For hundreds of years prior to the Industrial Age, evenly-surfaced and polished hardwood flooring was a rare luxury. Prior to the advent of planers and sanders, hardwood floors were installed fresh from the sawmill, leaving visible saw blade marks (kerfs). Our circular-sawn floors are likely smoother than were those installed in the early Victorian era, since our floors are run through a sander to smooth away splintering. The kerf marks in a circular-sawn floorboard stain darker than the rest of the board, highlighting the much-desired individual character.

Wire-brushed hardwood flooring is a type of textured hardwood that is becoming increasingly popular for its great looks and ability to hide dirt and scratches. This makes this the ideal type of hardwood flooring for those with children and dogs. Wire brushed flooring is produced by scouring the plank with a stiff wire brush. The softer particles are scoured away, leaving a pattern of shallow grooves following the natural grain of the wood. If you would like this beautiful oak flooring for your residential or commercial property, contact StoryBook Floors today. We are proud to offer our handcrafted surfaces to clients throughout the United States.

The oldest pattern of parquet was developed to mimic brick, which was common on church floors in 16th century France. The oldest known herringbone floor is from 1539. Like all parquetry, chevron and herringbone require precision in mill and miter work. It takes thousands of pieces precisely cut to make up a herringbone floor.

Contour-sanded distress is subtle and does not easily show in a photograph; when felt by hand or foot it is smooth, but irregular, most resembling the gentle undulations of ocean water on a calm day. This is a replication of the floors found in the cathedrals of Europe, worn unevenly smooth by centuries of foot traffic. At StoryBook Floors, we can craft and sand this type of flooring for a building of any size from Chicago, IL to Boston, MA and everywhere in between. Call us today to schedule an appointment.

Herringbone and chevron flooring are a type of flooring categorized under parquet. Parquet flooring is composed of wooden blocks in a geometric pattern. A common question we get is "what is the difference between herringbone and chevron?" The answer is that the difference is in the zigzag design. Herringbone has a broken zigzag design where chevron has a continuous zigzag design. Herringbone pieces are cut in rectangles, where as chevron pieces are cut at an angle. If you take a look below at our work, you will see the difference in the hardwood flooring.
