Woodland FineLine™ Collection: The Perfect Alternative to Bamboo Flooring
Thursday, April 14th, 2011Q: I love the look of bamboo floors, but I’d rather have a hardwood floor. Is there a solution?
A. The Woodland FineLine™ Collection is a perfect choice for anyone who seeks the look of bamboo-like flooring but wants a floor made of hardwood. The sleek, vertical patterns of the wood grain mimic the same attractive linear lines of the bamboo branch.
Q. What gives the Woodland FineLine™ hardwood flooring collection that distinct linear look?
A. The signature linear patterns of Woodland FineLine™ come actually come from the process by which the floorboards are manufactured. The floorboards utilize the fall-off material from production of other hardwood flooring product lines. Joining what was previously unusable material, Woodland FineLine™ takes hundreds of strips of 1/8” wood from all different kinds of wood species, and crafts them together in a random pattern. The result is a distinct and attractive linear pattern—the Woodland FineLine™ Collection.
Q. Is the Woodland FineLine™ environmentally friendly?
A. Yes. The production of the Woodland FineLine™ Collection, by recycling and utilizing fall-off material from the production of other hardwood flooring products, speaks volumes of its sustainability. Most Woodland FineLine™ Collection products are also available with FSC Certification.
Q. What colors does the Woodland FineLine™ collection come in?
A. Woodland FineLine™ Collection comes in the following wood species: Cherry Loc, White Oak Loc, Black Ash, Doussie Loc, Dark, Sky Loc, Light, Maple Loc, Kempas, Coffee Loc, Walnut Lo, Black Oak Loc, Beech Loc and Merbau Loc. The Beech, Black Oak, Coffee, Doussie, Merbau, Sky and White Oak utilize only a single wood species and have a more uniform color throughout their floorboards, whereas the rest utilize different species to create a multitude of patterns. The choice is up to you—each species has its own unique and beautiful look.

Be Aware of Liquids: Wood is a living substance that reacts accordingly to its environment; a presence of moisture will cause wood to expand, while drier climates will cause wood to contract. Be especially careful of spilling liquids on your floors! Hardwood flooring will absorb liquid, which can cause your floors to rot or buckle over time. Some hardwood floors have water-resistant finishes, but liquids can still seep through the cracks. Remember to soak up any spilled liquids immediately.
