Description
Overview
Luxury wood aesthetics. Designed for real life.
NovoCore® Original Residential UV is designed for more than just the home. It brings the warmth and character of natural timber into a wide range of environments – combining authentic design with the durability needed for everyday use and beyond.
Using high-precision embossed-in-register technology, each plank captures the texture, grain, and variation of real wood, creating a finish that feels as natural as it looks. Beneath the surface, a fibreglass-reinforced construction provides the stability needed to perform across changing conditions, while the protective wear layer stands up to daily traffic with ease.
What makes this range particularly versatile is where it can be used. Engineered for heavy domestic use. It also extends into education and care settings – such as dormitories or facilities with lower hygiene demands – supported by its GreenGuard Gold™ certification for low emissions.
For projects that demand a more refined aesthetic, it offers a practical alternative to real timber in prestige interiors – delivering the same visual impact without the ongoing maintenance.
And all of this comes at a price point that makes premium flooring more accessible – without compromising on quality or performance.
Engineered for Africa’s climate and certified for low emissions, it’s a solution that doesn’t just look good – it supports healthier indoor environments too.
In short: a versatile, design-led flooring solution that transitions effortlessly from home to light commercial spaces.
