CDW PREVIEW : BJELIN : STAND : PC9

Visitors to the Bjelin stand at Clerkenwell Design Week will have the opportunity to see at first hand the latest innovations in hardened wood flooring .
As with all products from Bjelin , these include the latest technical developments from industry leading innovators and sister company Välinge Innovation , which developed the world ’ s first mechanical locking system for wood and laminate flooring .
The company will be showing a new range for the UK market , joining the existing Woodura ® hardened wood flooring portfolio , as well as previewing other products for later release in 2024 . The new Contrast Collection comprises a palette of five different colourways – Desert , Vapor , Silver , Ivory and Granite . These leverage the existing hues and tones within the wood to create stunning contrasts , while blending with the existing hardened wood 3.0 range . The new range is now available in the XL size , 206mm x 2200mm , in Spačva oak . This type of oak , which is sustainably sourced from Croatia with FSC certification , is renowned for its stunning beauty and distinctive grain .
The company ’ s ground-breaking Woodura surface technology brings hardened wood floors to life , making them 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 .
Meanwhile the company will also be showcasing a brand new product offer , rigid core flooring . This type of floor is not only high-performing , it also has a great sustainability positioning , on account of the incorporated Liteback technology .
Bjelin ’ s extended collections provide the most innovative and aesthetically pleasing flooring solutions for both commercial and residential applications .
