Czar Floors Richboro, Pennsylvania

By Burt Bollinger OVAL Elegance

Covering 800 square feet in a residential space, this exceptional floor blends timeless design with state of-the-art technology. Leveraging the Leika 3D laser scanner for precise templating, the team brought the homeowner’s vision to life by crafting a curved border within columns to form an elegant oval. The intricate process involved scaling the border design and ensuring its seamless integration with the room’s unique contours, a challenge met with remarkable precision. Material selection was a meticulous process, with Merbau chosen for its rich coloration and dimensional stability, paired with rift white oak strip flooring to impart a sense of classic sophistication. Recognizing the demands of radiant heating, the team prioritized dimensionally stable species to ensure long-term performance. This project exemplifies Czar Floors’ consistent excellence, earning them yet another recognition as a multi-time Wood Floor of the Year winner. By harmonizing traditional artistry with cutting edge technology, this floor showcases the endless possibilities in wood flooring innovation.
