Why are Bjelin's Woodura Planks collections ideal for the hotel and restaurant industry?

This makes it a preferred choice for prestigious projects such as the architectural gem that is the Clarion Hotel Draken, the elegant The Pier in Sweden, as well as a lively and trendy venue like the Market Halls in the UK.

For hotels like Clarion Hotel Draken and The Pier, Woodura planks create a luxurious and welcoming atmosphere while supporting the high traffic associated with the daily influx of guests. Their durable surface ensures the floors retain their beauty over time with minimal maintenance—a crucial factor in maintaining a polished aesthetic in high-traffic areas.

The Woodura Planks collections also feature the 5G Dry® waterproof locking system and a superior pro matt lacquer surface that is easy to maintain and requires no sanding. “In the hospitality industry, sanding floors can lead to lost revenue, so the fact that Woodura planks are surface-treated – and easy to install – is a real advantage,” explains Simon Darbyshire, Managing Director of Bjelin UK.

At London's Market Halls—which boasts two bars and seven creative kitchens—thousands of visitors pass through every day, putting the floors under strain. The Woodura Planks collections stand out here thanks to their robust design and easy-to-clean surface. The flooring not only withstands constant wear and tear, but also enhances the character of the space thanks to its natural wood look and wide-plank design.

For Simon Darbyshire: “Wood flooring in the hospitality industry isn’t just an aesthetic choice; it’s about creating a lasting memory. At Market Halls, they were looking for maximum durability due to the high footfall, an eco-friendly option, and an aesthetically pleasing floor that would complement the atmosphere of the venue.”

Woodura Planks collections are crafted from thinly sliced ​​veneers, using only one-tenth of the raw material, making them more sustainable—an increasingly important asset for the environmentally conscious hospitality industry. Combining style, durability, and environmental friendliness, Woodura Planks redefines the standards for hospitality flooring.
