Dream Catcher Interiors
has a vast selection of hardwood floors
Finishings include:
Distressed: Give a new floor the look and character of a vintage floor, while still maintaining a uniform installation fit. The most commonly used method is hand scraping, whereby a metal edge removes the surface layer of wood to give it greater texture. this process creates a more natural distressing around raised knots; thus, enhancing the wood’s organic contours.
Smoked: In smoked floors, the tannins in the wood react to the burn, thereby giving the floor a darker, grey; exactly how deep a color is desired
determines the duration of this treatment. Since not every piece of wood in a floor will contain the same amount of tannins, one section could appear darker than others. The result is an authentic, rustic floor with greater color variation.
Brushed: For a floor with extra accentuation, wire-brushed floors are spectacular. Brushing removes the soft wood from the floor and further brings out its texture. This makes the floor even more durable and impact resistant. Any minor scratches and “imperfections” over the years as a result become less apparent and give way to that unique and characteristic appearance for which many of customers yearn.
Carbonized:
To further simulate the extremes of nature,.some flooring undergoes carbonization, a process that exposes the wood to extreme heat and freezing temperatures. These fluctuations strengthened the wood, while brilliantly aging its appearance.
