Magnitude Sustainable Magnetic Wood Flooring
Sustainable, circular, adhesive-free installation
Sustainability and environmental benefits
Magnitude sustainable magnetic wood flooring, powered by IOBAC, combines our high-quality Stability FSC-engineered oak with a high strength magnetic film to provide a sustainable, circular, cost saving, adhesive-free, contamination-free and durable real wood floor installation.
The combination of the tongue and groove planks and high strength magnetic film creates a two-dimensional hold vertically and horizontally to a magnetically receptive raised access floor.
Magnetic sustainable wood flooring contributes towards sustainability assessment certifications, such as BREEAM, SKA and LEED, by earning credits for material reuse.
Improved circularity
Flooring can be easily reused, avoiding additional embodied carbon.
Designed for disassembly
Magnetic flooring maximises economic value and minimises environmental impacts through reuse, repair, remanufacture and recycling.
Asset protection
The subfloor remains undamaged, eliminating costly remedial or replacement work and reduced dilapidation costs.
What are the benefits of magnetic wood flooring?
Strong, yet reversible hold
- Powerful two-dimensional hold
- Tongue and groove mechanism locks planks together horizontally. A strong magnetic grip holds vertically to a magnetically receptive metal raised access floor
Sustainable and circular – adhesive-free installation
- Maximises economic value and minimises environmental impact
- Wood flooring is sustainable and finishes are plant and water based
- Easy to deconstruct, reuse, repurpose and recycle
- Flooring can be reused, significantly reducing landfill waste and avoiding additional embedded carbon from new materials
- No subfloor contamination, eliminating messy, expensive remediation work
- The magnetic film is PVC, phthalate, plasticiser and VOC free
Improved health and well-being
- VOCs associated with wet adhesive installation methods are eliminated for improved indoor air quality
- Magnetic backing does not interfere with hearing loops, Wi-Fi or electronic devices
Fast installation
- Reduced labour time and cost – quick and clean to install and uplift
- Minimal preparation required – no sealants, primers or plywood bases needed
- The tongue and groove planks require no additional pinning or fixing (providing they are installed to a level raised access floor)
- Reduced maintenance costs
- Ease of access maintained

NOTE: To achieve our smoked and fumed finishes, the timber is smoked. Although this is a controlled process, there will be variation in colour tones because they are dictated by a reaction with the natural tannins within the oak. This process enhances the natural variation tones in the wood to create a beautiful and varied appearance. Smoked floors will naturally lighten and mellow with time, so please ensure that you request a new sample for colour approval before placing an order.
Where can magnitude sustainable magnetic wood flooring be used?
Magnetic wood flooring is ideal for commercial buildings, workspaces or any installation with a metal raised access floor.
What are the subfloor requirements?
The subfloor must be to British Standard SR1 tolerance with a maximum 3mm over a 2m straight edge. Lipping between access panels must not be greater than 0.5mm. The panels must be sound, dry, clean, free from contaminants and degreased if required prior to installation.
