The Collection | Vintage Millworks
Inspired by: Jahaziel Minor
A Fusion of Elegance and Detail
There's a timelessness to it. Both form and proportion are just right. As the eye wanders across the floor, it just feels right, it feels good. Finally a floor as extraordinary as the fine furniture it upholds. Each plank of Vintage Millworks is hand contoured, unique in its own way. Vintage Millworks, created using gentle sculpt carving, provides exquisite detail. Mild cantered and hand carved edges provide graceful texture to the finest decors.
Vintage Millworks features two handscraping techniques.
The Finger Lathe hand distressing technique is featured on the following colors: Bezel Maple, Grapa Maple, Cappuccino Maple, Nougat Maple.
The Zipper Punch hand distressing technique is featured on the following colors: Venezia Maple, Sicily Maple, Firenza Maple.
A genuine handrubbed translucent surface stain is applied. Translucent stains allow the real wood grain greater expression. The final touch, a soft low luster finish mimics European old world oiled plank floors. An 11-step 7 coats German Treffert brand Aluminum Oxide finish process provides exceptional abrasion resistance and durability with No-Wax low maintenance cleaning for everyday life.

Frequently Asked Questions on the Vintage Millworks Handscraped Flooring.
Q. How many times can this floor be sanded and refinished?
A. The amount of sandings depends on how much wood is taken off each time. A general rule for an engineered floor is 2 sandings. Very likely this floor will never need to be sanded in its lifetime.
Q. Is Vintage Millwork a floating floor?
A. Yes, Vintage Millwork is a floating floor. It can be nailed and glued down as well.
Q. What is "soft sculpt"?
A. Soft sculpt is a less aggressive form of handscraping used in the creation of Vintage Millwork. The soft sculpt styling gives the floor slightly cantered edges and a softer rolling surface. Soft sculpt provides the beauty and depth of a handscraped texture with moderate to minimal surface distressing.
