Scandinavian interior

The Scandinavian style of interior design is not only impressive, but above all practical and very comfortable. An apartment decorated in this way is simply enchanting, it has many advantages, including the fact that it is easy to keep it tidy. If we add that we can arrange interiors in this style very cheaply but comfortably, its success is no surprise. The main determinants of style are simplicity, functionality and transparency. Light, preferably white or slightly colored walls and furniture work best in such interiors. Other, more expressive colors appear rather rarely, in the form of a colorful accent - an exception to the rule that is intended to attract attention. The remaining interior elements recede into the background. The same rules also apply to floors - that's why they are whitened and brightened. They are one of the most important determinants of the Scandinavian style - they should be made of wood and then stained or oiled white. Such light, almost white floors have a uniform texture and color of wood, and any differences are less visible and barely noticeable.

Northern Lights Collection

The Boen brand is one of the leading flooring manufacturers from Scandinavia. It has a wide collection of beautiful wooden floors in a Scandinavian style, very rare from other manufacturers. To make it easier for customers to choose, the vast majority of them are in the collection called Aurora Borealis. This line of floors includes light oak, ash, beech and maple boards, which are additionally bleached and thus significantly brightened. Next to them there are naturally light boards, such as Canadian maple, birch and, which is rare among other manufacturers, hickory - American white walnut. This species is very often chosen for floors in North America and Scandinavia. Hickory has good durability parameters and extremely interesting colors: it is a light wood, yet warm in appearance. Significant color differences between the white and the brownish core create a unique, contrasting visual effect on the floor. A floor that is extremely popular in Scandinavia because it perfectly meets the needs of Scandinavian-style interiors is fleece ash . The ash wood is first covered with white stain and then varnished. Thanks to this finish, the floor is almost white and the grain is almost completely invisible. It is worth noting that this floor is not recommended for rooms with high traffic.

Technical informations

The vast majority of floors from the Aurora collection are layered, three-strip boards, 14 mm thick, with a Boen-X-Press connector, which facilitates and speeds up installation (or, on special request, also in a tongue-and-groove version).

Only Canadian maple, ash, oak and beech are available in both oiled and varnished versions. The remaining floors are available only as varnished floors. The warranty on the floors is 20 years.
