When you are an on-the-go kiwi family, the finishes you select simply have to hack the pace. We loved working with this awesome kiwi crew who went for function without compromising on beauty when they chose DuracoreSilent Acoustic Flooring.

Mum of four busy boys, 5 cats, a dog and two Chinchilla's keeps this legend kiwi Mum on toes but one thing she doesn't worry about is being precious with the floors. Pool water, animal and kid muck and red wine spills are easy fixes and the patented acoustic core reduces 30% of that sometimes 'full on' ambient noise!

Thanks Team, it was a pleasure working with you.

Birkenstock Newmarket and Takapuna called for Coretec Naturals Forrest. Being a floating rigid flooring system, particular attention was needed to ensure the floor floating system was respected when accommodating bespoke store cabinetry.

Recently installed Duracore Lifestyle (Akaroa) at a 250m2 Auckland based Pilates and Yoga studio. Our solution provides an outrageously resilient and durable outcome whilst being cost effective and aesthetically pleasing.

'A floor under siege'!

'Due to the nature of our business and as you can imagine, the floor is under siege on a daily basis and has, thus far, remained intact!'

Hand selcted premium graded 132mm wide Australian Blackbutt was used by Marks Interiors to craft two 5 meter long counters at an Auckland City lobby. While Blackbutt often enjoys black marks across some of the boards, this project called for clean boards only.

Acoustically better, DuracoreSilent absorbs airborne noise by up to 30% and reduces sound transfer between levels by 21dB.

This 140 year old Sandringham villa was fully renovated top to toe 5 years ago - except for the floors. While the character of our old kauri is beautiful, no amount of fixing and reinforcing could quiet this squeaky floor.

By using Ecodure Extra Wide and Extra Long engineered Oak 240mm, the look and feel of this high stud hallway has been completely transformed.

Care and attention to detail by the installers made the whole exercise 100% worth the effort for our clients. 'We are so pleased with the new Ecodure Oak floor. It feels so earthy and natural under foot and best of all - no noise!"

8 luxury tilt slab townhouses plus commercial retail, 3 levels and Modern live-work opportunities in a city fringe location.

Owners of this Long Bay new build opted for the warmer tones of Duracore - Cathedral Cove. Looking really quite beautiful against the dark kitchen, it's even better in the flesh. Resilient, quiet, warm and able to hack a true kiwi family was the brief.

BJELIN at the Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair

Wood is the world’s most versatile and moldable material. The possibilities are endless and you can create objects of all sizes and shapes. The material is also fantastic in the sense that it is constantly present and growing in our vicinity, which has made the relationship between humans and trees very strong.

BJELIN has, in collaboration with JOYN Studio, created an exhibition to pay homage to wood and its fantastic properties. In our exhibition at Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair, we have therefore invited a number of selected Nordic designers who, just like BJELIN, utilize wood to manufacture products.

We wanted to showcase the mix of this hand crafted art which has been created with simple means together with BJELIN’s high-tech wooden floorings which are manufactured in large volumes in the world’s most modern flooring factories.

Huge contrasts, but with the same denominator - wood.

New Website, new showroom.

Our space is split into two distinct zones, Duracore® & Coretec Rigid flooring on entry and timber flooring including Oak, Australian Natives and our soon to arrive award winning sustainable oak technology.

Spend a little time....

With a white birch ply ceiling the focal point of broad pitched contemporary extension, an earthy timber floor that easily appreciated the ply tones was top priority.

After looking at bespoke grains and stains, our clients settled on EcodureOak Western (240mm wide) boards matched with Ecodure St Tropez Solution Dyed nylon carpet.

Beautiful craftsmanship to finish the wood burner just right.

Bjelin provided 250 sqm of hardened oak flooring through Wood & Beyond to Modernity in London. The showroom, based in fashionable Belgravia, opened in January 2023 and specialises in renowned Nordic designers of the 20th century.

The renovation project on Pimlico Road has now resulted in a permanent London showroom located in Newson’s Yard – a newly developed design destination in Belgravia.

Interior designer at Kantikant, Camilla Fritz Grundelius discussed with BJELIN;

“Our brief was to create a premium experience and for the floor to be in harmony with the interiors. We chose the Select grading to avoid having too many knots in the wood, and together with the light Misty White colour, we created a clean and stylish canvas. The extra-large XXL planks added to the exclusive feeling we wanted to achieve."

“Choosing a hardened floor was partly for sustainable reasons but also because of the durability. We needed a floor that could handle heavy traffic. And we are super happy with the result. We receive plenty of praise from customers,” added Martin Jörgensen.

Bjelin recently provided 450 sqm of hardened wood flooring through the team at Wood & Beyond to Market Halls, Canary Wharf, in London.

The Market Halls feature two bars and seven creative kitchens. When refurbishing, they were looking for maximum durability due to the high footfall, a sustainable option, and an aesthetically pleasing floor to match their vibe.

These floors incorporate the leakproof 5G Dry technology, which means the flooring is impervious to the types of spills and splashes inevitable in a venue such as this.

Acoustic challenges in the office?

Concrete, steel and glass made for a beautiful but acoustically challenging 250m2 office-space so Wonder Group selected DuracoreSilent Acoustic Flooring not only to reduce impact sound transfer (IIC68) but to also absorb up to 30% of ambient noise - perfect for meeting spaces large and small.

Auckland celebrates one of the greatest concentrations of wooden villas in the world, explaining the regular hum of renovation on the western city fringe. While giving the existing native kauri floors a birthday to retain the honesty of the era is romantic in theory, nothing re-boots a squeaky villa floor like a robust 15mm thick engineered oak glue down installation.

In this beautiful St Mary's Bay Villa with views to the Harbour Bridge, EcodureOak's Vintage Betty celebrates and revitalises 140 years of villa life.
