Abstract

During the last decade the use of wood flooring systems in Europe has increased dramatically. In Sweden for example, the proportion of wood flooring systems rose steadily from 30% in the seventies to its current proportion which is 80%. This rapid growth has fostered the development of new products, enabling the industry to maintain and increase its market share.
