LIGHT TONES IN HARDWOOD FLOORING

Whether you’re seeking to enhance the perception of space, create a bright and airy atmosphere, give yourself the freedom to play with a wide variety of interior design styles, reduce the impact of wear, or add real value to your home or project, choosing light tones in your hardwood flooring can be an investment.

Let’s explore the benefits of light tones listed above in more detail.

ENHANCE AND BRIGHTEN YOUR SPACE

By reflecting more light and tastefully complimenting accessories, light tones can make smaller rooms and spaces with less access to natural light feel airier, more expansive, and more inviting. Think of light tones as a powerful way to transform a blank slate into a warm and human-centered design.

ADD VALUE

Precisely because it can infuse a space with the vitality and positivity described above, light-toned hardwood floors remain an evergreen favorite among designers and prospective buyers alike. And because that classic, timeless look does not go out of style, you will broaden the appeal of a space to a wider group of people and add value to your investment.

FIREWOOD

The upper section of the tree is used for firewood, which may not be suitable for flooring due to higher branch density and smaller trunk size.

CHARACTER

Our character grade comes from the middle part of the tree. This part has a visual appeal and some knots but avoids the large holes of the top part. We refer to our character grade as “light character”.

SELECT

Our select grade comes from the bottom part of the tree and is the youngest wood, which results in the absence of knots and a sleek appearance.
