Autograph Engineered Hardwood Flooring With Japanese Inspiration

CHOOSE AUTOGRAPH HARDWOOD FLOORING WITH A NATURAL, REFINED LOOK

Renovating homes and adding new flooring to a property are some of the easiest ways to set the mood within a space, and hardwood flooring is one look that will always be in fashion. The Autograph collection is a strong choice for homeowners who want to inject character and charm into their home and are prepared to stretch the budget past laminate planks to get exactly what they know the property deserves. The range is built around multiple styles of wood grain, tones and textures rather than flat uniform colors, which makes it very useful for rooms where the flooring is the star of the show to add warmth, character, and visual interest. 

A properly laid hardwood floor sets the stage for the rest of the furniture, walls, fixtures, and furnishings in the room, and with this collection you can choose light or dark tones depending on the size, shape and position of the room within the home. With an Autograph hardwood floor, the flooring itself becomes the main design feature and doesn’t simply become a background surface. Traditional solid planks can be very expensive to install and difficult to maintain, which is why so many brands opt for engineered hardwood instead which gives a stable construction but still uses all the character of real wood. 

Timber has a natural appeal with interior projects and it is a practical way to improve the ambience of a room, and you’ll be glad you chose Autograph planks every time you walk into the space. These planks are highly versatile, and work well in main living areas and dining rooms as well as in kitchens, bedrooms, entryways and hallways. They complement a home anywhere you want the floor to feel substantial underfoot with warm tones and beautiful finishes that catch the eye. The added protection from urethane and aluminum oxide finishes to these planks keeps them looking their best for many years to come, and protects that beautiful swirling underneath with a polished design.  

MIZUNARA WOODS JAPANESE-INSPIRED WHITE OAK FLOORING

Mizunara Woods is one of the most distinctive parts of the Autograph collection and it has been built around sustainably sourced Japanese white oak, with a history of use in whiskey casks. This background gives the range a stronger visual identity than standard oak flooring planks, but the appeal is still highly practical wherever you choose to use it. It has natural grains and rich tones running through each plank, and the engineered construction makes sure it holds up well to everyday use. The larger plank width has luxurious proportions but it doesn’t make the floor feel oversized. It’s the ideal choice for use in larger living areas where the planks need to look broad and allow the grain to make more of an appearance in the floor as a whole. This range is more expressive than many oak floors, and you can take it lighter with beige tones, neutral with honey colors, or dark and dreamy with natural browns. 

INSCRIPTION ENGINEERED HARDWOOD WITH A WIDER PLANK STYLE

Made with premium white oak planks that boast a softer matter finish, the Inscription range is centered on quality craftsmanship and a natural style of plank that is broad and elegant with 7.5 and 9 inch options. Many types of hardwood flooring that have been engineered can feel overly refined and formal, but this range maintains its natural colors to let the wood itself shine through. Wider floorboards have the effect of making a space feel less busy and create a more continuous flow without the visual breaks thinner planks have. The grain is highly visible, allowing the plank material to become a feature material rather than just a flat color to fill space. This is needed in designs where the floor needs to add the depth of interest without having to rely on patterns or bold colors to hold attention. 

BEAUTIFUL HARDWOOD TRIM FOR EDGES, TRANSITIONS AND STAIRS

For every plank choice in the Autograph hardwood collection, Stone & Tile also carried the matching trim which is an important part of making the room look finished. These trim pieces cover edges around the side of the room with a quarter round and cover any leftover expansion space. At the same time they give a tidy look around the perimeter without attracting attention. T-molding and threshold trim, as well as reducer threshold trim, is useful where surfaces change height or material, for a smooth transition. These finishing touches help a room to feel more refined and deliberate, and as they are exactly the same color as the planks it really makes a difference to the final style. If you’re continuing the planks up a staircase, flush stair nose finishes add that final attention to detail that will be noticeable every time you use the stairs.
