Agate Chequerboard

With a uniform blackened silvery tone and varying textures, Agate’s checkered flooring has an undeniable presence. This is not a format you will see too often as it requires very specific techniques to achieve such a design.

Agate’s panels come in 980mm x 980mm (38.5” x 38.5”) squares, and are 20mm/¾” thick, making this floor a stable and durable option, as well as one that emits beauty. The wood used here is over 100 years old, making this floor an investment. Agate comes in a thick 4-6mm wear layer, which can be softly sanded down to keep the ‘just purchased’ look for decades and beyond.

Using the original open-grained patina effectively and burnishing the wood results in a texture that is completely individual, capturing deep grain valleys and natural perfections across the antique squares. The rich black tone superbly lifts this grain pattern to the forefront, with silvery-grey hints drawing the eye and doing this antique wood so much justice.

Architectural details are available upon request and are made to complement the tonal values of your floor. Maintaining this floor is effortless with our Care System 1.
