We’re thrilled to be bringing the Forté experience to Australia, with an exclusive edit of our refined timber products now available to order direct and view by appointment in Melbourne.
A proudly New Zealand–owned and family-operated business since 1985, Forté has spent more than three decades crafting timber products that blend natural elegance with enduring performance. Now, Australian architects, designers and homeowners can benefit from this legacy of craftsmanship, innovation and expertise.
Encompassing engineered wood flooring, architectural panelling and premium veneer panels, the curated range is designed to elevate interiors with a fully integrated timber experience. Surfaces are crafted to complement one another seamlessly – across floors, walls, ceilings and cabinetry – ensuring designers and specifiers can achieve visual harmony without compromise.

The Forté Difference
Setting Forté apart is not just the quality of the materials, but the depth of service and technical assurance behind them. Every product undergoes rigorous testing to meet the highest performance standards for durability, stability, and environmental safety. Innovative core constructions, UV-cured lacquers, and moisture-resistant finishes ensure long-term performance in both residential and commercial applications, while the prefinished nature of the collection not only guarantees colour consistency and refined detailing, but also reduces installation time and ongoing maintenance. Forté’s Aftercare Service, documentation, and design guidance also reflect a commitment to excellence at every stage of a project.
