The characteristics of our wood
Our wide selection of grades, colours, finishes and textures will help you create a vibrant, one-of-a-kind environment. Explore all of our customization options to find the combination that best suits your needs.
Our grades
The look of your floor depends on the grade you select. For example, it determines the plank length, colour variations and the presence of knots. Choose from our three grades to find the one that best suits the style of decor you dream of.
Harmony
Harmony offers a grade of wood with more variations – an option that’s sure to please. The knots are the only natural aspect preserved in this grade, leaving you the leeway to create beautiful harmony between your floor and your more contemporary decor.
Nuance
The Nuance grade is your choice for a naturally rich decor that is both warm and authentic. This grade offers floors in colours that range from pale (sapwood) to dark (heartwood).
Our colours
We’ve developed a multitude of shades to offer you the floor colour of your dreams. Discover our range of colours and choose the one that best suits your decor.
The hardness of our species
In order to offer you a superior quality product, all our species are given the Janka test to determine the hardness of the wood and assess its resistance to penetration.
Le test de Janka mesure le poids nécessaire en livres pour enfoncer une bille d’acier de 0,44 po dans le bois.

Our textures
Our floors are produced with a brushed or smooth texture.
Brushed
The brushed texture reveals more contrast and hides the wear marks on your floor. It’s created using a wire brush that opens the grain of the wood. The use of this brush leaves delicate marks on the upper layer of the board to give it a beautiful, natural effect.
Smooth
Treat yourself to the elegance of wood in its pure state. For smooth flooring, no texture is added to the finished product. This is quite simply natural wood. Smooth textured floor is harmonious, sophisticated and classic.
