" Normal wood floors contract and expand between planks. This floor is a clicking system
so the planks click together, really tightly. There is no glue... no smell. Brilliant idea."

 Décor Tips

Ready to shop for a new floor? Let TORLYS Décor Consultants guide you through this process.

1. Hardwood is ideal for relaxed look in casual kitchens or dining areas. The lighter-to-medium tones help create a relaxed, informal look, while the rich grain of the mid-tone Oaks adds texture.

2. Hardwood flooring is ideal in traditional settings, because it represents everything we love about the past - elegant, yet warm and inviting. Mid-to-dark wood tones reflect richness and classic elegance and complement the rich fabrics and warm lighting of a traditional room setting. 

3. Quiet woodgrains such as Maple soften the starkness of modern decor with its subtle detail.

4. Heavy Grain - texture adds great interest to relaxed, casual interiors (like oak or walnut).

5. Light Grain - the clean minimalism of some wood grains can add the soft sophistication needed for modern interiors (beech, maple, birch).
6. Light  wood tone- clean, natural wood tones lend themselves to both the simplicity of casual and the minimalism of modern.
 
7. Mid-tone - flexible to almost any decor category. Mid-tone floors can help blend a decor that has a host of different furniture wood tones. Ideally, they are best suited for casual, country settings since the décor style tends to be more relaxed and eclectic.

8. Dark - rich, deep tones will work across the board (casual, modern or traditional) depending on the effect you are looking for, however, traditional interiors really come together with the elegance of a deep floor.
