Living in modern society as we do, many people are now choosing natural materials over man made to furnish their homes, to either be friendlier to the environment by using natural but sustainable sources or they need to combat aggrivating allergens such as dust.  Floorwork can source you carpets produced from Sisal, Seagrass and Jute which all have advantages that equal or excel where man made materials fail.

SISAL

Originally used to create strong and resilient twine, we use this stunning material to create graceful and exotic floor coverings. Sourced from Brazil, China and Southern Tanzania, the Sisal plant is one of nature’s true survivors – evolved to thrive in a punishing climate with little rainfall in summer. Once stripped and dried for 30 days it is ready to be crafted into the treasured floorcovering fit to grace your home.

SEAGRASS

Arguably our sturdiest material, this hardy grass has to withstand all sorts of abuse to be worthy enough to grace your home. Sourced from Vietnamese and Chinese plantations, this hardy grass has to withstand copious amounts of ocean salt, raging typhoons and the heat of the Far Eastern sun before being woven into our signature styles of Original, Herringbone and Basketweave in both Normal and Fine weaves.

JUTE

The Mahanadi Belt monsoon season sees an explosion of healthy, green Jute stems, made tougher by the fertile, coastal waters. One it has been ret (immersed into slow-running water) and stripped, the fibres are ready to be weaved into our collection of gorgeous, classic designs that date back to the Nineteenth Century.

During April 2017, Floorwork visited Preston Village Hall in Weymouth, Dorset to revitalise all of its floors throughout the building. One of the areas to undertake was a tired and well used wood block floor. The blocks were in reasonable condition and still firmly adhered to the subfloor, altho the surface was heavily scratched and gouging by many years of chairs and shoe scuffing. After 2 weeks of Floorwork’s TLC our clients were absolutely astounded by the transformation.

Engineered wood flooring is the modern equivalent  too solid wood flooring.  It can adhered to subfloor, secret nailed as solid wood flooring or even floated like laminate products.  A structural board with a  real wood vaneer designed withstand localised environmental changes atmosphere moisture and temperature fluctuations  which are known causes for solid wood to fail causing expansion and shrinkage problems.  Some engineered wood products are designed with underfloor heating in mind.

Engineered wood flooring has less preparational processes involved than those associated with solid wood flooring,  saving on material costs, duration of the installation therefore the labor charge, but still has the same practicalities and great look as the real thing.
