A-Terra
An Oak Flooring Shaped by Time
The a-terra collection is designed in the most captivating landscapes on earth, such as snow-covered forests, wide, windy grasslands, mountain meadows, and raw coastal terrain formed by nature over centuries.
Now, the word Terra is Latin for ‘Earth’; each plank in this collection reflects the quiet beauty of wood that has surfaced, naturally aged by sunlight, the changing seasons, and time itself.
The collection is crafted using premium European oak wood with modern engineering to create a stable footing that’s beautiful too! We have designed this collection in rich textures, authentic grain patterns, and imperfections not to imitate nature but to bring it home.
Living on Pure Nature
When you plan on installing wooden floors in your home, it should not come with the requirement of weeks of sanding, polishing, or a waiting period before you can start living in your home. That’s when a-terra becomes your no-brainer, no second-guessed choice; every a-terra oak flooring engineered wood plank is factory pre-finished and ready to lay, which eliminates the need for on-site sanding, staining, polishing or coating, reducing the installation time, labor, dust and disruption. The moment they are installed, your space is ready and liveable
Each a-terra plank features a 3-layer engineered construction: a premium European oak wood top layer, a birch plywood core, and a stable, steady hardwood backing. Now, why this cross-layer structure is a core USP is that it significantly improves dimensional stability by reducing expansion or contraction that occurs due to varying seasons, causing temperature and humidity fluctuations (in comparison to traditional solid timber flooring).
Here’s a quick performance benefit that you get from the construction structure of a-terra Series:
| Construction Feature | Performance Benefit |
|---|---|
| European Oak Top Layer | Offers you a genuine hardwood surface with authentic textures and grain patterns. |
| Plywood Multiplex Core | This high-density core delivers superior dimensional stability. |
| 3-Layered Engineered Structure | Reduces the expansion or contraction tremendously during seasonal fluctuations. |
| Factory Pre-Finished Surface | Ready to live in; no sanding, staining, or polishing required after installation. |
| Ready to Lay | Your space is ready to be occupied immediately after installation. |
