 70–80% lower. It was determined that RMP exhibits better dimensional stability in response to moisture. While no significant difference was observed in terms of flexural strength between the samples, the modulus of elasticity and screw retention strength of the RMP were lower compared to conventional plywood samples. Overall, RMP stands out as an alternative flooring solution, particularly suitable for humid environments, due to its dimensional stability and aesthetic advantages.
