May 2010

Looking forward to the first Bank Holiday of May? Another long weekend, almost exactly one month after Easter Monday. Times does seem to fly! Talking about flying, we hope you weren't caught up in the travel disruption lately.

And as a Bank holiday special we've created a voucher for you: just follow this link to our special voucher page where you can print the maintenance product combi-offer we have for you.

Why not add some vibrance to your home or office with one of these very special floors?

Demand for aged wooden floors - be it aged colours or aged/battered appearance - appears to be at an all time high this year. Most requests come from those looking to add more authenticity to their homes in keeping with the period it was built in. Most period properties do become more adorable (= more valuable!) when you fill it with authentic materials, from ceiling roses to old patinas on the floor.

We've now extended our range of Aged flooring with 8 more large sample boards:

* 5 exciting Grigio load-bearing Oak rustic Wood-Engineered boards - where the Oak has been treated with rediscovered artists pigment oils in greyish tones

Read more about this unique range on our FAQ & News site. This floor even comes with its own Certificate of Authenticity!

# 3 ProjectPlank Mammoet Aged and Distressed Russian and European Oak Rustic, either "plane" or smoked with natural or coloured HardWaxOil as finish layer. The beauty of the colours used is they can be colour-coordinated with other floor-types in our ranges (for instances the "Siberia" is available in the EcoPlank, Triplank, Duoplank and ProjectPlank)

Both types of authenticity bringing wooden floors are included in the Full Colour online Wooden Floor Ranges Brochures, if you don't have access to this latest addition of Wood You Like's (ever growing) website let us know and we'll email you the access details straight away. The online brochures are filled with large high resolution images and where possible the floor can be seen installed in various interior designs. Plus you can find all Technical Specifications and much more in there.

Add authenticity to your own property with easy to maintain new floorboards (so absolutely no hassle with residue bitumen as you often have with reclaimed boards!). Drop by our showroom to see these 8 new wonderful additions for yourself and decide which one will suit your period property best.
And on the other hand - old patinas will bring allure to the most modern building too!

Book news: after the official launch on 19 March steadily more and more feedback on the Wooden Floor Installation Manual is coming in. The paperback even received its first (5 star!) rating on Amazon.co.uk and was featured in one of their daily promotional emails (see snapshot of the email on our Facebook Page).

Chaco Commercial and Vertical Parquet - another FSC addition to our Design Parquet Range. 14 or 22mm thick unfinished parquet, very hard wearing and highly suitable for commercial premises - or of course in your own home. You can read more about this unique design floor on our FAQ & News blog, but here's a small preview of what to expect.

And of course you can find more images and details in the full colour online Wooden Floor Range Brochures.

Annual Jazz break: it's that time of the year again: our showroom will be closed for 4 days when we're off to the annual Jazz weekend in our home town (Bergen op Zoom, The Netherlands - worth a visit, even when you're not into Jazz yourself).
