HARDWOOD
Hardwood is an advanced wall protection product from P3tec, distributed in Australia by Baresque.

Applications
Hardwood suits high-traffic commercial and institutional interiors where wall surfaces are exposed to frequent impact, abrasion, and chemical cleaning. Typical installations include healthcare facilities, food service environments, aged care, education, transportation hubs, and hospitality. The biophilic timber-grain aesthetic makes it suitable for reception areas, corridors, and breakout spaces where a natural material look is desired without the maintenance demands of real timber.
