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.

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.

This is where the certification of wood flooring comes in.

This process of evaluating wood products and their origins can date back to the early nineties, when choosy homeowners wanted to be sure that they were choosing wood products created by ecologically reputable companies. It was difficult to discern a high-grade product from a wood product created by Bob’s Discount Lumber. Today, if you go to any reputable lumber yard, you will see planks of wood with the stamp “FSC Certified,” which tells you that this product meets the highest standards for eco-friendly wood.

FSC is an acronym for Forest Stewardship Council and is the most recognized of the three major certification program sponsors (the others being the Sustainable Forest Initiative [SFI], and the Canadian Standards Association).

The Forest Stewardship Council developed first out of the three sponsors, and has received the most support from worldwide recognized environmental organizations; these include The World Wildlife Fund and Sierra Club. The FSC upholds its reputation by contracting with third-party auditors to get independent examinations and evaluations. These third-party organizations include Smartwood and Scientific Certification Systems.

The Sustainable Forest Initiative was created in 1994 from the American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA); this organization oversees the standards in the paper industry.

Finally, the Canadian Standards Association works in Canada and provides certification and stringent standards to follow for wood products from all over the world. The Canadian Standards Association is also responsible for the National Standard for Sustainable Forest Management of Canada.

If you are looking for ways to help the environment, seek out wood products that were created with the environment in mind — look for certified wood flooring products. When you purchase certified wood flooring products, you are not only getting a beautiful floor, but you are being eco-conscious as well. They may cost a little more, but you are helping to ensure that the expansive and marvelous forests will be around for years to come.
