Although the trend is towards glossy finishes for most floor coverings, it is the matte finish that is popular these days when it comes to hardwood.
Increasingly concerned about ecology and the health of the planet, consumers are now looking for floors with a rustic and natural look. Gone are the days of turning up our noses at knots and imperfections: people now want the authentic, the real thing. The supply of products without VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and FSC cutting ensuring the reforestation of our forests are growing, with manufacturers keen to meet consumer demands.
In terms of colors, white, shades of gray and gray-brown are gaining ground. The very trendy bleached wood look is making a notable comeback.
At Emard Couvre-Planchers, we offer you all the latest trends with more than 2800 choices of hardwood floors . Come visit our showroom!
