Padouk wood and bespoke parquet flooring
Padouk (Pterocarpus) is valued for its toughness, stability in use, and, having a reddish colour, decorativeness. When freshly cut, it is a very bright red but when exposed to sunlight it fades over time to a warm brown. Its color makes it a favourite among woodworkers.
But it's not only wood in design patterns we can supply/install for you: we frequently receive requests to source missing amounts in wood strips, blocks or planks in specific measurements for renovation-projects, sizes or wood types normally not available in the main-stream supply-lines.
With help from our (Dutch) manufacturer we can provide - bespoke - flooring matching in size in various wood-types. Among these are 10mm wood blocks in Oak, Teak, Afzelia, Merbau from 50 to 90mm wide cut in any lengths or 10 - 14mm woodstrips with T&G's.
Need something even different or rare, why not give us a call? We know our manufacturer can honour most of our requests (they haven't said 'can't do' to us yet).
(N.B. colour differences between new and old blocks, strips will be noticeable in the beginning)
