The job

How it went.

The measure

We scan the home with LiDAR and draw an exact floorplan, so the timber ordered matches the rooms, not a guess.

The mockups

Digital mockups built over our own first-visit photos showed Natural Clear in place before the client committed to anything.

The timeline

One day, one dedicated herringbone installer. The floor is walkable again two to three hours after it goes down, and prefinished boards need no sanding, so the furniture came back the same evening.

The result

An early start, a quiet day and no surprises. As smooth as this work gets. Once the furniture was back in, the client left us a five star review.

The floor

What we laid.

Herringbone in Natural Clear, the collection’s most natural-looking board.
