Architects: Jordi Hidalgo Tané
Location: Bera, Spain

Material: NATURFLOOR-W, NATURPANEL-W
Finish: Country Oak Country Oak
In the living room and the kitchen of the Landaburu Borda country house, the NATURFLOOR-W wooden floor in Country Oak (an AC6 natural wood floor especially designed for rooms with heavy, frequent traffic and suitable for spaces in frequent contact with water, such as kitchens and bathrooms) covers both areas with a warm continuity.
With a 14 mm thick and a bevelled edge, it is installed as glued floor, with different board widths (188 and 290 mm). The boards rest on pieces of sound-proofing blankets laid out in parallel. Between them, elastic adhesive lines were applied to secure said boards to the ground. They are joined together by a tongue-and-groove machining, to which a line of PVA D3/D4 glue is applied to hold them together and to avoid water leaks into their structure.
The kitchen furniture and drawers under the dining room sill are custom manufactured with NATURPANEL-W natural wood panels that are maintenance-free. The finish is the same as used on the floors and in some cases has been applied on both sides of the panel, such in cabinets, cupboard doors and drawer fronts. NATURPANEL-W has been also applied to the doors of household appliances, with wood on just one side of the panel.
To facilitate opening household appliances and drawers, the material has been machined on upper and lower doors, while a screw has been used to add handles to large cabinets. Since NATURPANEL-W panels are supplied at 7 different thicknesses, it is easy to level all doors in a set of cabinets that include household appliance components to keep them totally flush.
