Fruitwood Flooring
Fruitwood flooring is characterised by it’s beautiful natural soft feel. It is a rare find as Fruitwood flooring is often only available from reclaimed woods or from storm-damaged trees.
Fruitwood flooring colours can include cherry or maple, and these beautiful fruitwood floors can be achieved by Amtico with none of the drawbacks of older flooring materials.
Adding under strong light has been a problem with natural fruitwood floors, but Amtico fruitwood flooring’s coatings guard against this, and in addition brings strength to these otherwise soft-looking woods.
Maple flooring is a very hard material which maked it suitable fopr dance floors and other high-traffic areas like hallways and kitchens. It is also used in the flooring for bowling alleys!
Lighter coloured flooring can be achieved with Sapwoods, the younger part of the tree. Amtico sapwood flooring overcomes the problems of shrinking and softness which usually companies sapwood flooring materials.
The rarest fruitwood flooring is from cherry trees which can live for up to 200 years, and grow very slowly, but is also a hard material with beautiful grain effects.
