Wood flooring and surface solutions company Havwoods launched TreeAzzo at BDNY 2024. TreeAzzo is a FSC-certified, resin-bound wood particle product. It is made 100 percent by hand, meaning every panel is unique with no repeat patterns.
To create the tiles, an eco-friendly resin is combined with reclaimed wood chips from the woodworking industry, which would otherwise be discarded. The wood species include, but are not limited to, Walnut, Oak, Ash and Pine. The standard resin colorways include Raspberry, Nougat, Nougat Brushed, Fig, Liquorice, Pistachio, Blueberry and Oyster. The resin can also be customized to match any RAL floor resin color.
Two construction options are available—either with a fiber cement backing or an 18mm ply backing—allowing for versatile applications as floor or wall tiles, as well as in furniture making, cabinetry, worktops and counter splashbacks. The material can be drilled and cut like any wood or cement board product. It is fully customizable in size and available with a drop-edge finish, creating the look of solid terrazzo. Alternatively, the ply backing can be exposed for a sleek, contemporary finish.
The panels can be coated in either natural oil or polyurethane lacquer, ensuring durability tailored to their intended application. Being resin-bound, the panels are resistant to liquid spills and heat. Finishes are available in either a brushed/textured option or a smooth, sanded surface. If refurbishment is needed in the future, the panels can be sanded down and refinished on-site.
TreeAzzo will be available for specification by late 2025.
