Services
Bamboo Flooring
Our bamboo flooring uses Moso bamboo harvested after a minimum 5-year growth cycle, ensuring strength and durability. Available in vertical, horizontal, and strand-woven options, these floors offer low color variation and custom finishes with UV protection and scratch-resistant coatings. Ideal for homeowners seeking sustainable, hardwood-like aesthetics with enhanced environmental benefits.
Luxury Vinyl Tile
Hawaiian Style LVT combines wood-like elegance with resilient durability. Featuring a drop-lock click system and attached sound-absorbing pad, our LVT options provide quick installation and noise reduction. Designed for high-traffic areas, these waterproof tiles mimic natural textures while offering easy maintenance for residential and commercial spaces.
Engineered Wood Flooring
Sourced responsibly from global forests, our engineered wood flooring balances stability and exotic aesthetics. Each plank uses fewer rare wood species while maintaining the classic grain patterns of solid hardwood. Available in exotic options like acacia, cumaru, and jatoba, these floors suit diverse interior designs with enhanced moisture resistance.
Strand Woven Bamboo
Strand woven bamboo flooring features carbonized and natural tones with wire-scraped textures for modern appeal. This high-density option exceeds traditional bamboo in hardness, making it ideal for active households. Special-order wide planks and custom finishes cater to unique design preferences while maintaining eco-conscious production standards.
Cork Flooring
Napacork flooring offers a renewable, biodegradable option with natural thermal and acoustic insulation. Harvested from cork oak bark without harming trees, this material provides comfort underfoot and hypoallergenic properties. Available in 1/2" and 1/4" underlayment options, it supports healthy indoor environments while reducing environmental impact.
