Wormy Soft Maple


Installed and finished on site with waterbase finish.   Great character!

















Teak Parquet

Teak naturally shows loads of colour variations and makes for a beautiful floor when left without stain.

Parquet Revival: Dark Stain & Waterbased Finish

The customers loved their parquet floor and only wanted to make it more relevant to the ccurrent deisgn trends.  We applied dark stain and opted for a low VOC water-based urethane as finish.  Water-based finishes ccost slightly more but the benefits largely out-weigh the cost.  With quicker drying times the coats can be applied closer together, however most customers only remark on the absence of the usual unpleasant odour assoiated with oil-based urethanes. 

Better for your environment by a long shot!

Stained diamond pattern on red oak

This was a new floor that we installed and stained in a diamond pattern with "red mahogany" to achieve that custom look that our customer wanted. They especially liked how it played off the stainless steel appliances and the dark cabinetry.
