Have you ever walked into a century home and been drawn to the beauty of its original hardwood floors?

There’s an immediate connection we all feel, an attraction to its history and craftsmanship, to that human touch of character and authenticity.

Maybe, for a moment, you experienced a pang of floor–envy.

Envy no more,

Now you can enjoy the same beautiful look of character hardwood in your home.

Experiencing the warmth and richness of artistically distressed or time–worn flooring is easier than ever, and it comes with the benefit of today’s technology.

Homeowners now can enjoy the look of distinctive, crafted hardwood, with the peace of mind that comes with the strength and durability of a brand new floor.

When selecting this kind of hardwood, you should also consider environmentally–friendly features such as FSC certification.

This label is your assurance that the floor has been produced to the Forest Stewardship Council’s highest standards for sustainability in product development and creation.

And, what about indoor air quality?

Some flooring companies do a better job than others in making sure that their floors go the extra mile in protecting the environment inside the home.

Torlys, a leading Canadian flooring company, has done all this and more with its new line of character hardwoods called Artisan Hardwood.

With Artisan, what’s beautiful to the eye is matched with an inner beauty of solid environmental benefits that include FSC certification, Uniclic joint technology for gap and warp resistance and an attached cork underlay protected by Microban anti–microbial treatment, a proven inhibitor of stain and odour–causing bacteria, mold and mildew.

You can find out more about this fine Artisan collection online at torlys.com.

If you’re ready to add a touch of old–world charm and distinction to your home, it may be time to rethink hardwood and consider something old that’s new again.
