Shadow Mountain Walnut Flooring

How do you add warmth, texture and balance to a modern home rife with architectural angles and contemporary metal and concrete work? You set it all against a backdrop of rich Walnut flooring. 

PC Development, working with Gary Barrus of Signature Floors, chose this 6”, 7”, 8” and 9” plank Walnut floor to bring all the elements of the Great Room and Dining Room together.

Barrus thinks they made a canny flooring choice. “This floor provides a base from which the concrete and iron fireplace emerges naturally. It’s got a great organic feel.”

Opting for an oil finish over polyurethane means greater depth to the hardwood and provides a look of instant age. As more oil is periodically buffed into the surface of the floors (standard maintenance for oil finishes) the floor develops a beautiful patina that becomes richer over the years. “Oil finishes,” Gary observes “when maintained properly, don’t wear out; they wear in and become better and better with time.”

The home is located on Old Ranch Road just off the main highway leading into Park City proper. The metal, glass, stone and wood elements blend seamlessly with the arcadian setting.

Wire-Brushed Wide Plank Oak

This beautiful wide-plank, long-length white oak floor was textured (including wire-brushing), colored and finished by Richard Marshall.  A reactive stain was used in the coloring process, which reacts with the naturally-occurring tannins in the wood to create a weathered/reclaimed look.  Unlike traditional grey stains which rely on solid pigments, there is no "whitewash" bleed or blotchiness to this coloring process.  Every tree has a unique tannin content, allowing for natural color variations throughout the floor.  The end result is an organic, modern take on a rustic floor in this stunning Deer Valley home.

Wide-Plank Oak

This classic oil-finished white oak floor from Richard Marshall would stand as a gorgeous center feature by itself, but what really makes this project special is the floating staircase.  White oak is a forgiving canvas when it comes to color and texture options; the slightly golden tone accentuates the natural warmth of the species.  Contrasting the timeless look of wide-plank oak with modern lines and the decidedly contemporary staircase makes this project a standout by any measure.

Whitney - Park City, Utah

This wide-plank, rift- and quarter-sawn Richard Marshall white oak floor in Deer Valley is mountain elegance defined.  Subtle hand-scraping provides a worn-in feel, and spectacular flecking is present throughout.

Rift and Quartered Oak Refurbish

Salt Lake City's Avenues and Sugar House neighborhoods feature some of Utah's oldest homes, the vast majority of which still showcase their original design details.  In nearly all of these homes, the original flooring was 2" wide, rift and quartersawn oak. This method of milling oak is less commonly used in flooring today, as it demands a higher price tag over its traditionally cathedral-grained counterpart.

In addition to being harder than plain-sawn oak, the rift and quartered cut is the only way to see the amazing figuring (sometimes called "flecking") that can occur within oak lumber.  As you can see in these images, old-growth oak features an astounding amount and depth of figuring, lending an immediate air of fine craftsmanship, exclusivity and dignity to the flooring industry's most commonly used species of hardwood.

Mountain Home. Flaming Gorge, Utah.

Australian Cypress makes for a visually delightful floor.  Cypress resists decay and termites detest the heartwood.  This species also emits a beautiful aroma when planed or sawn.  Pre-harvest, the cypress-pine plays well with others and is often found hobnobbing with eucalypts and angorphoras in western New South Wales.  The floor pictured has been repaired after a flood in the home and was refinished with a neutral stain and a low sheen Traffic finish.  Better than new!  Photos: Mike Price

Jespersen: American Cherry Parquet

Ensign Downs Santos Mahogany

There are many reasons to select a Santos mahogany floor.  The species of wood is very durable to decay resistance.  It's priced reasonably for an imported hardwood.  It's significantly harder than most domestic species.  It's typically available without too much delay and is a sustainably-sourced timber.

But the best reason to install a Santos floor in your home is its beauty.  Santos is not generally offered in multiple cuts like oak or American cherry; every cut of wood is generally available in a given bundle of flooring.  This means a wide range of grain patterns and color will be present in the floor, yet the variation does not result in a "busy" or distracting floor.

There's a reason Santos mahogany is the imported wood of choice for board rooms, attorneys, upscale bars and guitar makers alike--it's beautiful.
