Nothing adds warmth to a room like the soft gleam of a polished wooden floor. The beauty of solid wood is in its character, depth and individuality.

Just as every tree matures with age, so does the wooden flooring, subtly changing over time, taking on a rich patina; a definite character of its own.

Today, wooden flooring has truly arrived. And we have taken the concept of wooden flooring to new heights, taking the beauty of wooden flooring beyond the physical attributes associated with the traditional flooring.

With the largest range of hardwood floors, available in a myriad of colors and styles, our new technologies have created wooden flooring that can go where wood was never used before, sizes that fit in almost any area.

“Going to the woods is going home, for I suppose we came from the woods originally” ~John Muir • Easy to install by anyone in just minutes • No time wasting surface preparation • Adds value and style to your home • Long lasting and hard wearing • Simply lift up and take with you if you move • Easy to maintain.. wash with water or sweep clean

We have absorbed the very essence of hardwood, its beautiful gradations and variations of grain texture and color. Cut and pieced woods in different colors and varieties have been used to create subtle and striking patterns in floors; creating a canvas with a life of its own, an essence, truly distinctive!

As one of the world's most versatile floor coverings, hardwood flooring has withstood the test of time. There is simply no other flooring material that offers the same splendor and durability as natural wood.

Strong, yet warm, sophisticated, yet sturdy, our hardwood flooring blends in beautifully in modern as well as traditional settings harmonizing with almost all other materials to create a unique symphony.

Kempas

Engineered wood flooring is a great innovation in modern flooring. An engineered hardwood floor is comprised of several layers; the top layer is real hardwood, which means the floor you stand on is the same genuine hardwood you always dreamed of owning. Other layers in an engineered hardwood floor are made of cross construction plywood, the engineered hardwood resists the tendency of solid hardwood to expand and contract with changes in humidity and temperature.

Engineered flooring is an excellent choice for geographical areas with higher humidity or moisture levels.
