door’s compliance with the accessibility


requirements of Approved Document M and do not have to be removed from the door to be adjusted.

Bjelin supplies flooring for elegant Modernity London showroom in Belgravia’s Pimlico Road


B


jelin has continued to expand in the UK commercial flooring market over the past year, with its distinctive hardened wood flooring range. Now it has been featured on an elegant 250 square metre renovation project for design gallery Modernity


in Belgravia, London, which


highlights the functionality and outstanding aesthetic qualities of the Bjelin range. Modernity specialises in the collection and sale of rare and high-grade furniture, ceramics, glass, lighting and jewellery by the most renowned Nordic designers of the 20th century.


In January 2023, Modernity opened a new permanent London showroom located in Newson’s Yard – a newly developed design destination on the Pimlico Road in Belgravia. With


thanks to Wood and Beyond, the


specialist London importers and suppliers of hardwood products, Bjelin were able to supply an area of 250m2 of hardened wood flooring. They were looking for flooring that


could create a feel of luxury, whilst being durable enough to perform well in a high traffic destination.


The Bjelin hardened wood flooring on this project looks absolutely superb and is a credit to the location. The product used was XXL Oak Nature – Natural – Brushed Lacquer, which showcases the technology behind the manufacture of a Bjelin hardened

from Bjelin’s sister company


the patented surface technology Välinge,


enhances the unique character of solid wood, by combining different wood veneer qualities with a powder mix in different colours and finishes. Additionally, the 5G® Dry™ technology gives the floor enhanced water resistance by preventing water from penetrating into the joints of the floor panels. The Woodura®


technology also maximises


the floor surface available from every log. By using sliced wood instead of solid wood, ten times more flooring can be produced from the same amount of timber, whilst the 5G® Dry™ technology makes floors both easy to install and easy to live with.
