Cadorin
Gravel of Larch contemporary
charm plank
Walk along a gravel beach, feeling under bare feet sweet little round and smooth pebbles. The suggestion is strong but it is even more so if, once you open your eyes, you realize that the surface is a soft wood.
The last frontier of Cadorin Group
is this: impress on the floor real
reliefs, a completely new and
patented novelty in the field of wood
flooring /paneling. So the Gravel of
Larch proposal of Tracks Planks
collection, that reproduces the
random disorder of gravel, is eye-
catching, creative, definitely out of
the traditional schemes. The raw material is
the Austrian Larch worked on the surface with
a gravel relief drawing and subsequently finished with a nuanced gray and white varnish, through which you can see the wood grains.
This kind of superficial working produces two extraordinary effects: on the one hand the unique aesthetic relief combined with shades of color,
on the other the wood hardness, also for the Larch by nature a soft and tender wood, the result of this working is a hard and solid wood, and an increase of the resistance to wear and the practicality of the parquet. The use of wooden planks is not only for horizontal position, but always more this solution is utilized also for wall and decorative coverings. The positioning of the Gravel of Larch planks on the wall is an unusual mix of orientation, a puzzle both horizontally and vertically, so as to achieve
a new design for a fascinating result.
