Easy maintenance and durability.

In the past, hardwood flooring wasn’t considered a smart option in a kitchen because of the possibility of water damage. But today, engineered hardwood floors, like RIVA Spain’s, are not only visually appealing but also highly practical. Technology applied in manufacturing makes them resistant to the wear and tear of daily kitchen activities, improving its durability.

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.
