moderna variation certainly lives up to its name

BHK presents a new product range with vintage style and lots of options

Germans invest about one quarter of their private consumer spending on items for their residences. Variation continues as a trend here when it comes to furnishing the spaces in our homes. You can change or add anything you like: the old is combined with the new, antique furniture pieces sit next to modern ones and colourful walls harmonize with those in classic white. If you feel like it or if the time has finally come, you can add new variations or combinations. The desire for change is reflected in flooring as well. A good fit here is moderna variation laminate flooring, which certainly lives up to its name. It is available in three different vintage oak designs, from light to natural to dark. Each of the designs is an interpretation of oak in its finest form with a wonderful focus on the grain and characteristic structures of the wood. In addition, moderna variation is available in two different widths: 328 mm and 190 mm. These two widths make it possible to vary the installation as desire: wide boards next to wide is one option, along with narrow next to narrow, or wide next to narrow.

Authentic, country house style boards with a vintage oak look

Distinctive knots and small irregularities give the laminate flooring in the moderna variation collection a striking vintage look. The V-grooves on all sides emphasize the edges of the single plank, country house style boards, underscoring the impression of a real wood floor. moderna variation gives your spaces a unique feel and goes with any interior decoration style. The flooring is also especially variable in this context – no matter if it is used in a penthouse apartment with modern furnishings or in a country house with classic furniture.

Inspired with great attention to natural details

moderna variation laminate flooring is inspired by nature and is made to match oak wood exactly. The flooring not only looks like the original wood, it also feels like it, so it has an exceptional natural appearance. Due to precise processing and a perfect finish, it is not inferior to its natural model in any way. Sophisticated developments, technical details and high quality materials indicate that moderna variation is produced with great care and attention to detail. The meticulous selection of raw materials ensures that this wear and impact resistant flooring is especially durable.

UNICLIC: a quick, lasting connection

The basis of moderna variation is an 8 mm HDF core layer and with the UNICLIC click-system, it can be installed quickly, easily and securely. BHK provides a 25 year warranty on the flooring, so the pleasure is a lasting one. The robust surface allows it to be used in commercial areas with medium traffic (traffic category 32 / AC 4).

A professional, complete, solution with Laminate Flooring

trenovo is much more than a system for staircases. It is a professional and complete solution for new staircases and staircase renovations. Every detail counts, every details fits – the materials, the workmanship and the optic. trenovo is easy to assemble, clean, and looks terrific. With the trenovo laminate stair system, BHK offers nine different wood decors.

Tangible surface structures finely matched to the corresponding type of wood

With trenovo, BHK have placed great emphasis on creating a harmonious total picture. For the skirting, for example, they have selected a CPL laminate instead of the usual paper foil. This produces a sensational and absolute décor match between the skirting and the steps. trenovo convinces the staircase expert and his customers in other respects, namely:

• the landing step: here the key is the combination of high-grade materials and the patented joining system UNICLIC
• the semi-gloss finishes: optically they look slightly oiled – and therefore extremely authentic
• colour-matching privacy screens: makes for a professional, clean, and easy-fit solution.
• anti-skid layer for increased slip resistance (R10)
• Simple, safe and quick to lay

With its nine different designs the trenovo homeline staircase system offers a large selection of wood decors: Maple, Beech, Oak, Wenge, Walnut, White Oak Whitewashed, Silver Oak, Cherry and Ash Nature.

trenovo objectline – the staircase renovation with a vinyl finish – is a high-quality and an attractive alternative to laminate. All trenovo objectline elements – from the step itself to the landing – have a vinyl floor surface. The exit step also has a high-quality aluminium profile for the direct link to the floor surface near to apartment doors. trenovo objectline comes in six different decors: Natural Oak, Antique Oak, White Oak Whitewashed, Granite Dark Grey, Granite Grey and Granite Light Grey. Like the laminate option, the vinyl step elements are very easy to lay. No need for any trowelling up or sanding down, and the stairway can still be used during laying. trenovo objectline also offers the advantages of a vinyl floor: extremely hard-wearing, very quiet, thanks to an integrated insulation against impact noise, a harmonious sound, and general walking comfort. You could wish for nothing more, either for

domestic or for commercial areas. On the one hand, objectline complies with all technical requirements such as safety (Anti-Skid R 10), stability, fire behaviour, traffic intensity (Abrasion Class 43) and on the other, the system makes a wonderful visual impact – and is easy to clean. The Top-Clean PUR surface treatment makes for an easy-to-clean surface and the Sanitized treatment resists bacteria and fungi.
