Essential flooring detail
  • Made for renovation

    A 5.5 mm Rigid Core with 1 mm attached underlay keeps the build-up low. Thresholds and doors usually need no alteration.

  • Wide, open lines

    Planks 230 mm wide and 1520 mm long mean fewer joints and a room that reads as one continuous surface.

  • Texture in touch

    Embossed-in-register texture follows the visible woodgrain, so what you feel matches what you see. A matt finish softens daylight and lamplight alike.
