Artiste Grande

WHAT IS ARTISTE GRANDE?

Artiste Grande is a premium collection of pre-finished engineered timber flooring which will replace the Artiste Rustic Collection. Artiste Grande offers the same four colours and rustic time-worn feel as the Artiste Rustic collection, but with a new supplier provides better availability with a reduced lead time.

Inspired by legendary artists such as Picasso, da Vinci, van Gogh, and Vermeer, the four warm contemporary colours available will transform your spaces into works of art. All colours are available in 250mm wide planks, as well as Herringbone and Chevron patterns and produced from sustainably sourced European Oak. With Artiste Grande, natural features such as cracks and knots are celebrated - not erased. Each plank is meticulously crafted resulting in a beautiful character-filled product, with undulating surfaces and deep wood-grain texture, shrunken knots and cracks and occasional saw-marks - a look reminiscent of hand-cut timber from days gone by. A durable Italian lacquer finish gives the look of a natural oil, without the need for repeated maintenance. The incredible depth and texture of Artiste Grande products will integrate flawlessly into any classic or traditional interior, and can also be used to add character to more contemporary interiors.

WHY CHOOSE ARTISTE GRANDE?

Artiste Grande is a premium collection ideal for those looking to bring a luxurious and character feel to their interior. It has been designed with style, quality and longevity in mind – perfect for high-end homes, hospitality projects, shop fitouts, offices and more. Artiste's durable lacquer finish means it is easy to care for and requires very little maintenance. All Artiste products are produced from timbers sourced from sustainably managed forests. Being of an engineered construction, Artiste products are a more sustainable option to solid timber as only approximately one third of the amount of slow-growing hardwood resource is used when compared to solid timber of the same dimensions, and there is less product wastage when installing this product when compared to installing solid timber.

HOW DOES ARTISTE GRANDE COMPARE TO OTHER FORTÉ COLLECTIONS?

The Artiste Grande collection is a premium engineered timber collection, designed to have a rustic and time-worn feel. Artiste products are a generous 19mm thick, with a 5mm wear layer (planks) or 4mm wear layer (herringbone & chevron patterns). Planks come in generous 250mm widths, exuding a feeling of grandeur and luxury. Artiste Grande products feature distinctive characteristics such as undulating surfaces and deep wood-grain texture, shrunken knots and cracks and occasional saw-marks - a look reminiscent of hand-cut timber from days gone by. A durable Italian lacquer finish provides the look of a natural oil, without the need for repeated maintenance. Products in this collection feature a multi-layer engineered construction, which provides excellent stability and is likely to outlast any solid timber product of the same dimensions.

WHERE CAN ARTISTE GRANDE BE USED?

Artiste Grande - being a thicker 19mm product - is more suited to use as flooring, but can also be used on walls and ceilings. It can be used in both residential and commercial spaces.

Supplier Reviews

1 / 7

“Loving this new wood flooring form Forte Flooring Manor Range. We used their Manor Collection - Atelier Classic Genuine French Collection and it is stunning. We are getting compliments from all the visitors. The wide textured panels add a lot of character and it has been well worth the investment. The floor is easy to maintain and we now don't have to worry about hours of vacuuming. plus the texture gives a nice feel under the door. Our sales persons and their recommended installer were both very helpful. Thank you Miguel and Les.”
