Because Being the Best isn’t Enough

On their pursuit toward perfection, Legno Bastone has culminated one of the finest collections of hardwood flooring the world has ever experienced. Renowned for wider widths and longer lengths, the Legno Bastone hardwood plank is a signature piece representing the merger of old-world traditions and modern-day technologies.

Founded in the late 1800s, this worldwide flooring manufacturer has remained family owned, now in its fifth-generation run by the Bastone family. Throughout three centuries, Legno Bastone has never once abandoned its age-old European traditions and craftsmanship, providing custom-tailored designs for architects, designers, and more. They approach each project as they did in the 1800s – one board at a time, one project at a time.

Flooring to Fit Castles and Homes

Because of Legno Bastone’s unique approach to customization and personalized flooring, they’ve been able to amass a vast line of hardwood options that is well suited for nearly any and every project, from castles to urban apartments or country homes.

Behind Every Work of Art is the Canvas

Artists have their canvas. Flooring manufacturers have their wood. Legno Bastone takes great care in choosing the wood that becomes their custom wood flooring. The wood they choose comes from the finest forests in all of Europe. The trees selected have been nurtured for generations, thus adhering toward Legno’s mission to minimally impact the environment.
The Bastone family has always been uncompromising with their demands regarding grains, knots, and structure. Only the finest logs are used to produce their masterpieces.

No One Finishes Quite Like Legno Bastone

As unique and breathtaking as their wide and long planks are, Legno Bastone is also revered for its unparalleled finishes, which help to evoke the essence of nature and style into any space. Their Tudor finishing process captures and pays homage to a European tradition long forgotten by others. Legno Bastone craftsmen apply indirect heat – by hand – to the wood, changing the graining of each board. This creates a natural, more resilient surface, and a grain as unique to each plank as a fingerprint is to each hand. No machine has ever, or can ever, duplicate the Tudor finishing process performed by Legno Bastone artisans. It is their attention to detail and commitment to personalized design that put them in a class of their own.

Don’t Wait to Get the Flooring You’ve Dreamed of

Unlike other types of mass-produced floors that you’re forced to compromise or settle with, Legno Bastone’s flooring is completely customized to every customer’s needs. As such, it takes anywhere from 8 to 12 weeks for your floors to be manufactured. However, Legno does have 8 products stocked and ready to ship in the United States.
Come into our showroom today to see our collection of Legno Bastone floors, and discover why they remain one of the most talked about and revered flooring manufacturers in the world.

But that’s not the case with Chinese-made laminate flooring sold by Lumber Liquidators, as has been made known to the pubic thanks to a recent 60 Minutes report. With testing proving that some of its laminate flooring contained 20 times the level allowed to be sold in the state of California, Lumber Liquidators was illegally selling flooring that the state of California deemed dangerous. These levels were so high, in fact, that lab technicians questioned whether their machines were acting faulty.

They weren’t. The laminate from Lumber Liquidators really did (and does) contain that much formaldehyde.

It’s not just a California problem

California has a CARB2 standard that prohibits the sale of flooring containing a certain (and dangerous) level of formaldehyde. But that standard will soon be enacted on a national scale, once Congress enacts their Formaldehyde Standards Act later this year (which was modeled after CARB2).

Its existing CARB2 law is what helped bring to light this toxic issue with Lumber Liquidators, but as 60 Minutes discovered, the problem doesn’t just reside in the Golden State. Thirty-one boxes of Lumber Liquidators Chinese-made laminate flooring were purchased from stores in Florida, New York, Illinois, Texas and Virginia. Of the 31 tested for formaldehyde, only one was compliant with CARB2 standards, meaning the other 30 contained flooring that could be harmful to your health.

Thirty-one boxes may not seem like a lot, but consider how widespread Lumber Liquidators is: 360 stores in 46 states, with sales that exceed $1 billion. Hundreds of thousands of homes in the country contain these Chinese-made laminates right now, and these homeowners have no idea their health is at risk.

You can’t trust the label

The formaldehyde-high products are found only in Chinese-made flooring, not the flooring made in the US and sold by Lumber Liquidators. What 60 Minutes discovered is that workers from the 3 mills in China that supply this laminate knowingly mislabel their laminate as CARB2, despite the formaldehyde percentage exceeding the allotted amount.

Low-cost flooring is often-times low-cost for a reason

As Anderson Cooper reported, Lumber Liquidators can reduce its manufacturing costs from 10 – 15% by using a higher percentage of formaldehyde in its laminate flooring. For a multi-billion-dollar company, 10 – 15% equates to millions saved each year.

