Distressed
This finish uses a hand-cut bevel and sort-surface scarring which results in an aged, lived-in appearance. A specialist applies random imperfections that would otherwise take many years to accumulate naturally from use. This gives the floor an aged character that contrasts beautifully with modern furnishings or complements a rustic interior. That’s the power of distressed flooring.
Finesawn & Brushed
Wooden floorboards distinguish themselves through their beautiful, natural structure: the grain. If you would like to accentuate this feature, then the fine sawn and/or brushed finishes are perfect for you. The finesawn & brushed option combines natural richness and grain with a velvety surface that feels truly delightful underfoot. Beautiful knots and dramatic marks give the floor real depth, texture, and character.
Not everything in life has to be genteel and delicate. With its distinctive bandsaw-treated surface, this option features a finely irregular structure and coarse-looking stripes that create a tough, true-grit appearance. The result is a vibrant living or working space that’s simply bursting with energy, character, and vitality.
Hand Burnt
Each individual floorboard is hand burnt and then wire-brushed to accentuate the wood’s natural grain and texture. The idea is to create a floor that appears incredibly old, as if worn down by foot traffic until each floorboard has a soft, undulating character. This unique, weathered look is the result of an intense process that involves no fewer than 17 different treatments. The hand burnt floors are inspired by life at its most raw, and the result is something truly exceptional.
The Jeker, Wye, Loire, and Eden are all hand burnt product collections.
Micro Bevel
Sometimes called an eased edge or kissed edge, a micro bevel is a 45-degree cut that produces a small groove along the edges of installed floorboards. When two micro-bevel floorboards meet, these micro-bevels create an almost imperceptible “V” shape. Micro-beveling camouflages small imperfections in the wood, such as pin knots, and a common problem called “over-wood.” Over-wood occurs when one floorboard must be laid slightly higher than adjacent boards. The micro-beveled edge creates a smoother transition from the higher floorboard to its neighbors, giving the appearance of a flatter floor.
Wire Brushed
The wire bushing removes soft fibers of the wood, accentuating the harder grains, the result is a gently worn antiqued texture. Our “Brushed” floors combine the natural richness and grain with a velvety surface that feels truly delightful underfoot. A special bruising process accentuates the grain and structure of the planks while making it feel soft to the touch. The character of the wood Burts into life to create a floor of real depth, texture and character.
Square Edge
Square Edge floorboards fit flush on all the sides. This results in a sleek transition that appears almost seamless. The finished look is exceptionally uniform and appealing to the eye. Because square edge wood flooring is less common than beveled or micro-beveled flooring, it gives an exclusive look and feel to your floors. This edging is appropriate for modern or formal room settings. Without beveled edges, the almost seamless joints produce a floor that appears as if it were made from a single piece of wood.

Simply classic, elegant, timeless, traditional. Simply beautiful.
