Why Symphony Hardwood?

Nothing adds warmth to a room like the soft gleam of a polished wooden

floor. The beauty of solid wood is in its character, depth and individuality.

Just as every tree matures with age, so does the wooden flooring, subtly changing

over time, taking on a rich patina; a definite character of its own.

Today, wooden flooring has truly arrived. And we have taken the concept of wooden flooring to new heights, taking the beauty of wooden flooring beyond the physical attributes associated with the traditional flooring.

With the largest range of hardwood floors, available in a myriad of colors and styles, our new technologies have created wooden flooring that can go where wood was never used before, sizes that fit in almost any area.

We have absorbed the very essence of hardwood, its beautiful gradations and

variations of grain texture and color. Cut and pieced woods in different

colors and varieties have been used to create subtle and striking patterns

in floors; creating a canvas with a life of its own, an essence, truly

distinctive!

As one of the world's most versatile floor coverings, hardwood flooring has withstood the test of time. There is simply no other flooring material that offers the same splendor and durability as natural wood.

Strong, yet warm, sophisticated, yet sturdy, our hardwood flooring blends in

beautifully in modern as well as traditional settings harmonizing with

almost all other materials to create a unique symphony.

Teak is harder and durable. Teak is all weather wood and long lasting. Resistant to fungal decay and natural insect repellent, specially termites and other wood boring insects. Teak flooring is best used where weather resistant timber is desired. Teak is one of the most valuable woods because it does not cause rust or corrosion. A preferred hardwood floorings.

Bamboo

Bamboo f l oo r s a re manufactured from the bamboo plant. The majority of today ’s b a m b o o f l o o r i n g products originate in Asia. The species of Bamboo used for flooring is commonly known as “Moso”. Known for it’s resistance to insects and m o i s t u re .

Oak

Colorful, beautiful, ornamental hard wood. It is best suited for b e a u t i f u l l o o k i n g flooring. The wood is hard and heavy with g o o d s t r e n g t h properties, in particular its high resistance to abrasion and wear. The wood has a close fine, uniform texture and is genera l l y s t ra ight-grained.

A symbol of strength and endurance. The Latin name for oak, Quercus, means 'a fine tree.' The wood is hard and heavy, with medium bending strength and stiffness and h i gh c rush ing strength. Great wear-resistance. White oak is mostly straight-grained with a medium to coarse texture, with longer rays.

I.P.E

It is one of the earth's most dense tropical h a r d w o o d s w i t h excellent durability and pe r fo rmance . I t i s naturally resistant to fire, insects, moisture and movement. It remains smooth and splinter free. It will not absorb water, twist, splinter, or bow like softer wood. Resistance to decay, termites, and borers. Besides the interior flooring it is perfect for exterior floorings like balcony, veranda as well.

Walnuts are important for their attract ive timber, which is hard, dense and tight-grained and polishes to a very smooth finish. The wood is generally straight-grained, but sometimes with wavy or curly grain that produces attractive and decorative floorings.

Engineered wood flooring is a great innovation in modern flooring. An engineered

hardwood floor is comprised of several layers; the top layer is real hardwood, which

means the floor you stand on is the same genuine hardwood you always dreamed of

owning. Other layers in an engineered hardwood floor are made of cross

construction plywood, the engineered hardwood resists the tendency of solid

hardwood to expand and contract with changes in humidity and temperature.

Engineered flooring is an excellent choice for geographical areas with higher

humidity or moisture levels.
