French term or phrase: aspect structure
"Revêtement de sol stratifié
Aspect structuré
Lames jointives
Idéal pour pièces à faible passage, hors pièces humides
Pose flottante sans colle - à clipser dans la longueur
Compatibilité chauffage au sol basse température
Entretien facile"


Is this structured appearance or aspect? I was wondering if it could mean veneered?

English translation:textured look
Explanation:
Normally I'd interpret structuré as "textured", i.e. with relief, roughness, but I doubt ACTUAL texture is desirable in this floor surfacing. However, it might LOOK AS IF it has texture.
