Engineered timber flooring is made of multiple layers bonded together. The top layer, known as the lamella, is a timber veneer that gives it the authentic timber look. The core is made of a cross-laminated hardwood, block board or plywood to improve strength and dimensional stability. Finally, the backing layer protects the boards.

Arbre® engineered timber flooring is finished with BONA® UV-cured coating system. It provides a tough, scratch-resistant surface that’s also low in VOCs. The high-performance coating also makes Arbre® a great option for clients looking for low-maintenance, long-lasting timber floors.
