Why choose Arrigoni Woods?
The advantages of natural wood are exceptionally long-lasting. The benefits start with the visual impact and the way in which we experience wood as a material. In our carefully selected European collections, there are great visual and functional benefits.
The Arrigoni Advantage
You will be pleased to learn that Arrigoni Wood flooring has many advantages over solid wood flooring. The superb engineering enables us to have planks up to 19" wide with lengths up to 19', even over in-floor radiant heat. Standard flooring guidelines do not recommend solid wood to be used at these dimensions over radiant heat.

Sustainability
We source our wood from the finest sustainably managed forests in Europe. You can enjoy your Arrigoni Woods floor with a clear conscience, as the forests they come from are still thriving.
In today’s world many speak of sustainability but we at Arrigoni Woods actually guarantee it. The PEFC certificate on our products proves that our timber originates from forests with sustainable forestry, where the amount of timber which is cut equals that which is re-grown. But this is not the whole story. Rather than concentrating on rare tropical timbers, we have always focused on native wood species and in order to preserve the natural resources, the wood waste from our production is converted into new energy in our own biomass heater. Therefore choosing Arrigoni Woods and Admonter is choosing nature itself in every respect.

The product range is broad; appealing to both domestic and commercial use, with product integrity being of paramount importance. The entire portfolio carries the PEFC certificate – Europe’s quality seal for wood products made using sustainable forest material.

PEFC Certificate
Europe's quality seal for wood made of sustainable forest management. Anyone using wood with the PEFC quality seal, promotes natural forests, careful forest management, variety of species of animals and plants and the preservation of a natural environment with high recreational value. STIA Holzindustrie uses its wood from sustainable managed forests and was therefore awarded with the PEFC quality seal, issued by an institution of the Pan-European forest and wood management.
IBR Quality Seal
Products free of harmful substances promoting health and well-being are getting more and more popular. Arrigoni's Admonter wide planks are real natural products. Our products are regularly tested by the independent Institute for Construction Biology in Rosenheim (Germany). This institute awarded the Admonter Natural Floor the IBR quality seal for harmlessness in terms of health and ecology.
Green Energy
In the thermal power station equipped with innovative filtration techniques, Arrigoni's partner STIA (Admonter) produces heat and electricity by recycling manufacturing waste. In our STIA thermal / bio mass power station we produce 15.000 – 20.000 kWh (this is 1000 times more than a heating system in normal house which is about 20 kWh). STIA provides energy for it's own production, the office building, the monastery, the local grammar school of the Benedictines and half of the private houses in the village of Admont. Our production does not contaminate water or air.
Admonter – Natural Thermo Treatment
Arrigoni's partner, Admonter has thermo-treated planks and panels which are darkened through the special thermo-treatment which absolutely meet the current trend for dark timber. During this innovative production process which does not employ any chemicals or dyes the wood is heated to more than 200° Celsius under the exclusion of oxygen. The different color shades of the timber can be achieved by regulating the intensity and duration of the heat.
