Here is a photo from an installation we completed for a Kansas City resident’s rental home with flooring in Carmel Valley. The hardwood is a 5” wide distressed maple from the Reward Savannah Classics Collection and was selected by sending many photos to Kansas City and a couple of their visits to San Diego. 

This flooring is hand crafted, rich in character and is produced by one of the top 10 hardwood flooring distributors nationwide. Not only are these fine products backed by a lifetime warranty, but with each purchase, a tree will be planted in a national forest. As you can see, this floor added warmth and charm to this home, and it can do the same for yours.

The carpet is a cut loop piece from Tuftex of California. The subtle texture is casual yet refined, and the color akin to sandy beaches, making this the perfect choice for this Southern California residence. But it doesn’t stop at aesthetics. This carpet is made with Anso recyclable nylon which offers resiliency, toughness, and has anti-stain and soil technology. 

We also installed 13” Mercury Beige tiles. This product offers the look of natural stone, but the practicality of porcelain. It too evokes the colors of San Diego’s beloved beaches and sandstone cliffs and partners well with the hardwood and carpet.  Our installer’s ability and experience were of importance on a job such as this one as, where materials transitioned at multiple points, especially at tile.

We also have this same 5" Lauzon African Sapele floor installed in our hardwood flooring showroom in Solana Beach.  

We undercut the cabinet curved trim detail to create the illusion that the bamboo was installed under the cabinets.

The client wanted to have new clean base boards so we used #314M 3 1/2" base painted white. 

She also wanted to have a smooth transition to the tile in the kitchen and bath. By gluing down the flooring we were able to create a nice clean transition. 

Strand Woven Bamboo Stairs in Solana Beach

On Another note and another job, a warning about solid bamboo.

Be careful if you are using solid strand woven bamboo products. In the last year we have removed 3 homes that had the flooring literally popping off the concrete. One person tried to glue down the solid woven directly to the concrete and it failed miserably. Another client tried to float the floor by gluing it to itself and using a moisture barrier underlayment. This photo shows how far up off the floor and how unstable solid strand bamboo is in San Diego. This is just one photo that shows how much the floor expanded up into the walls creating pressure into the floor area.
