Light Reflectance Values

Light Reflectance Values - Solid Timber Species

These are the indicative Light Reflectance Values (LRVs) for Featurecraft products. The LRV measures the percentage of visible light reflected by a surface. These values can be used to estimate contrast and lighting and to fine-tune the aesthetic composition of your space.

LRVs will vary depending on the surface treatments applied to your product. Additionally, natural materials like timber are expected to have colour, grain, and figure variations. Featurecraft therefore recommends using our LRVs as a reference only, and requesting verified values from our team if needed.

All products and finishes are curated by Featurecraft to align with modern architectural design requirements and to embody the natural qualities of New Zealand's landscape.
