Why spec it through us
The European floor, with a local PM behind it.
01
The line RIVA features here
ProFloors is RIVA Spain's Southwest-Florida partner — the Naples dealer they publish in their own case studies. Spec it through us and it ships from RIVA's Florida warehouse, not across an ocean.
02
Specified to your drawings
Color, width, grade, and pattern matched to your spec — with samples to your library and submittals your way, so what's drawn is what gets installed.
03
One PM, photo-documented
One project manager from takeoff to punch list, every install photo-documented. Twenty-eight years in Collier, zero callbacks — your name stays clean.
04
It survives the slab
European white oak on a marine-grade Baltic birch core, glued straight to a Florida slab — engineered to stay flat through the humidity swings that warp lesser oak.
The line card
Six oak collections. One core.
Every collection is 100% European white oak on a marine-grade Baltic birch core — EN13489, FSC, CARB2, NWFA. Select or Character grade. Pull the spec sheet for each.

The accessible entry into RIVA oak — a 3mm top layer on the same European white oak look.
Spec sheetEvery line comes in all 12 Florida colors and either Select or Character grade — the full palette and matching surfaces are below.
Reactive oak — color grown into the grain.
La Riva's reactive boards aren't stained on top — the color is reacted into the wood itself, so the figure shifts plank to plank. Phantom is the widest, most dramatic of them. Here it is at full grain.

Beyond the floor
The same oak, past the floor.
The floor is what we install most. But RIVA makes the surfaces around it too — so a project can carry one material from the great room up a wall, onto the lanai, and into the places wood can't go.
RIVA WallWall cladding
Real oak, milled into slat wall panels — the floor's material climbing a feature wall or headboard.

Wood-look porcelain in matching tones, plus marble, stone, and cement looks — for showers, lanais, and pool decks where wood can't go.

What's inside the board.
Start at the core. RIVA builds on marine-grade Baltic birch — a construction decision that costs more, but lets the floor glue straight to a Naples slab and stay flat. The finish is the tell: VOC-free Bona lacquer repairs in place when scratched. Most aluminum-oxide alternatives turn white and force a board swap.

Two grades, one tree
Select
The clean cut — solid knots up to 10 mm in under 10% of the material, no open knots, no repaired splits. The look behind contemporary, premium floors.
Character
Solid knots up to 3" (70 mm) and filled open knots under 2" (50 mm) — a warmer, lived-in grain. RIVA never lets oversized or heavily distressed boards into either grade.

RIVA vs. typical engineered oak.
Most engineered oak is built to a price and a catalog. RIVA Spain is built to a slab, a climate, and a standard — milled by a fourth-generation family in northwestern Spain and held to a short list of dealers.
