Timber Flooring
Everyone
loves a wooden floor. Maybe it's because, more than anything else,
no two floors are identical; not even from the same species, the
same age and from the same area. There will still be variations
in colour, tone and markings. In an age of homogeneous, mass production
it makes a wooden floor something very special.
