BJELIN’s (formerly Välinge Flooring) Premium Rigid Core Collection, designed in Sweden, is the next generation of high-end rigid core flooring that looks and feels like the most luxurious wood floor. It is a premium flooring experience without the premium cost. The Rigid Core Collection from BJELIN consists of 9"x72" XL size panels in eight decors featuring Embossing in Register, which makes it easy to bring luxury to virtually any room.  

 Rigid Core is also made with the revolutionary Liteback technology from Välinge Innovations which effectively minimizes the mark these floors leave on the planet. Liteback provides for up to 20% recovery of raw materials in manufacturing, reducing the weight of the floor and, as a result, significantly decreasing the supply chain carbon footprint. The lighter weight means the panels are easier – and safer – to both transport and install. This unique production method successfully imbues the floor with noise-canceling properties and combined with the high-quality IXPE attached to the backside of the product, noise absorption is further optimized leading to a much-improved sound environment.
