ENGINEERED HARDWOOD

100% European Oak. Made in Spain.

TOP LAYER

Our top layer is crafted from 100% White European Oak, chosen not only for its stunning visual appeal but also for its exceptional strength and versatility.

CORE LAYERS

A top-quality marine grade baltic birch plywood is the best choice after extensive testing, for the stability of the cross-grain layers, for its high density, and for the highest quality glue in the market: 100% formaldehyde-free D4 adhesive, offering unparalleled resistance to moisture and structural integrity.

WOOD GRADING

The grade of hardwood flooring classifies the wood’s visual appearance based on its natural characteristics and is directly influenced by the part of the tree from which it is sourced. At RIVA Spain, we offer two distinct grades: Character and Select.

FIREWOOD

The upper section of the tree is used for firewood, which may not be suitable for flooring due to higher branch density and smaller trunk size.

CHARACTER

Our Character grade highlights White Oak’s natural beauty, featuring unique variations, knots, small cracks, and subtle color shifts. Its varied grain adds depth and warmth for a rustic feel. Harvested from the tree’s middle section, it showcases wood’s natural charm.

SELECT

Our Select grade showcases the refined, premium look of White Oak with minimal variation and a smooth, consistent grain on each plank. Sourced from the base of the tree, this young wood offers a sleek, elegant appearance with very few knots.

Crafting with Precision and Elegance

profiling

Profiling involves creating the tongue and groove system that allows for seamless installation of hardwood flooring. This phase requires precise cutting to ensure perfect interlocking edges. 

Our engineered hardwood floors blend the natural elegance of 100% European Oak with cutting-edge craftsmanship, offering unparalleled durability, sustainability, and design versatility with fixed lengths for luxurious living spaces.

Enhancing Natural Texture and Beauty

BRUSHING

Brushing the wood surface is a technique used to remove soft fibers and enhance the natural grain patterns of the timber. This phase adds texture and character to each plank, highlighting its unique beauty. 

 

Seamless and Smooth Perfection

At RIVA Spain, we pay meticulous attention to this step, using fillers that enhance the wood’s natural character without compromising its integrity. This process ensures that our hardwood flooring maintains a flawless appearance, ready for the final finishing touches.

FIREWOOD

The upper section of the tree is used for firewood, which may not be suitable for flooring due to higher branch density and smaller trunk size.

CHARACTER

Our character grade comes from the middle part of the tree. This part has a visual appeal and some knots but avoids the large holes of the top part. We refer to our character grade as “light character”.

SELECT

Our select grade comes from the bottom part of the tree and is the youngest wood, which results in the absence of knots and a sleek appearance.

SELECT
