The Exclusive Treatments that Make Berti Floors Unique
Every Berti floor is treated with exclusive technologies developed over three generations of experience in parquet manufacturing. We don’t just produce wood floors: we create surfaces that combine aesthetics, durability and environmental respect through innovative and certified treatments.
Water-Based Finish for Parquet: Ecological and Resistant
Berti water-based finishes guarantee our floors greater hardness and wear resistance, making them excellent for intensive use in residential and commercial environments. UV drying hardens the surface and allows you to walk on the floor immediately after installation. The use of water-based paints allows us to reduce harmful emissions by up to 95% compared to traditional solvent-based paints, guaranteeing compliance with environmental regulations and Berti’s sustainable production philosophy.
Main Advantages
- Great hardness and wear resistance
- UV drying for immediate use
- Up to 95% fewer toxic emissions compared to traditional floors.
High Resistance Floors with High Traffic Technology
Berti floors utilize state-of-the-art UV production lines, monitoring every single step.
The paint layers are applied using rollers and verified in real time, to give a uniform appearance and natural feel to the touch.
Every Berti Product Complies with (and Exceeds) the Main International Parameters:
- Wear/traffic resistance – UNI EN 15185
- Light fastness – UNI EN 15187
- Scratch resistance hardness – UNI EN 15186
- Chemical liquid resistance – UNI EN 13442
- Dirt accumulation resistance – UNI 9300
Silver Protector Antibacterial Coating for Safe Floors
Thanks to Silver Protector technology, it uses silver ions to prevent the growth of bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms. Unlike other treatments, Berti silver particles are
This protection, although imperceptible, is perfect for contexts where hygiene is essential, such as children’s rooms, medical offices and bathrooms.
Combining modern solutions, Berti floors are safe, hygienic and sustainable while maintaining the brilliance and naturalness of wood.
Main Advantages:
- Guaranteed antibacterial action: 99.9% of bacteria is eliminated in 24 hours.
- A transparent sanitizing shield that preserves the natural appearance of wood.
- Suitable for all Berti lines.
XtremeStrong: Sustainable Treatment for High-Performance Floors
XtremeStrong is a coating developed by Berti and Renner Italia Coatings for the entire I-Wood line, which ensures superior mechanical performance.
Composed of 7 layers and reinforced with tiny corundum particles (a mineral famous for its exceptional strength), it ensures significantly greater traffic resistance compared to traditional treatments.
With this system, you can reduce the thickness of the surface wood layer, making floors more sustainable and accessible, while maintaining both durability and beauty.

The most Important Benefits:
- Coating that uses super-resistant corundum particles.
- Durability and traffic resistance up to three times higher than regulatory requirements.
- An advantageous, environmentally friendly and nature-respecting choice.
Abrasion Resistance Test: CATAS Certification for Berti Floors
The Taber Test is one of the key methods for evaluating how long a wood floor will remain in good condition. In practice, it assesses its resilience to wear caused by daily foot traffic.
Analysis by the CATAS laboratory has shown that Berti floors from the I-Wood line, thanks to XtremeStrong technology, far exceed the minimum requirements set by the EN 14354 standard, for both residential and commercial environments.
| Intended use | Regulatory Minimum (cycles) | Berti Result |
| Light traffic (residential) | 1.000 | 2.800 |
| Moderate traffic (residential) | 2.000 | 3.000 |
| Moderate traffic (commercial) | 4.000 | 5.400 |
| Heavy traffic (commercial) | 6.000 | 5.900 |
CATAS certified results attest to the compliance and superiority of Berti floors from the I-Wood line compared to required standards.
In Summary:
- Reliability: greater durability over the years.
- Sustainability: less waste of precious wood.
- Versatility: perfect for any context, from home to office.
Berti embodies the excellence of made in Italy, innovation that looks to the future and deep respect for the environment.
Every single finish is born from years of in-depth studies and rigorous testing, with the goal of providing parquet that combines aesthetics, durability and an eco-sustainable approach.
Frequently Asked Questions about Wood Floor Treatments
Qual è il miglior trattamento per zone ad alto calpestio?
For areas that experience intensive traffic, such as entrances, corridors or commercial spaces, the best choice is a high-resistance treatment. An example is the XtremeStrong finish, which offers 7 protective layers and corundum particles. This finish can resist up to three times more than traditional coating and exceeds various international tests regarding wear, scratches and mechanical stress.
Is water-based finish suitable for residential environments?
Yes, Berti water-based paints are a safe and high-performance choice, with emissions reduced by up to 95% compared to solvent-based paints. They are perfect for homes, bedrooms, living rooms and spaces where there are children or pets, while guaranteeing excellent hardness and protection.
How long does antibacterial coating last?
The Silver Protector finish incorporates silver ions directly into the paint, thus guaranteeing its effectiveness over time. Tests show a 99.9% reduction in bacterial load in just 24 hours. Duration depends on mechanical wear, but the treatment remains active as long as the paint layer is intact.
Does oil finish require more maintenance than coating?
Yes, oiled finishes give a more natural and textured appearance, but require periodic maintenance to replenish the surface oil. On the other hand, coating offers more lasting protection and simpler routine maintenance.
Is treated parquet scratch-resistant?
Berti finishes are tested according to the UNI EN 15186 standard, which concerns scratch resistance. Hi-resistance and XtremeStrong finishes offer considerable protection against surface scratches, which can be caused by chairs, sand and small impacts.
