Recycled Hardwood Flooring from Terramai - new Rose Mix & Golden Rose exotic floors

Terramai has just released two new hardwood flooring products, Rose Mix and Golden Rose. If you judged them by the lush colors and quality finish alone, either could easily grace the floors of any modern space. However these floors are hiding a secret; they're composed entirely of recycled hardwoods. Both sourced from Asia, the Rose Mix is composed primarily of Rosewood, Pradu, Pyinkado, Narra and other rose-toned hardwoods used in railroad ties, while the Pterocarpus woods making up the Golden Rose flooring are typically reclaimed from the structural members of old industrial buildings. We like to think of it as flooring with beauty and brains. Terramai

Wood Tile Floor from Broadleaf - the contemporary wooden flooring for modern homes

This contemporary wood tile floor is bright and open, making it the ideal complement to modern furnishing. The blonde colored wood brings a warm honey glow to the room, for a welcoming air. Each tile is created from a slice of Alder end grain, which reveals the distinctive rings while also offering a wonderful durability. Tile flooring is a fantastic alternative to the traditional plank flooring that inherently adds a linear pattern to the room. Tile by contrast uses symmetrical honeycomb blocks of uniform size, thus not distorting the perceived size of the room. Instead the contemporary wooden tiles add a rich geometric pattern, without the fuss and business of traditional parquet flooring. A simple pattern that enhances the natural beauty of the wood, the Broadleaf wood tile is easy to maintain and suits a broad range of contemporary interiors. Truly a floor to last a lifetime, Broadleaf wood tile floor offers a timeless lasting charm where ever fashion may take you.
