Wood flooring: Is it durable enough for commercial use? The short answer is, “Yes absolutely”. In fact, when maintained properly, not only can wood floors last longer than most other options in commercial settings, real hardwood has numerous additional advantages as well—making it a more sustainable and economic choice. Hardwood flooring is an excellent solution for both residential and commercial, moderate-to-heavy use areas. They feel elegant and inviting, are easy to install, simple to clean, and can actually improve indoor air quality. Compared to vinyl or tile, wood flooring is more environmentally-friendly to produce and is also biodegradable; where vinyl is not. Hardwood is extremely durable and able to withstand a large amount of foot traffic. As an example, the Copenhagen Airport in Denmark has had wood flooring since the 1960s. Over fifty years on, with nearly 23 million passengers annually, they still look amazing. Even in the most demanding locations, given adequate care wood floors can last for generations.

Mid-Century Modern as a style is defined by its sharp angles and clean lines and nothing is quite as clean as our Champagne, without exception our most popular color. Centerfield Studio in Portland, Oregon chose Champagne for the floors and stairs of this wonderful example of a mid-century modern home. And thanks also to Spin Photography for the outstanding photos, that perfectly capture the color and feel of both the architecture and the flooring.