That millions saved also allows the company to offer customers a cheaper-priced product. But with that reduced cost comes increased health risks, including:

• Cancer
• Respiratory issues
• Eye, nose and throat irritation

Formaldehyde is often found in flooring, particularly in Chinese factories. It’s used in the glues that bind wood particles, which end up becoming the core board found within the laminate. Certain levels of formaldehyde are deemed not harmful, because the chemical is trapped within the laminate. But when the percentage of formaldehyde reaches a certain point, the air you breathe becomes toxic.

With levels as high as what was tested on Lumber Liquidators’ Chinese-made laminate flooring, there is reason to be concerned.

Be sure to find laminate flooring that’s affordable and safe

Lumber Liquidators is an attractive option for many homeowners out there because of its affordability. That’s why it rakes in billions of dollars in sales each year.

But that low price does come at a cost. Most other companies that use respectable and healthy manufacturing processes sell their flooring for more than Lumber Liquidators, and now you know why: Lumber Liquidators’ laminate flooring contains dangerous levels of formaldehyde, which saves them money in operational costs, but can cause you long-term health issues.

At Catalfamo Gallery, we take special care to ensure that the laminate flooring we offer to our customers is made safely and does not contain harmful levels of toxins that can cause health issues to you and your family. Visit our online inventory today to see all of your options for a safer, healthier, family-friendly laminate flooring that you can trust.

Liquid Glass is the only glass flooring product on the market made out of 100% recycled glass. And as much as that, alone, is an attractive feature for consumers, it’s the depth and beauty of Liquid Glass that has made it a tile product unlike anything else on the market.

Capture the essence of natural water in your home

Imagine a liquid floor you can actually walk on. That’s exactly the appearance that Liquid Glass delivers, thanks to the brilliance in sparkles, reflections and hues. Handmade in Mexico, and stocked in Miami, Liquid Glass is ideal for pools, fountains, and any wet application, although its versatility makes it a viable tile solution for other applications as well, including for floor use in light commercial applications.

Like all other flooring products we proudly offer in our catalog, Liquid Glass is as breathtaking as it is functional.

Liquid Glass Specs

• 3.5 x 14 in clear finish
• 7 x 14 in clear and frosted finish
• 3 sizes of mosaics
• .5 x 14 liner

The environmental benefits of recycled glass

It’s easy to see the term “recycled’ and assume that it’s being used simply as a marketing ploy to attract environmentally conscious consumers. But when it comes to recycled glass, the earth really does benefit.

By using recycled glass, less space is used up in landfills, air pollution is reduced by 20%, and water pollution is reduced by up to 50%. Making recycled glass consumes up to 40% less ener-gy than making new glass, because cullet (crushed glass) melts at a much lower temperature. For every ton of glass that’s recycled, more than a ton of raw materials are saved (including sand, soda, ash, and limestone).

In other words, the term “recycled glass” isn’t a buzzword at all. By using recycled materials, Liquid Glass is truly one of the most earth-friendly glass tiles around.

Nowhere else will you find this type of beauty and art-work in a recycled tile

Catalfamo Gallery is the exclusive distributor of Liquid Glass by Surfaces.net. As a leading pro-vider of online flooring solutions since 1979, we work hard to bring to our customers the most popular, exotic, and luxury brands in the market. Liquid Glass lives up to high demands for quality and beauty, which is why we’re excited to bring it to you. Please stop by our showroom to see our selection of Liquid Glass tiles.

Close your eyes and say the words “Smart Home.” What comes to mind? Probably a fridge that tells you when you need milk, or voice controlled lighting, TV and window shades. But does your vision of a smart home ever factor in the floor?

It should.

Lauzon Flooring – no stranger to innovative flooring approaches, has introduced to North America something never seen before – a smart hardwood flooring that actually improves indoor air quality (all while making any space far more beautiful). Pure Genius, as it’s called, is a special coating that transforms your floor into a smart floor.

How can a floor be a smart floor?

By now, savvy consumers have grown wary of several terms du jour, like “organic” or “smart.” They want proof that the product is as it’s marketed to be. So how does Pure Genius actually demonstrate its “Smart”-ness?

The specially coated floor is activated by light (either natural or artificial), and breaks down airborne toxins, and as a result creates pure air in your home. Independent studies have proven that the air inside a home featuring Pure Genius is up to 85% cleaner than the air of a home without Pure Genius. Cigarette smoke, pet urine, and lingering cooking smells are all reduced thanks to this latest innovation.

The smart floor uses a patented titanium dioxide technology to decompose bacteria, viruses and molds, and transforms toxic airborne particles into water and carbon dioxide molecules.

Pure Genius for a healthier living space

At this very moment, without you realizing it, every day and objects in your home – like counters and furniture – are likely emitting toxic contaminants into your home. In most homes, little is done to combat these toxins, despite the effects they can have on the health of our loved ones and ourselves.

