Description

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.
