Step into a world of refined design with Power Dekor engineered hardwood flooring — crafted to combine the warmth of natural wood flooring with cutting-edge engineering and sustainable quality. Designed for New Zealand homes, it’s the perfect balance of beauty, durability, and practicality for modern living.
What Is Engineered Wood Flooring?
Engineered wood flooring is made from multiple layers of real timber bonded under high temperature and pressure. The top layer is genuine European Oak, providing the rich, natural texture of hardwood flooring, while the middle and bottom layers use stable Swedish pine for strength and dimensional stability.
This multi-layer construction minimises expansion and shrinkage, making engineered timber floors ideal for New Zealand’s changing climate and compatible with underfloor heating systems.