But installing Pure Genius flooring is the equivalent of planting three trees in your home, because of the type of air purification this innovation provides. By providing a consistent flow of circulated air – activated by light – your home’s air quality will improve drastically, without your having to do anything at all.

Pure Genius’s air purification effects reduce the symptoms of respiratory problems, reduces potential carcinogens, decomposes bacteria, viruses and molds, minimizes odors and, in short, improves the air quality of your home by up to 85%.

But is a smart floor a good floor?

The very idea of flooring that improves your air quality is alluring, surely. But what good’s a smart floor if it doesn’t look – or function – the way you want it to? But because Pure Genius was designed by Lauzon, quality and beauty were at the forefront of the creation. The Pure Genius special coating can be added to almost any Lauzon flooring line, and doesn’t degrade over time. Pure Genius is a built-in feature in the manufacturer’s new Authentik oak flooring and Organik maple flooring series, but is also available as an option on all Lauzon Ambiance Collection products, as well as in many products in the Designer Collection line.

Each of these flooring collections boast beauty and brawn. And, in fact, Pure Genius does more than make your air cleaner – it also helps keep your floor cleaner too, thinks to its ability to disperse hardwood cleaners more effectively than other floors.

More about Lauzon Distinctive Hardwood Flooring

Lauzon is based in Quebec, Canada, and is one of the leading hardwood manufacturers in all of North America. They are among the forefront of environmentally sustainable flooring, including managing a forest larger than Connecticut, and employing manufacturing methods that allow for zero waste. Their unique sawmill concept uses more of every tree than most manufacturers, meaning the company doesn’t have to cut down as many trees. Ever since 1995, the company has converted its wood residue into recycled energy.

Lauzon was founded in 1985 by David Lauzon, and since then has found new and exciting ways to reimagine flooring. In 1999, the NextStep Collection changed the flooring landscape by combining the beauty of solid-sawn hardwood with a specific milling process that ensured maximum durability.

In 2002, Lauzon did it again, by being the first to offer a treatment that slowed the yellowing process of wood floors. Just three years later, the company launched Titanium Traffic, a superior finish designed for light commercial use. Then, in 2007, after a $50,000,000 investment that converted the company’s Thurso sawmill into a hybrid facility, Lauzon was able to cut each log based on the finished product required by its customers.

And now, in 2014, Pure Finish has come to light to create the smartest wood flooring on the planet, that just happens to be tied to the beautiful Lauzon collections.

In recent years, thanks to modern technology and innovation led by the globe’s most forward-thinking flooring manufacturers, today’s Wood Look Porcelain Tiles are nearly impossible to differentiate from natural wood, except for the fact that these porcelain tiles can be installed virtually anywhere (think outdoors, kitchens, bathrooms).

One thing to realize about wood look porcelain tile is that the installation method can often times differ from the installation of other planks, The reason for this is that many of the longer planks crown in the middle. At first glance, your plank might look flat, but in actuality they are not. There will often times be a bowing effect, which might become an issue when you try to overlap (or offset) the planks.

Selecting the Correct Mortar for your Wood Look Porcelain Tile

With large format tile planks you want to use a medium bed mortar instead of thinset. The thinest bed of mortar that should be used is 1/2″ and in cases where concrete floors are uneven a thicker bed would be required. Yes, this uses more mortar and, yes, these types of mortars are more expensive, but this is not where you should try to save money. If you want your wood look porcelain tiles to stand the test of time you will need to use the correct materials and installation method.

Working with the bow effect of wood look porcelain tile

Many manufacturers and how-to guides will tell you that a full offset (or 50%) will increase the unevenness of your floor. A 50% offset means that the middle of your tile is exactly in line with the grout joint of the next row. This is a uniformed look many people would like, but the American National Standards Specifications for the Installation of Ceramic Titles sets the limit at 33% maximum offset, so that you don’t maximize the amount of unevenness and lippage between tiles.

But what if you really want that 50% offset look, which is popular for a reason – it’s clean and creates order and balance to any room?

There is a company whose wood look porcelain tile line allows this 50% offset, without fear of significant unevenness.

Get the exact look you want with the wood look porcelain of Flaviker

Flaviker – founded in the 1960s – is one of the first companies to make a name for itself in the ceramic flooring industry. They combine cutting-edge technology with aesthetic innovation to continue to push the boundaries of contemporary surfaces, including that of wood look porcelain tiles.

Through endless trials and testing’s, Flaviker has found a way to create the most vast and luxurious line of wood look porcelain tile, while allowing customers to install the planks using 50% offset, a rarity in the wood look porcelain field.

