What distinguishes a brushed board from a smooth one? Its appearance, which emphasizes the natural beauty of wood. On brushed boards, cracks, knots and above all the graining, which is tactile, are clearly visible. A Barlinek board with a brushed top layer resembles an aged traditional wooden floor. It works great in both classic and modern arrangements. It looks very impressive when laid over a large area, e.g. in lofts.
