Custom Wood Floors-
Wood floors that are made to order. Complete flexibility is allowed for
design, specie grade, mixed media applications, painted and any combination
thereof .
Developed during the middle ages
in Europe, elaborate designs, borders, inlays & medallions were crafted
for significant buildings such as castles, & monasteries. Today these
wood flooring styles are reflected in the modern day manufacturing and can
be enhanced with something as simple as a strip border around the perimeter
of the room or as ornate as a coat of arms in a foyer or a great room. Using
exotic woods from around the world, these custom designs & patterns can
add to and become the center focal point of any room. Giving each room a
Custom-one-of-a-kind wood floor.

Custom designs can give a
homeowner a "one-of-a-kind" floor and are a wonderful way to put
your personality and individual character in a home. The choices of pattern,
design, exotic woods sources and an artistic flare can provide a limitless
number of possibilities.
Mixed Media - By combining wood with several different media such as
slate, stone, marble, metal or ceramic tile, floor designs and patterns come
to life. Adding detail with paint is another alternative. Designs properly
applied will enhance and differentiate any wood floor. Use a solid gloss or
semi-gloss paint to make stripes, checkerboards, stenciled borders or even
flower or animal scenes. The paint must be compatible with the finish and
the floor must have two coats of finish over the paint.
Mixing Species - Mixing wood species is another way to create
contrast in wood flooring. Oak is not the only wood type being used today.
Maple, birch, walnut, Brazilian cherry, mahogany, ash and many other species
offer unique grain and color specs.
Affordable Custom Floors - A floor refinisher can use different wood
stains to create fool-the-eye inlays, pinstripes or borders. A simple brass
inlay around a fire place is a cost-effective way to add that value-added
touch. Or ready-to-lay, prefabricated wood tiles with medallions, star
bursts and elaborate borders are available through wood flooring dealers.
These pre-fabricated tiles allow homeowners to mix and match to create their
own patterns and designs.
