Your floor, specified from the wood up

  • Species

    Choose the wood itself—from familiar domestic character to distinctive species with their own grain, tone, and movement.

  • Grade

    Control the visual range, from quieter and more consistent boards to expressive natural variation, knots, and mineral character.

  • Construction

    Select solid or engineered construction according to the project, installation conditions, and performance goals.

  • Engineered wear layer

    Specify the wear-layer thickness to align the engineered floor with expectations for longevity and future renewal.

  • Texture

    Shape the surface with wire brushing, a worn treatment, or a cleaner texture that changes how grain and color catch the light.

  • Color and sheen

    Complete the floor with a custom color direction and sheen—from restrained matte character to a more polished presence.

Color developed with the wood

One species. A remarkable range of expression.

Finish color is never selected in isolation. Grain, grade, texture, preparation, and light all shape the result. We develop physical samples so you can compare subtle natural tones, warm depth, and dramatic contrast before your floor is produced.

The finish changes how hardwood lives

  • Factory-cured finishes

    Highly controlled coatings cured during production for consistent appearance, strong wear performance, and straightforward everyday care.

  • Waterborne systems

    Clear film-forming finishes valued for low ambering, a broad sheen range, and a clean contemporary appearance.

  • Oil-modified polyurethane

    A traditional film finish that develops a warmer tone and familiar depth while protecting the wood with a continuous surface layer.

  • Osmo hardwax-oil

    A plant oil-and-wax system that emphasizes the wood’s tactile character with a microporous surface designed for care, renewal, and localized repair.
