Modular One

Modular ONE consists of over 90% renewable raw materials. Our wood-based materials are PEFC-certified and the cork used in our acoustic backing grows back on the cork tree every 8 years. The polypropylene material used in the top layer of Modular ONE and Modular ONE Hydron is recyclable.

The use of Modular ONE and Modular ONE Hydron contributes to a healthy indoor climate and healthy living.

Both floors are PVC and plasticiser-free, release extremely low emissions, formaldehyde emissions of no more than 0.05 ppm, and are certified to E1 in accordance with ISO 16000, where the maximum required emission is 0.1 ppm.

This classification makes these floorings one of the most environmentally friendly of their kind.

Both floors can be used for this application as they are very stable.

Due to their suitability for wet rooms, Modular ONE and Modular ONE Hydron are also suitable for rooms where water can get onto the floor. Modular ONE offers protection for up to 100 hours in this case. If you prefer a waterproof floor, we recommend Modular ONE Hydron. This is 100% waterproof due to its product structure, making this flooring perfect for kitchens and bathrooms.

The lightfastness of our resilient flooring has been tested according to test standard EN ISO 105-B02 and achieves at least level 6 (or higher) on the blue wool scale. We still cannot exclude slight colour changes in case of continuously high solar radiation. The strong solar radiation can cause small joints to appear at the plank transitions, but this is neither a problem nor a defect. By creating suitable shading you can keep the temperatures in the room and on the surface of the flooring within a range that is no problem at all for our floors
If you decide not to follow our recommendations and provisions, any guarantee or warranty claims on the part of Parador are excluded.

Yes, both Modular ONE and Modular ONE Hydron floors are suitable for floating installation on hot water underfloor heating.

As a matter of principle, all new mineral substrates must always be heated before installing resilient floor coverings so that damaging moisture can no longer escape ("heat ready for installation"). The need to heat the substrate applies in all seasons, in winter and summer. The new screed must dry out for at least 21 days before heating is started.

We recommend that heating be carried out according to our "heating protocol" template or that it be carried out by a specialist company. Please observe additional information given by your screed layer and heating engineer.

Different rules apply for installation on electric underfloor heating systems, as these systems operate with higher surface temperatures.

Please note the following:

• only install your floor covering on systems that have a temperature sensor and controller
• DO NOT install your floor covering on older electric underfloor heating systems (installed before 2000)
• DO NOT install your floor covering on night storage heaters
• the maximum surface temperature of 29 °C must not be exceeded
• a very fast heating process must be avoided

Modular ONE already has integrated footfall sound insulation thanks to the cork layer on the back, as has Modular ONE Hydron thanks to the acoustic backing.

When installing Modular ONE and Modular ONE Hydron, we nevertheless recommend the use of an underlay, as this compensates for slight bumps in the substrate and has a positive effect on the flooring's acoustics.

Please note that, even in cases in which the use of a PE film is not necessary for structural reasons or also appears unreasonable, the Parador PE film must be used in order to create a "smooth" laying surface. This ensures the overall expansion property (unlimited "movement" of the flooring).
