Country: Portugal
Rating (2022): 5.0
A fairly new company among those involved in the production of floors, but already managed to win the love of consumers around the world. Its products are valued for high quality technology and the best raw materials that come from famous Portuguese plantations. Constant control of production stages and advanced training of the company's employees help to create some of the best cork floors. The coatings have a unique design and excellent characteristics, making the product unique: just under forty design options and more than ten types of cork textures.
Consumer reviews testify to the high quality of the floor. So, for example, one of the buyers claims that after the dismantling of the children's sports corner in the apartment, the marks on the cork flooring leveled off, which once again indicates a quality worthy of a premium class. A slight drawback in the form of a strange factory varnish that creates a feeling of a rough floor is easily compensated by the highest wear resistance. But such a defect is not always found, so you should be careful when choosing a coating.
