Flooring - Achieving Aging Effects - Vintage Finished Flooring
toolbox, flooring, composite flooring
Flooring that adds depth of time to space, with a flavor reminiscent of many years passed. Its charm lies in the fact that it actually undergoes aging as it is used.
★Loved Across Eras When I saw this completed flooring, my heart danced. What toolbox wanted to achieve was not just a momentary expression, but flooring that could become "real vintage." Using genuine materials and pursuing essence, the simple design does not become tiresome even after long use, and its charm deepens the more it is used. Things that have gone through time continue to radiate their allure, regardless of changing eras. It has a flavor that seems to be imprinted with the passage of time, and its depth increases with use. Thus, a long-lasting flooring has been created. ★In Search of "Deep Flavor" Even when trying to obtain reclaimed wood, encounters with well-preserved materials are rare. Since they are not originally processed for flooring, care must be taken as the boards may warp, gaps may appear when laid out, and they may not be suitable for barefoot use, making it difficult to commit to their use without a decisive mindset. On the other hand, there are also flooring options that are "reclaimed wood style" or "antique style" made from new materials, but they often undergo excessive processing, making it very challenging to find flooring that strikes the right balance. *Continues in the "Basic Information" section below↓

★For Those Who Can't Wait for Aging The key point of this flooring is the scratch processing that is conscious of the saw marks known as "nokome." Instead of a board finished smoothly with a planer, it aims for the appearance of a rough-cut board as if it has been used for many years, taken directly from a log. Additionally, the painting is done by hand on each piece, allowing time to be infused into the finish, resulting in a depth that is clearly different from machine-applied finishes. The effort put into creating the nokome and the painting is meant to produce a "deep flavor," but it serves more than just that. It also becomes a "trigger" for the flooring to grow even richer in character once life begins on it. The photo at the top of this page shows the state of the floor after being oiled over two days each year for three years. In just three years, it transforms into a floor that looks as if it has been used for many years. This is because the presence of the nokome accelerates the aging process compared to smooth flooring. It evolves into a truly used and authentic-looking flooring.

★Creating a Vintage Space I love old furniture and miscellaneous goods, but they tend to feel out of place in a space made of sleek, shiny materials... "Vintage-processed flooring" is a material I would definitely recommend for such situations. I hope you enjoy the process of adding character over time and savoring the moments spent together. This flooring is highly recommended for renovations.
