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.”
