Hardwood Floors February/March 2019

WD Flooring Laona, Wisconsin

The flooring is northern oak with a skipsawn texture and colored with an Empire Bronze treatment. The main area of the home is a random-width pattern. The entry featured a Bordeaux parquet pattern, created by Dan Antes of Distinctive Hardwood Floors using WD Flooring’s random- length planks. Antes then shipped the panels back toWD Flooring for finishing. The entire process took about six months from concept to completed installation. “This floor was one of our top choices to enter for a Wood Floor of the Year Award because it truly encompasses everything that we as a company can do: custom color, prefinished parquet panels (with help fromDan), and our unique texturing capabilities. It really shows the broad range of what WD Flooring can do,” said Verich. g
