“The floor looks beautiful.  Everyone who has seen it has raved about it, and I expect it will look even better once I install the trim and repaint the walls.  Even the installers commented on what a great product it is.”

During my recent visit to Brazil I found many interesting opportunities.  One of them was the plantation teak I had  mentioned earlier in the summertime.  The plantation is highly impressive and shows what can be done and how quickly these plantations mature.  I also found some other very interesting species which had been planted some years ago in Brazil as a test and out of curiousity, such as Khaya Ivorensis or commonly referred to as “African Mahogany.”

The future is bright and we are on our way.

Industry standards allow for 5-7% waste in cuttings and defects.  Measuring Rooms for Hardwood Flooring unless you have odd angled rooms or off grade material, this should provide enough material.  If you want to have extra wood in case of damage or plank replacement it is a good idea to purchase an extra box so that you know the finishes match and the profile matches.

If you are buying first quality material which is well manufactured and graded, you simply do not need to order excessive volumes of material.  The exception to this rule would be unless you are going to do a lot of further hand selection prior to installation.
