About us

Forté was established in 1985, we’re a family business firmly rooted in our beginnings of working with timber. We’ve evolved and matured over the years, to become one of the leading suppliers of refined timber surfaces including flooring, panelling, decking and exterior cladding. We’ve got here because of one important trait: we care. Caring is ingrained into everything we do, at every step of the journey from product design to aftercare. It’s there in our commitment to sustainability too. And as our team has grown, that sense of caring has simply grown with us. We’re committed to putting the very best timber surfaces in the hands of architects, designers, builders and homeowners. We do this with passion, integrity, knowledge, and products designed specifically for our unique environments. That’s always been our way. In the words of our founders, we’re small enough to care, but large enough to deliver. That’s our Forté.

    We are excited to be the first and only timber flooring supplier in New Zealand to have CodeMark for all Wood Flooring Collections and now have the most comprehensive timber flooring system that is fully compliant with the new building code changes. Specifying our CodeMark certified timber flooring ensures the Building Consent Process is quicker, RFI’s are reduced and the possibility of council delaying consent in the submission stage of your project is eliminated. Our decision to undergo the process of obtaining CodeMark certification for all our timber flooring collections was in response to feedback from clients who were having difficulties getting council consent for timber flooring in kitchens and other wet areas. Now that our flooring is fully compliant with the building code changes, you can rest assured that by specifying our products, you’ll easily gain consent from council.
