Meet Artureon, the Swiss-Made Flooring Sensation

Artureon floors are a Swiss-made waterproof laminate flooring engineered for extreme durability and timeless design. Manufactured by Swiss Krono using sustainably sourced Swiss wood, they feature a 100% waterproof core, AC5 wear layer (Service Class 33), and eco-friendly construction with 30% recycled content. Ideal for high-traffic areas, kitchens, bathrooms, and renovation projects, Artureon floors offer DIY-friendly installation via a 5G click system and can cover areas up to 20x20m without expansion joints.

Key Features at a Glance:

• Waterproof: 100% water-resistant resin-coated core
• Durability: AC5 rating / Service Class 33 (heavy commercial use)
• Eco-Friendly: 30% recycled wood, CO2-neutral production, PVC-free
• Easy Install: 5G click system, no glue, minimal subfloor prep
• Made in Switzerland: Premium quality from sustainably managed forests

Renovation projects come with enough stress. Choosing flooring shouldn’t add to it. You want something that looks like real wood, handles spills without warping, stands up to kids and pets, and doesn’t require a professional installer. That’s where Artureon floors come in.

The name itself tells the story. Derived from the Latin “durior” (meaning hardness) and the ancient Greek “aeon” (meaning eternity), Artureon artfully combines unique robustness and infinity to create timeless beauty. This isn’t marketing fluff. These wood-based design floors are engineered in Switzerland to be virtually indestructible while remaining absolutely sustainable.

What makes Artureon unique is its innovative waterproof core technology. Unlike traditional laminate, wood chips are encapsulated in a high-quality resin, creating a compact wooden core that’s 100% waterproof. Add an AC5 wear layer (an extremely high durability rating suitable for heavy commercial traffic) and Service Class 33 certification, and you’ve got a floor that laughs at spills, scratches, and the daily chaos of family life. It’s PVC-free, phthalate-free, and made with 30% recycled Swiss wood from sustainably managed forests, so you’re not sacrificing your values for convenience.

I’m Lesley, Inventory Control Manager at King of Floors, and I’ve been helping homeowners find the right flooring since 2010. Today, Artureon floors are one of my top recommendations for renovation projects thanks to their Swiss quality, eco-friendly construction, and stress-free installation.

The Unbeatable Benefits of Artureon Floors

When you’re investing in new flooring, you want peace of mind that it will stand the test of time, look fantastic, and be kind to your family and the planet. Artureon floors deliver on all fronts, bringing Swiss precision and ingenuity right to your home or business in Surrey, BC. Let’s explore what makes them such a standout choice.

100% Waterproof for Kitchens, Bathrooms, and Beyond

Let’s face it, life happens. Spills are a fact of life, especially in busy kitchens and bathrooms. Traditionally, wooden floors and even many laminates have shied away from these moisture-prone areas. But Artureon floors? They’re built different.

Thanks to an innovative Swiss technology, the highly compressed wood core of Artureon floors is encapsulated in a high-quality resin. This isn’t just “water-resistant”; it makes them 100% waterproof. This means no more worrying about accidental splashes from the sink, an overflowing bathtub, or even that rogue ice cube that escaped the fridge. The waterproof compact wooden core ensures uncompromising stability, giving these floors a long life even in demanding environments.

This breakthrough technology allows you to create a truly consistent design throughout your entire home or apartment. Imagine having the beautiful, authentic look of wood flowing seamlessly from your living room into your kitchen and even your bathrooms, without the need for transitions or different flooring types. It’s a game-changer for modern home design and provides incredible versatility for any space.

Built to Last: The Durability of Artureon Floors

If you’re anything like us, you’ve probably seen floors that started off looking great but quickly succumbed to scratches, scuffs, and fading from everyday wear and tear. That’s why durability is paramount, and Artureon floors truly excel here. These floors are not just pretty faces; they’re built like tanks.

Artureon floors boast an impressive AC5 wear layer rating. For those new to flooring lingo, the AC rating (Abrasion Class) is an industry standard that measures a laminate’s resistance to abrasion, impact, stains, and moisture on a scale from AC1 to AC6. An AC5 rating is a very high classification, signifying suitability for heavy commercial use. This means it can handle the busy foot traffic of a busy office, let alone the everyday hustle and bustle of your home.

Beyond the AC5 rating, Artureon floors achieve the highest service class 33. This means they are particularly abrasion-resistant, extremely hard-wearing, scratch-resistant, colorfast, and robust. Whether it’s the playful antics of pets, the daily parade of children’s toys, or the constant shifting of furniture, these floors are designed to take a beating and keep looking fantastic. They’re virtually indestructible, offering maximum abrasion resistance and durability that makes them unique in the market.

We stand by this durability, offering a Limited Lifetime Residential Warranty with an impressive 10 years of waterproof coverage. For commercial applications, you get a solid 5-year warranty with 2 years of waterproof coverage. That’s confidence you can walk all over!

An Eco-Friendly Choice You Can Feel Good About

We know that what goes into our homes matters just as much as how it performs. Artureon floors are not only incredibly durable and beautiful but also deeply committed to sustainability, reflecting true Swiss environmental responsibility.

These floors are 100% Swiss Made, manufactured by SWISS KRONO, a company that takes its environmental footprint seriously. Every single piece of wood used comes exclusively from sustainably managed Swiss forests. In fact, a significant 30% of the wood content is recycled, actively contributing to CO2 reduction and ensuring that natural resources are used efficiently. We affectionately remember Sir Scruffy, our old mascot, who always nudged us towards greener choices. He would have loved this!

SWISS KRONO consistently produces sustainably, using renewable energies and optimized processes. Thanks to CO2 binding in the wood, their Artureon products are even CO2-neutral. This commitment extends to the “Cradle to Cradle” principle, meaning that these floors are fully recyclable. When their long life eventually comes to an end, the materials are designed to be repurposed into new wood-based materials, giving them “several lives” and actively contributing to a circular economy.

Furthermore, Artureon floors are free from PVC and phthalates, ensuring a healthier indoor environment for your family and pets. Choosing Artureon floors means bringing a product into your home that is not only high-performing but also respects and protects nature, from sustainable sourcing to CO2-neutral production.

Simple DIY Installation That Saves You Time and Money

Renovating can be tough on the wallet, and installation costs can quickly add up. That’s why we love products that empower our customers to take on projects themselves. Artureon floors feature a state-of-the-art 5G click system, making DIY installation surprisingly simple and efficient.

The 5G click system is recognized as one of the most modern and user-friendly locking mechanisms in the industry. It allows for a quick and easy floating installation, meaning the panels aren’t permanently attached to the subfloor. This not only speeds up the process but also reduces labor costs significantly. Our customers, from seasoned DIYers to first-time renovators, appreciate how easily these planks snap together.

What’s more, the highly compressed and waterproof wood core of Artureon floors offers exceptional stability. This means that you can install them over large areas, up to 20 x 20 meters (that’s about 65 x 65 feet!), without the need for unsightly expansion joints or profiles in doorways. This creates a beautifully seamless look throughout your space, a feature rarely found in other flooring types.

Another fantastic benefit for renovation projects is that often, extensive subfloor preparation isn’t necessary. This can save you a ton of time, mess, and additional expense, making your renovation journey much smoother. So, if you’re looking for a beautiful, durable floor that won’t break the bank on installation, Artureon floors are an excellent choice.
