Tried, Tested, and Trusted
Black Forest Plus isn’t new to the spotlight. It’s trusted by architects, interior designers, and installers across South Africa. With years of proven performance and new upgrades built in, BF+ continues to deliver the durability and style professionals expect.
Improved Colours
We’ve listened, updated, and improved! The popular Sun Kissed Oak has been refined to remove the pink undertones, now offering a more neutral shade with a tougher, more durable surface while still closely resembling the much-loved Sun Bleached Oak.
In addition to this update, the range now includes three new natural tones that bring enhanced colour depth, realistic texture, and increased durability across the collection.
The updated Maple Mist and Oakwood Villa closely match their original counterparts in appearance but now feature an upgraded locking system.
Please note: these new versions are not compatible with the previous locking profiles.
