i4F Board composition logo

i4F innovation takes many everyday flooring issues in its stride. Breakthrough magnesium oxide (MgO) veneer board reduces moisture intake and flammability, absorbs sound and uses less real wood. Meanwhile our static-control, dissipative flooring makes sensitive, high-traffic areas like operating theatres and computer rooms safer and easier to maintain.
