When Jan Christian Bjørn and June Vespestad built a new house in Norway, they valued quality and sustainability. Their style is Nordic and minimalist with a dose of warmth, and to complement this, they chose the Oak, Powder White, Brushed from Bjelin’s range of Hardened Wood Flooring. With two children at home, the bustling family selected super strong hardened wood floors with a brushed lacquer surface. The choice of surface wasn’t purely based on durability and ease of maintenance, however, but also on the tactile qualities. “We chose the brushed surface because of the feeling it provides when you walk on it,” says Jan Christian. Elaborating, June adds that it has a softer, feel to it.
Wide planks contribute to the spacious and sleek feeling.
“We hadn’t seen such wide planks before. We love the feeling of exclusivity with the XXL planks; they open up the rooms in a way we can’t quite describe”.
“We value quality, but quality often comes with high prices. It was natural for us to choose Bjelin because of the affordable prices and good quality.”
They also highlight that the sustainable aspects are increasingly important, together with the production style and use of materials.
The overall result, the couple says, is that Oak, Powder White meets all their requirements and desires.
“It was also a bonus when we found out the floor was more durable and easier to maintain than other wood floors.”
