"European Touch offers industry-leading hardwood flooring with the right combination of elegance, functionality and value. Our company, Burgers Architecture, has used floors from European Touch since 2016, and they are a standard specification in our designs.
As the co-founder and leader of Interior Design at our firm, I have worked with a multitude of high-quality materials on many upscale private residences and commercial projects. European Touch Hardwood stands out as best-in-class because they deliver high-style and refinement at an accessible price.
European Touch’s product collection covers a significant range of formats, colors and finishes. They are constantly evolving to improve the environmental impact and technical benefits of their flooring. The result is hardwood flooring that looks incredible, endures over time and matches innovation in Passive House design.
We look forward to continued partnership with European Touch Hardwood and are delighted to see their floors installed in our clients’ homes."

"European Touch Hardwood has been a reliable supplier and wonderful design partner on a wide variety of private residential, multi-unit and commercial projects since 2000.
As an interior designer, I love finding the right balance between elegance, sophistication and ease in any space. European Touch Hardwood offers the floors and a collaboration experience that helps me deliver this vision for all my clients.
Their floors unite a long tradition of European craftsmanship with the advantages of modern manufacturing. Precise milling, quality finishes and a sophisticated color palette combine to create a refined, stylish floor that complements any space.
European Touch deeply understands the details that make exceptional hardwood floors, and they consistently deliver at the highest level. They are active contributors to the design process who understand how a floor’s visual and technical characteristics shape the living environment.
I consider them colleagues and friends in cultivating fine-living and design."
