Exotic Wood Species

Exotic hardwoods are prized for their distinctive grain patterns, rich colors, and unique textures, making them an ideal choice for homeowners seeking to make a bold statement with their flooring. From the deep, warm hues of Brazilian cherry to the striking contrasts of tigerwood, exotic wood species add luxury and sophistication to any room.

Reclaimed Wood

For those with a penchant for sustainability and history, reclaimed hardwoods offer a compelling option for custom flooring installation.

Reclaimed wood adds rustic charm and warmth to interior spaces and promotes environmental stewardship by giving new life to materials that would otherwise end up in landfills.

Hand-scraped textures evoke a sense of old-world craftsmanship and artisanal charm, adding depth and character to hardwood surfaces. Each plank is meticulously hand-scraped to create subtle variations in texture and tone, resulting in a floor that exudes warmth and authenticity. Hand-scraped finishes are particularly well-suited for rustic, traditional, and farmhouse-inspired interiors, where they add a touch of nostalgia and timeless elegance.

Wire-Brushed Finish

Wire-brushed finishes offer a more contemporary take on texture, enhancing hardwoods' natural grain and texture with subtle grooves and indentations. By lightly brushing the surface of the wood with wire brushes, artisans create a weathered look that adds rustic charm and visual interest to the flooring. Wire-brushed finishes are versatile enough to complement a wide range of design styles, from modern and industrial to coastal and Scandinavian, making them a popular choice for homeowners seeking to add character and personality to their interiors.

Herringbone Pattern

The herringbone pattern is a classic choice for custom hardwood flooring, renowned for its timeless elegance and refined aesthetic. By arranging planks at 90-degree angles to create a V-shaped pattern, herringbone layouts add visual interest and sophistication to any room. This distinctive pattern creates a sense of movement and flow, making it an ideal choice for traditional and contemporary interiors.

Chevron Pattern

The chevron pattern offers a stylish alternative to traditional hardwood layouts for those seeking a more dynamic and modern look. Characterized by its zigzag design, chevron patterns add energy and depth to hardwood flooring, creating a bold statement that commands attention. Whether used as a focal point in a living room or as a dramatic backdrop in a hallway, chevron patterns infuse spaces with a sense of movement and vitality.

B. Custom Inlays and Borders

Inlay Designs

Custom inlays showcase the craftsmanship and artistry of hardwood installation, incorporating intricate patterns, motifs, or personalized elements into the flooring surface. From geometric designs to floral motifs, inlay designs add a layer of sophistication and charm to any room, creating visual focal points that capture the eye and spark conversation.

Border Treatments

Border treatments offer a creative way to frame and define areas within a space, enhancing visual appeal and architectural interest. Whether it's a simple border in a contrasting wood species or a more elaborate design featuring intricate detailing, border treatments add depth and dimension to hardwood flooring, creating a sense of elegance and refinement.
