Cross-laminated veneers, dual-stage log drying, and advanced backing technology — here is every layer, taken apart and explained.
The surface is coated with imported eco-friendly paint. The tough finish is scratch-resistant, wear-resistant and colour-fast, easy for daily maintenance, and meets the China E1 emission standard for residential interior use.
The top layer uses imported precious hardwood veneers such as oak and teak, retaining natural, delicate wood grain and warm wood texture — the real thing, sliced from the log, not printed.
Cross-laminated multi-layer wood veneers are processed by dual-stage log drying, balancing the moisture content of each plank and greatly reducing the risk of arching, cracking and deformation caused by moisture change.

The cross-laminated, dual-dried core resists the arching, cracking and warping that solid wood is prone to in Singapore's humidity.
The dense, multi-layer core absorbs vibration from foot traffic, reducing the indoor noise that travels through a floor and between levels.
The coating meets the China E1 emission standard for interior use, keeping indoor air quality front of mind.
