smoked, coloured, and measured by the
most demanding standard of quality there
is – the human eye. The materials used in
finishing and caring for Oggie planks are
tested in-house.
Using the most advanced technology
allows Oggie to carry out and monitor
the entire production process (gluing,
pressing, UV Oiling and shaping). Unlike
those who import finished or semi-finished
products of dubious origin, Oggie is able
to trace 100% all stages of production,
guaranteeing quality and efficiency.

pressed together to create a solid core.
MULTI-PLY
Engineered multi-ply is a flooring solution
that is less likely to warp or react to
fluctuations in humidity and temperature.
Oggie multi-ply boards are constructed by
bonding together a solid top layer of oak
with 8+ base layers of poplar and birch. Multi-ply vs 3-ply multilayer boards
The centre of a 3-ply multilayer board is
normally made up of a single board. Oggie
multi-ply boards are precision engineered
for long-lasting stability. This makes the
tongue and groove of multi-ply boards

CUSTOMISATION
Requests for customised boards and
finishes by the client can be easily accom-

client’s specific requirements, be it width,
length, texture or finish. Oggie’s Dutch
finishing plant at their warehouse/lab in
Paarden Eiland is able to customise the
boards to meet most specifications. The
key philosophy is that there is nothing they
can’t do. If it can practically be done, Oggie
will make it happen. The Oggie LAB can
work from a small sample, an image in a
magazine or a description of a floor seen
