TRADITIONAL HEALTHY SOLID WOOD FLOORING WITH HOME CLEANER TECHNOLOGY
Bordeaux Pine is unique Bordeaux pine is one of the hardest European pines with a density higher than American Pine. Furthermore, we use only heart wood, the strongest part of the tree from the center of the log. Remember, all wood will dent; If an object is falling and dents your solid Bordeaux pine flooring, it would have also dented solid Oak flooring.
A little piece of local history…
The broad triangular stretch of land extending
south of Bordeaux to the sea was originally
covered with a patchwork of sandy deserts and
marshes.
Its villages frequently suffered from diseases,
such as malaria, while the land deteriorated
from erosion.
Local initiatives failed to restore the landscape,
so the French emperor Napoleon III passed a
law in 1857 that provided for draining and clea-
ning up the area known as the Landes. A wide-
scale reforestation project was undertaken. PARIS
