Padouk wood and bespoke parquet flooring

Installing design parquet patterns is one of the specialities we do - from 'simple' herringbone to various elaborate patterns (see our 'something special' page). We have received a new (double sided) large sample board in our showroom:

Wood You Like, Natural Wooden Flooring design parquet pattern in tropical PadoukPadouk (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)

Another range added to our collection: Quality Cork Flooring

We're happy to announce we are (again) able to supply (and install) Natural Cork (WicCork) and Natural Wood-Cork (WicWood) Flooring.

Wood You Like, Natural Cork Flooring

Cork flooring: a perfect solution where extra sound-insulation is needed, without compromising on elegance or well being, from a renewable and sustainable natural source.
The raw material in this product comes from the cork Oak tree (south of Portugal). The bark of the tree is harvested every nine years. This is the time it takes for these trees to produce the essential structure that provides the raw material with its unique
properties and makes it the best insulating material in the world.

Wood You Like, Natural Cork FlooringWicCork "Nature walks with you": a palette of ideas inspired by nature, combining textures and surprising colours. The originality of each pattern gives any surface a personal and distinctive touch.
The 'stick-down' tiles can be supplied pre-finished with a hardwearing surface layer, very suitable for high traffic residential areas, commercial and public spaces. The tiles are build up with a vinyl-backing layer, cork agglomerate core, real cork veneer and a clear vinyl wear layer.
For easy and quick installation WicCork is also available in 29.5 cm wide by 90 cm long composed floorboards (10.5mm or 12mm thick) with integrated insulating cork underlay and HDF middle layer with the Corkloc glueless system.

Ask in store for more details, technical specifications (sound reduction per range etc) and prices.
