ABOUT THE MILL

Arbony brings centuries of European wood-finishing heritage together with modern craft in Belgium. Specializing in aged, distressed French Oak, Arbony’s artisans use proprietary aging methods to give each plank the authentic texture, patina, and soul of centuries-old reclaimed timber. Sourcing exclusively high-grade French Oak, the mill balances historic artisan aesthetic with precision engineering.

FINISHES

Arbony floors are available in two durable finish options designed to enhance and protect the wood's natural character:

• 2K Acrylic Varnish: A highly durable, low-maintenance protective finish that provides exceptional resistance against heavy foot traffic, spills, and wear—ideal for high-use residential and commercial spaces while maintaining a crisp, low-glare appearance.

• Osmo Hardwax Oil: A natural, microporous finish made from plant oils and waxes that penetrates deep into the French Oak fibers. It preserves the organic, tactile texture of the wood, offers easy spot-repairability, and allows the timber to age gracefully with a rich patina over time.

DURABILITY & PERFORMANCE

• Engineered & Solid Constructions: Available in both Engineered Tongue & Groove and traditional Solid Tongue & Groove options. The engineered profile provides enhanced dimensional stability against seasonal atmospheric shifts.

• Radiant Heat & Climate Stability: Engineered options provide structural integrity that resists cupping and warping, making them suitable for varied climate conditions when properly installed according to manufacturer guidelines.

• Janka Hardness Rating: Premium French Oak offers robust durability (approx. 1,360 lbf), exceptionally suited for high-traffic residential and commercial applications.

ENVIRONMENTAL & CERTIFICATIONS

• Sustainably Sourced: Arbony owns and operates its own dedicated sawmill directly in the heart of the French Ardennes Forest, maintaining strict oversight across every stage of production. Deeply committed to environmental stewardship, Arbony sources controlled timber exclusively from sustainably managed forests in Belgium and France. To support rigorous green building standards and responsible sourcing requirements, products can be supplied with FSC® (FSC-C118621) or PEFC (PEFC/07-31-303) certification upon request.
