This parquet has been reclaimed from the former printing house of the Belgian National Bank in Brussels. The modernist building was designed by Marcel Van Goethem in 1950. More info here
End grain wood flooring has a high resistant to weight. It is manufactured by continuous cross-cuts in blocks which beautifully expose the annual growth rings on each piece. The parquet is made in exotic wood (afzelia/doussie) which offers great stability over time. Mechanical cleaning of mortar residues with quality sorting was carried out by our team in our workshop. The upper surface is generally smooth and uniform. The underside (not visible) is cleaned from mortar residue by mechanical sawing, which creates a slight relief to improve adhesion to the substrate.
Each square meter contains ± 204 blocks.
Width | 7 cm (± 0,1 cm) |
Length | 7 cm (± 0,1 cm) |
| Thickness | 2,5 cm (± 0,1 cm) |
Condition: There are light chips and mortar traces on the edges and small dents and scratches on the surface. Needs to be cleaned and sanded for final installation. After installation, we advise customer to use a wax oil in order to protect wood. As shown on the images, there are some color and grain variations which is part of the end grain process.
The material is sold as is. We recommend customers to come at our physical shop and check before buying. We do not take any responsibility once the material is laid. As this batch is unique, we recommend taking a margin into account in order to complete your project.
Delivery/Pick-up packaging (pallets and pallet collars) is not included in the price.
