Floor Focus “We supplied 3,500 square feet of one of our most popular floors, the Vintage Loft Collection, in the color Harborside,” says Coghlan. “This prefinished European white oak that we manufacture is 8” wide, with 70 percent of the planks being 8’ long. “The homebuilder, Carbine & Associates, is a consistent client and knew we could supply the floors the homeowner dreamed of,” continues Coghlan. Due to the length of the planks, the floors were installed using a full-spread glue-down method. The adhesive used was also made by Real Wood Floors. To complement the new floors, the same material was used to make custom nosing and treads in the home. Notes Coghlan, “The installer custom cut the flooring into square nosing and used the 8”-wide plank to make the treads so that it all matched perfectly. “With a black exterior and white interior, this farmhouse isn’t what you’d expect,” he continues. “We were excited to be a part of this beautiful home that has since gone viral on social media. It’s an honor to have our floors recognized in that way.” g