Their installation process is considered one of the easiest and friendliest on the market. Each ceramic tile in their collection has specific installation specifications and, if followed accurately, will provide you with flooring that will maintain its beauty and integrity for many years to come.

Even a professional installer might run into obstacles and issues handling the bowing effect of many wood look porcelain tiles, particularly if you’re hoping to offset your planks by 50%. The Flaviker tile collections give you and your installers the most freedom, and least hassle, in capturing your desired look.

The Urban Wood line from Flaviker is fast becoming one of the company’s most popular collections. This collection is an interpretation of natural wood, with the inclusion of knots, grains, and other natural wood features.

With natural veining and the warmth that is synonymous with wood, Flaviker’s Urban Wood line comes in five colors: Blanco, Grigio, Naturale, Avana, and Antico. And, because it’s Flaviker, you and your installers have far more freedom in how you design your flooring layout than with most other wood look porcelain tiles.

How to install different flooring tiles – a handbook for you

The Tile Council of North America is a nationally recognized council on how to install different tiles correctly using the correct grout and specifications, based on your tile. If tile is getting installed in your home or office, your installer should have the TCNA handbook – make sure of it.

Within this handbook are production selection guides for ceramic, glass, and stone tiles, as well as guidelines for web areas, information on substrate flatness requirements and much more. In other words, it’s a bible for all tile installations.

In the end, it’s always important that you refer to any installation instructions that are provided to you by your specific flooring manufacturer. If you cannot find these instructions, you should refer to the information provided in the TCNA handbook, or call Catalfamo, so we can help you properly install your flooring.

Two of the most reputable types of flooring available these days are wood flooring and porcelain/ceramic tile. It was only a matter of time, then, before the two merged into something of a super floor – Wood Look Porcelain Tile.

For years consumers have wanted to install hardwood into moisture-rich areas such as their bathrooms or kitchens, but couldn’t, because hardwood would not perform well in these settings.

Then came the advent of Wood Look Porcelain Tile, which allowed these consumers to incorporate a hardwood look into any space (outdoor, indoor, commercial, residential) with the water resistant durability of ceramic or porcelain tile. But when it first came out, Wood Look Porcelain Tile options were limited. As technology continues to advance, however, these wood look tiles are able to capture virtually any style of wood available, from rustic to modern and realistic.

Below are some of the leaders in the Wood Look Porcelain Tile world, who continue to push the limits of technology and our imaginations.

Their wood look porcelain tile line – Travel – consists of four varying shades that are well suited for most projects. North White and East Grey are softer, brighter hues, while South Gold and West Brown offer a darker approach to the wood look.

Sant’Agostino – Nature & S Wood: Sant’Agostino has two lines dedicated to the art and function of the Wood Look Porcelain Tile. Located in Italy, Sant’Agostino has always celebrated the perfection and artistry that’s provided by pure Italian porcelain. Their high-end line of tiles have been sources of inspiration and wonder for consumers for more than four decades, who continue to turn to Sant’Agostino for the finest in high-quality Italian porcelain.

Nature comes in five lines: Bisque, Brown, Grey, Honey, and White (in both 8 x 48 and 6 x 48 tiles), while S Wood comes in traditional colors such as Nut, Gold, Sand and Brown, as well as the unique and bold Black.

Edimax – Wood_Ker: Italy’s very own Edimax is committed to offering aesthetically perfect flooring choices that are designed to be used in a variety of commercial and residential settings.

Wood_Ker is produced with an innovative technology that replicates knots and grains, adding to the authenticity of the look. Colors come in Nut, Grey, Cream and Brown.

Lea – Bio Plank: The very essence of environmentally friendly has been redefined with the introduction of the Bio Plank by Lea, which also features a patented Microban antibacterial protection. The Bio Plank combines practicality and aesthetics while pushing forward the latest technologies in flooring. Wood flooring has never looked so modern and sheik than when displayed in the stunning colors of Bio Plank, including Fume, Oak Noisette, Oak Lava, Cottage Blue, Brown Cottage, Oak Ice and Smoked.

A push toward elegance, practicality and class

Since the dawn of the flooring era, hardwood and porcelain have remained kings. Both exude different looks and feels. Often, we equate porcelain tiles with bathrooms, kitchens, and large, mansion-esque homes. Wood flooring has been looked upon as a way to connect to nature without compromising beauty.

However, wood flooring has its drawbacks, including its versatility and longevity. Porcelain tile, on the other hand, has often been looked as as limited in where it “looks good.” With the advent of Wood Look Porcelain Tile, consumers can essentially have their cake and eat it too. They now can enjoy all the visual benefits of hardwood, and the functional benefits of porcelain, in one gorgeous tile.
