The suitable wood
We prefere hardwoods such as ipé, jatoba, exotic woods, charm, acacia hardwood from Europe, there are many in the range Émois et Bois. 
Wooden floor artificially aged like oak are a good solution for the kitchen.


What surface treatment?

The vitrification 
In the kitchen, vitrification is not recommended if you have chosen this solution you should implement a polished high traffic, if your wooden floor has been varnished factory we recommend a survitrification.

- The oiling
That surface treatment best suited to the kitchen, the wooden floor may be washed with soap maintenance parquet oiled. 

 

 What kind of laying ?
Laying stuck in the kitchen is preferable.
We do not laying floating in the kitchen.

 

The kitchen


In the case of open kitchen, it is often preferable to aesthetic use the same wood in the kitchen and living room. If the wood chosen is not appropriate to the kitchen it will move - to the work plan - about 60 to 80 cm wide, use a adapted wood which may have a decorative effect.

 

 

The view point of Emois et Bois

To make it easy to live in the kitchen you need to choose a wooden floor who will resist to the agression without damage, such as natural wood patina, aged wood, etc… Wooden floor withone aspect finished impeccable are banned except, of course If you are meticulous.
