Magnitude sustainable magnetic wood flooring powered by IOBAC combines FSC-engineered oak with a magnetic film, offering a sustainable, circular, cost-saving, adhesive-free, and durable wood floor.
Suitable for commercial applications with a magnetically receptive raised access floor
The combination of the tongue and groove planks and high strength magnetic film creates a two-dimensional hold vertically and horizontally to a magnetically receptive raised access floor.
Magnetic sustainable wood flooring contributes towards sustainability assessment certifications, such as BREEAM, SKA and LEED, by earning credits for material reuse.
Improved circularity - Flooring can be easily reused, avoiding additional embodied carbon.
Designed for disassembly - Magnetic flooring maximises economic value and minimises environmental impacts through reuse, repair, remanufacture and recycling.
Asset protection- The subfloor remains undamaged, eliminating costly remedial or replacement work and reduced dilapidation costs.
STRONG, YET REVERSIBLE HOLD
• Powerful 2-dimensional hold.
• Tongue-and-groove mechanism locks planks together horizontally. A strong magnetic grip holds vertically to a magnetically receptive metal raised access floor.
SUSTAINABLE AND CIRCULAR – ADHESIVE FREE INSTALLATION
• Maximises economic value and minimises environmental impact.
• Wood flooring is sustainable and finishes are plant and water based.
• Easy to deconstruct, reuse, repurpose and recycle.
• Flooring can be reused, significantly reducing landfill waste and avoiding additional embedded carbon from new materials.
• No sub-floor contamination – no messy, expensive remediation work.
• The magnetic film is PVC, phthalate, plasticiser and VOC free.
IMPROVED HEALTH & WELLBEING
• VOC’s associated with wet adhesive installation methods are eliminated for improved Indoor Air Quality.
• Magnetic backing does not interfere with hearing loops, Wi-Fi or electronic devices.
FAST INSTALLATION
• Reduced labour time and cost – quick and clean to install and uplift.
• Minimal preparation required – no sealants, primers or plywood bases needed.
• The T&G planks require no additional pinning or fixing (providing installed to a level raised access floor).
• Reduced maintenance costs.
• Ease of access maintained.
DESIGN FLEXIBILITY
• 20 core products or choose from our bespoke range with 1000s of combinations of colours, textures, sizes and finishes available.
• Manufactured in the UK by WFA.

Colours | BF497. Manufacturer guidancePlease note for colours BF497, BF638, BF920, BF922, BF929, BF941, BF1976, BF2811, BF3750: To achieve smoked and fumed finishes the timber is smoked. Although this is a controlled process there will be variation in colour tones as they are dictated by a reaction with the natural tannins within the Oak. This process enhances the natural variation tones in the wood to create a varied appearance. Smoked floors will naturally lighten and mellow with time.
