Moda Altro is a curated collection of timber designed for the New Zealand lifestyle. Offering modern colour tones, beautiful wide planks, and complimentary herringbone and stair nosings to match, Moda Altro is perfect for those wanting an on-trend, cohesive interior.

WHAT IS MODA ALTRO?

Moda Altro is a premium range of engineered wood flooring which includes all the popular colours, styles and benefits of Moda, but with additional features such as a wider plank, more options in herringbone and an even more sustainable core material.

The Collection has a 15mm engineered construction, with 4mm European Oak wear layer, 11mm Hevea core and Spruce backing. It boasts nine of the same stylish colours and matching stair nosings as Moda, with some now available in both feature and light feature grade oak (including the best-selling Capri), and the re-introduction of Como.  

With a trend in demand for wider planks, Moda Altro comes in a beautiful 220mm wide plank. The collection also offers Herringbone in Capri, Sorrento, Dolcedo, Mondello and Verona. 

Developed by Forté, Moda Altro’s new NatureMatte finish looks raw and untouched like an oil. A Bona®-based finish from Sweden, NatureMatte provides superior durability and water resistance. 

Moda Altro is low VOC, has no added formaldehyde and has a 4mm European Oak wear layer. To circumvent the current global shortage of plywood, Moda Altro features a Hevea core, which shares the strength and density of oak, but delivers greater dimensional stability.

Moda Altro can be used on floors, walls and ceilings in both residential and commercial spaces.

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.”
