Bjelin L European Hardened Timber Flooring
Description

Bjelin L is an exceptionally durable European hardened timber floor empowered by the patented Woodura™ technology, which creates a water and dent resistant surface and makes the panels three times stronger. Together with the leakproof 5G Dry™ floor locking system and the moisture-resistant Compositek wood core, these floors can last for generations. Produced with high-quality, responsibly sourced FSC-certified wood, all raw materials are used optimally, creating a more sustainable wood floor.

Bjelin L comes in two grading options — Nature and Select. Nature brings the beauty of the outdoors inside, providing an authentic wooden look; Select is clean and harmonious, with few whole knots and colour variations.
