The Product.
Our Timber Collection is the result of years of research and development to create a beautifully finished, structurally stable and long lasting timber floating floor. The 3 layer engineered floor uses Hevea as its structural core and is bonded using class leading Azko-Nobel CASCO adhesives. The surface is then finished using Klumpp Miraphen UV Top-Coat “anti scratch”® in a patented 7-coat system that ensures great looks and outstanding performance.
All adhesives used meet the highest European Standards for formaldehyde emissions and are classed E1 accordingly.
The coating system used on all of our timber products enable future re-coating of the products should the need arise and are very environmentally friendly because they contain:

A Hevea Core – The Difference.
Hevea Brasiliensis (Rubberwood) is a plantation species that yields natural latex in its harvestable lifespan. When the trees have reached an age where latex yield is no longer adequate, the trees are harvested for lumber. This complete life cycle occurs every 25 to 30 years.
Today, Hevea is widely accepted as an excellent substitute for many hardwood species due to its physical and mechanical properties. It is commonly used in flooring, furniture and other timber products.
It is a known fact that a Hevea core in 3 layered engineered flooring is stronger than other commonly used species in the market. Being a hardwood species with similar density and characteristics to Oak, Hevea greatly enhances dimensional stability and withstands external pressures (such as temperature and humidity) better than other softwood cored products.
We take great pride in the fact that the majority of our timber flooring’s composition encompasses the use of renewable timber resources. In fact 75% of each board is made up from plantation species which meets international standards for declaring a product environmentally friendly.
Therefore we proudly introduce to you an environmentally conscious and beautiful floor.

The Species.
The following is a guide to the range of product we offer in our Timber Collection. Please be aware that timber is a natural product. No two timber veneers will ever be the same, even if they are from the same tree. It is this unique character and variation that separates a timber floor from other flooring products. Some species will have more colour and grain variations than others, while some will be heavily featured with gum veins, knots, insect and borer trails and other species specific traits. We strongly advise that you use these images as a guide only, and that you speak with one of our professional flooring retailers and view a variety of species samples prior to making your ultimate choice.
