It is understood that the client’s personal taste always has the last word, it is still worth trying to say a few words on when to go for the installation of a large planks wooden floor. The characteristics of the environment are very important, when it comes to lay the floor. Big rooms are the natural place to install a large plakns wooden floor: large open-spaces, villas or lofts of large sizes, museums, cellars, hotels and places dedicated to hospitality in general.There is no contraindications when it comes to install it in small apartments or normal areas but, it is quite simple to guess that the necessary cuts will reduce and affect the peculiarity of this type of floor: the full length of the boards as well as the original grain of the trunk . As far as the type of processing and finishing is concerned, however, much depends on the style to be obtained: we often define details directly with architects and interior designers, who are responsible for the projects. Always recommended - in order not to lose the material atmosphere created by the wood itself - is the oil finishing, because of it is always a touch to emphasize the warm and lively appearance of the parquet. For large planks floors, we prefer to use transparent oils, but we also work on color gradients, along with the needs of the project and with techniques that always respect the naturalness of wood.
