| Live-edge Hardwood Floors | ||
Whether a client’s preference is white oak or maple – or any other durable domestic wood – this type of floor requires advance planning. Often times, Dan says new construction or an addition requires the removal of existing trees resting on a property. In cases such as these, Dan suggests selecting a tree that must be torn down from the customer’s property, and re-using it within the home as a live-edge floor so nothing is wasted.
Together with a client’s interior designer, architect or builder, the team at Apex presents a number of finishes and level of distressing, hand-scraping and wire-brushing to the floor, creating the desired look that complements the home’s interior. While Dan says an oil-and-wax finish is popular here in the Midwest, polyurethane, tung oil and multiple other choices have been used for live-edge floors he has handcrafted in his 15 years of experience on the job.
“Ideally, a live-edge floor is something a family can enjoy for a few-hundred years. It’s an investment for generations,” said Dan.
