Portofino, Ligurian Italy · 44.30° N · 9.21° E · Reflected harbour light
Handles everyday spills — kitchens and dry interiors, detailed correctly
Water-resistant for everyday use. Not a waterproofing system. Not a flood-proof claim.
Warm underfoot — ready for underfloor heating
Works over underfloor heating. The planks lock to each other with a glueless click and float over the base — a fast, clean install with no adhesive, in many cases straight over an existing floor, and a single plank can be lifted and replaced later.
Made for daily life — chairs, shoes, pets
A hard-wearing commercial-grade surface.
Real long planks — a calmer, continuous floor
Full 1.83 m boards with a fine four-sided micro-bevel — our declared joint.
Ultra-matte — reads as real floor, never plastic
A soft matte surface with no shine.

Good to know Think twice for a cool, minimal scheme — this ground is warm and rich.

BEFORE YOU ASK · WHAT A QUOTE HERE MEANS

A quote is a plan, not a number in the air.

What it includes

The boards for your area, edge and threshold profiles, delivery, installation if you want it arranged — and the warranty terms in writing. One itemised document, no surprises later.

How it arrives

Send the rooms and their approximate area — by form or WhatsApp. A person, not an autoresponder, replies personally (Sunday–Thursday) with the itemised quote.

Why no public price list

A floor is priced from its specification: the model, the area, the condition of the existing base and the finishing details. A number published before those are known would be a guess — we don’t guess. Asking costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

PORTOFINO 1997-08 · 44.30° N · 9.21° E

Warmth can be loud, or it can be the quiet heat of a room.

A warm, rich amber oak — present and golden, but calm in the grain. The single warm note in a room of stone and slate, holding it together without raising its voice.

Plenty of floors are warm. Few carry it this quietly.

If this is the floor that stayed with you — here is how it continues:

You set the date. Installation is clean, glue-free — one day in most homes.

A person replies — never an autoresponder
