In the world of wood flooring, surface texture speaks volumes. It’s not just what the floor is made of—but how it feels and looks in a space—that defines its character.

Among the many premium finishes VIFLOOR offers, shrunk face engineered flooring stands out as one of the most distinctive. Here’s what makes it different—and why designers and high-end project buyers love it.

1. What Is Shrunk Face Flooring?

Shrunk face refers to a special surface treatment where the wood’s surface is intentionally aged, dried, and textured to create a natural undulation. This gives each plank a time-worn, sculpted appearance, reminiscent of antique floors in historic buildings.

Unlike simple brushing or distressing, the shrunk face method involves:

• Moisture-controlled drying
• Precise mechanical treatment
• Optional hand finishing

The result: A floor that looks authentic, dimensional, and full of depth.

2. Visual Appeal That Adds Real Character

No two shrunk face boards are the same. The waves, ridges, and shadows created by this texture make the floor come alive—especially in soft or natural lighting.

This style is perfect for:

• Vintage-inspired homes
• Boutique hotels
• Artistic retail spaces
• Any interior where material storytelling matters

It provides a luxury, handcrafted feel that is impossible to replicate with plain flat floors.

3. Engineered for Performance

Our shrunk face flooring isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s built for real-world use:

• Multi-layer engineered structure for stability
• Compatible with underfloor heating
• Durable coatings (UV lacquer, natural oil, or reactive stain)
• Wear layer thickness options: 3mm / 4mm / 6mm

This means you don’t have to compromise performance for beauty.

4. Fully Customizable for Designers & Developers

At VIFLOOR, we allow full customization, including:

• Color matching for your project palette
• Random or fixed lengths
• Grade selection (rustic, natural, select)
• Custom packaging with your branding

Whether you’re specifying flooring for a private residence or a commercial chain, we tailor the product to your vision.

5. A Signature Surface for High-End Markets

Shrunk face flooring is most popular among:

• Interior designers working on luxury spaces
• High-end project contractors wanting to differentiate
• Premium distributors looking for unique products with high margins

It’s more than a surface—it’s a statement.
