Stewartfloor, a direct importer of solid South American prefinished wood flooring is proud to announce our new collection of flooring, atelier. Atelier means a workshop or studio used by an artist or designer, atelier is the culmination of a dream based on years of experience and expertise in tropical hardwoods and the focus on natural surfaces and materials.

The matte finish of the surface of stewartfloor atelier products accentuates the original and natural character of these fine species. Atelier combines all the advantages of the “standard” aluminum oxide finished flooring with the visual expression of an old world oil finish without the maintenance.

Atelier provides the visual interest of a slightly brushed texture due to its open pore finish which allows the floor to radiate the vitality of an old world oil finish and the additional benefit of showing less wear over time. Atelier combines all the advantages of a highly resistant, easy care aluminum oxide finish with the unmatched visual depth of a natural matte oil surface finish. Another major advantage is very little light reflectivity which also brings out the natural grain better than other finishes.

This collection embodies our work over the last 13 years specializing in tropical wood from South America. It is our sincere belief that these species are truly unique and special, atelier is the embodiment of our pursuit of passion and to offer the perfect floor.

Our customer Mr. Christoffersen of Carol Stream, IL said it best, when he commented on his stewartfloor atelier 3/4″ x 3-1/4″ Brazilian Teak/Cumaru flooring, “Let me just say-WE LOVE IT! When you said it was clear/premium grade, how true, and the finish is perfect. Even the installers said they had no issues whatsoever.”

Please call or have your designer, architect or builder contact stewartfloor today at 866-780-7839 ext. 5. Discover stewartfloor atelier collection for yourself, you’ll agree it’s classically Modern wood flooring.

If you are looking for a solid wood floor, don’t wait! Unlike other commodities, wood is susceptible to shortages and this is definitely the case in the solid wood flooring supply today. Whether it be Red Oak or White Oak or the exotic woods we sell here at stewartfloor. For us the supply is very challenging due to the current conditions in South America due to the rainy season being at its most difficult. This affects greatly the ability to remove logs from the forest and for our flooring manufacturers to keep supplies of raw materials. Although it may seem that purchasing a wood floor is no different than going the supermarket and choosing your favorite items, it is in fact, very much different. Supply of product and availability of width and species can vary greatly throughout the year and for various reasons.
