BJELIN BRINGS TWO IMPORTANT PRODUCT INNOVATIONS TO THE FLOORING SHOW
STAND : Q86
Bjelin is showcasing two important product innovations within its revolutionary hardened wood flooring portfolio at this year ’ s Flooring Show .
The first is the Contrast Collection , which enjoyed a highly positive debut at Clerkenwell Design Week . The Collection leverages the existing hues and tones of natural wood to create stunning contrasts , while also blending with the existing Woodura Planks 3.0 . It is made from Spačva oak and is available in the XL size . This type of oak , which is sustainably sourced from Croatia with FSC ® certification , is renowned for its stunning beauty and distinctive grain .
This vibrant new range was created through the fusion of technology and ageless craftsmanship and suits both residential and heavy-traffic commercial environments . Woodura surface technology makes Bjelin ’ s hardened wood floors three times stronger than traditional engineered wood options , giving enhanced resistance to water and dents . When it is combined with the leakproof 5G Dry ® floor locking system , the Contrast Collection ensures lasting durability and boasts a superior class 33 pro matt lacquer – Bjelin ’ s toughest to date .
