Wood-graining technique
used to create exotic wood floor species..........
Inlay is the art of placing various
flooring and other materials of nature into a floor to form borders or
patterns or designs. Faux inlay is the creation and reproduction of
those materials normally used in floor inlay ie: marble, stone,
woodgraining, or just simple colors, all to form patterns and designs,
all hand painted to fool the eye. This includes variations of marquetry
& parquetry both of which are forms of arranging wood pieces and
strips into a geometric pattern and/or design. The products of nature
that are usually used include tortoise shell, ivory, mother of pearl,
bone, brass, gold & other materials suitable for floor installation,
All of which can be faux painted to simulate the real material. Thus a
custom one-of-a kind, design & pattern can be achieved using various
exotic wood grains, marbles, inlay pattern designs. The floor is then
protected with several coats of a urethane floor finish.
