BEAUTIFUL WOODS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

Chris at NWFA exhibitionAt the annual National Wood Flooring Association convention, we take the opportunity to familiarize ourselves with new products, products that have been approved by the NWFA for quality. Wood manufacturers from all over the world attend these conventions, allowing us access to some of the most unusual and beautiful woods from all points of the globe. We are always amazed at the palette of available colors and tones!

Dealers show many woods from the United States, termed "domestic" woods, as well as "exotic" woods from every continent. Different growing conditions in these parts of the world result in woods that have a wonderful variety of color, grain pattern and other unique characteristics.

Our showroom, open by appointment, reflects our many years of combing the world market for the most beautiful and unique wood floors that Mother Nature has created. You may be assured that the products there are durable, long-lasting and carry great value for the price.

NEW DURABLE FINISH PRODUCTS

We stay on the alert for new, more durable finishes, paying special attention to products formulated to be earth-friendly. We recommend the use of Bona Kemi products and Through the Woods was chosen and specially trained by them as Bona Certified Craftsmen.

We were introduced to oil finishes at an NWFA convention. These finishes, popular in Europe are durable and family friendly. Some of them are even no-VOC. By attending the convention, we can meet with manufacturers representatives, see the new products and learn how they should be applied.

One of our specialties at Through the Woods is custom staining. Stain products are constantly being created in beautiful new colors and formulations which contribute to the evenness tone.

Very dark floors are currently in vogue. Getting a smooth, even color can be a challenge. Using state-of-the art stains we can ensure you that your dark stained floor will be beautiful and long-lasting. Every year, there is something new and exciting presented in wood floor finishes.
