Curated sample boards
Delivered to your studio in formats that actually present well to clients — not loose chips in a bag.
A specification partner who speaks your language.
We work with interior designers and architects across the Lower Mainland and Whistler on residential and boutique commercial projects. Specification support, sample programs, site mock-ups, and Lunch & Learn sessions — built around your process, not ours.
How we help you specify with confidence
On-site mock-ups
First-three-rows installed mock-ups for grain, length, and colour variation before the rest of the floor ships.
Custom staining
Unlimited stain matching on white oak, ash, and most domestic species via our Loba and Duraseal partnerships.
Spec sheets & finish data
Cut sheets, finish system data, sub-floor and acclimation requirements — everything your set needs to be complete.
Pattern floors
Herringbone, chevron, Versailles parquet — specification, supply, and install handled end-to-end.
Direct line
You talk to Aaron, our president, on every project. No relay through a junior estimator.
