Don't change anything...really. I can't believe that the entire process went so smoothly for such a large order.

BEAUCHÊNE STAINED-MAPLE FLOORS


Beauchêne maple wood from la belle province, Quebec - beautiful Canadian hardwood with a distinctive character. Beauchêne's exquisite stains reduce the sharp color variations of natural maple with even and luminous grain-enhancing hues. From the accommodating light- and medium-browns of Antique and Gunstock to the exotic cherry-wood tint of Cinnamon (and not only much harder, but less expensive than actual cherry-wood!), there's a color tone for any décor. Beauchêne tongue-and-groove solid maple flooring is a full ¾" thick in three widths, comes in satin, semi-gloss, and high gloss finishes - and with 10 coats of finish, including aluminum oxide, has a 25-year warranty against finish wear and manufacturing/ structural defects. And Beauchêne's three grades, Folk, Provincial, and Select or Better, consistently have longer boards than other grades. Min. order one pallet (800 sq. ft.); from US$3.16 sq. ft. f.o.b. mill, Quebec.
