Unilin Panels Master Oak rewarded for "High Product Quality" at Interzum 2023
09/05/2023
With Master Oak, we combine the authentic look and feel of natural oak with the performance of HPL and melamine. In fact, this high-performance HPL surface even offers three times more scratch-resistance, easier maintenance and excellent durability. And that didn’t go unnoticed by the jury of experts at interzum award 2023! Unilin Panels Master Oak won the “High Product Quality” distinction in the Materials and Nature category on the 8th of May.
Master Oak is “Shaping the Change”
The interzum awards are a design competition in Cologne, organized in collaboration with Red Dot. This year’s theme, “Shaping the Change”, is focused on innovations for the benefit of environmental protection and a sustainable economy. And that’s where Unilin Panels Master Oak comes in. Made from 95% recovered wood and with a look and feel that’s inseparable from real oak, Master Oak is the more sustainable and affordable alternative to oak and oak veneer.
Being recognised for the innovation, functionality, quality, design and sustainability of Master Oak by the respected judging panel of interzum awards 2023 is hugely satisfying.
