Coralwood floor from start to finish



Coralwood, a beautiful reclaimed parquet block which we currently have for sale. This floor has been beautifully laid by Sebastian Cox and his team last month in London. Here are the photos showing the progress of the work:

As you can see from the photos a lot of work goes into laying a reclaimed parquet floor, and it requires a lot of faith from the customer! When the blocks arrive, it can be a bit disconcerting, to see a stack of blocks, unsanded and grubby. However there is a process and the results are well worth it.

Thanks to Dougie for the photos, taken by him as the work went along, we hope to get some more glamorous Coralwood pics soon. Fab job!
