In the living room and kitchen of the Landaburu Borda country house, the Naturfloor‑W wood flooring in Country Oak creates a warm, seamless flow between the two spaces. This AC6‑rated natural wood floor is designed to handle heavy, frequent use and is ideal for areas exposed to moisture, like kitchens and bathrooms.
The 14‑mm‑thick planks feature a beveled edge and are installed as a glued floor system, using boards in two widths (188 mm and 290 mm). They’re laid over sound‑insulating underlayment strips placed in parallel, with elastic adhesive applied between them to secure the boards to the subfloor. Each plank connects through tongue‑and‑groove joinery, reinforced with a line of PVA D3/D4 glue to keep the boards tightly bonded and prevent water from seeping into the structure.
The kitchen cabinetry and the drawers beneath the dining room ledge are custom‑built using Naturpanel‑W natural wood panels, which require no maintenance. The finish matches the flooring, and in some cases it’s applied to both sides of the panel—such as on cabinets, cupboard doors, and drawer fronts. Naturpanel‑W is also used on appliance fronts, where only the exterior side of the panel is finished in wood.
To make opening appliances and drawers easier, the panels are machined along the top or bottom edges, while larger cabinets include added handles secured with screws. Since Naturpanel‑W panels come in seven different thicknesses, it’s simple to align all cabinet doors—including those covering appliances—so the entire set sits perfectly flush.
