Mafi timber flooring has a unique design structure which allows the timber to process moisture in wet-areas, unlike other timber floors, and ensures the timber does not warp or cup. With over 30 years experience using timber in bathrooms, Mafi utilises an all natural oil finish, which allows the pores of the timber to remain open and breathe. This means the flooring regulates water rather than repelling it, preventing any liquid becoming trapped and causing long term issues.

The stability of Mafi boards is largely due to the three-layer solid construction. The boards are perfectly balanced with the same timber on the top and bottom layers and a softwood in the middle. This symmetrical construction means that the timber can expand and contract as timber does without any damage to the floor itself. The upkeep of Mafi timber is also designed to continually re-oil and finish the floor. Cleaning the floor involves a bucket of warm water and Mafi oil soap. This special soap cleans and re-oils the floor with every wash.
