 | You’ve decided to get new flooring for your home, maybe just a room. You want it to be different, maybe even exotic. You’ve narrowed down your choice to a hardwood that is “hand-scraped”…you love the look. It’s distinctive, unique…it’s “you.” If you are thinking “hand-scraped” it’s important to know that all hand-scraped floors are not created equal. First and foremost, make sure the flooring is really hand-scraped and not machine distressed or sculpted. Unique scraping patterns are key. Look for repetitive patterns which detract from the authentic timeless character and appearance of the floor. |
Also, be sure to compare the level or depth of the flooring’s sculpted surfaces which varies among several manufacturers. Choose a level of scraping that matches your taste. An overly sculpted floor may look good on a showroom sample but overpowering in your home.
Hand-scraped flooring can be at home in virtually any décor. Traditional and rustic environments are an obvious match. However, hand-sculpted floors are equally suited to eclectic or modern settings for they create an exceptional design contrast, too.
A wide variety of color choices are available. Typically, darker colors will accentuate the visual drama of the hand-scraping. If you are working with exotic flooring, some species, like Brazilian Cherry, will darken over time with exposure to light. The process enhances the natural hues and hand-sculpted surfaces of the floor.
If you are looking for a truly custom flooring presentation, hand-sculpted floors may be just the ticket. While you are at it, be sure to check out the new exotic hand-scraped offerings. Unique grain and color variation coupled with authentic hand-scraping makes exotic hardwood distinctive, original and guaranteed to be a conversation point in your home.
Best of all… you can find them today in your local flooring retailer’s showroom.
