About "BROWNIE" - A Masterpiece in Wood Flooring

"BROWNIE" is a premium product in our collection, renowned for its rich and deep dark brown color, achieved through a meticulous process. The European oak is gently brushed and deep smoked, then finished with special oils to enhance its natural beauty. To ensure durability and longevity, the surface is protected with a top-quality hardwax oil, offering not only an elegant finish but also a resilient and easy-to-maintain surface.

The Project: Drumsheugh Gardens, Edinburgh
​
​Drumsheugh Gardens is located in the heart of Edinburgh, a city celebrated for its historic and architectural splendor. This area boasts a mix of grand Georgian and Victorian architecture, characterized by their elegant facades, intricate ironwork, and beautifully landscaped gardens. The renovation project was set within one of these charming properties, adding a modern touch to its timeless elegance.

Step-by-Step Installation Process
​

1. Removal of Old Tile Flooring: The project began with the careful removal of the existing tile flooring. This step was crucial to ensure a clean slate for the installation of the new parquet flooring.
2. Subfloor Preparation: The existing floorboards were inspected and repaired as needed. This was followed by the installation of 9mm plywood sheets, creating a stable and flat subfloor, essential for the longevity of the new herringbone parquet.
3. Installation of Herringbone Parquet: Our expert fitters then began the meticulous process of installing the "BROWNIE" herringbone parquet. We employed the glue-down installation method, which ensures a secure and lasting bond to the subfloor.
4. Seamless Transition: One of the highlights of this project was creating a smooth transition between the hallway flooring and the new kitchen flooring. By perfectly matching the height, we eliminated the need for thresholds, resulting in a seamless and cohesive look throughout the space.
5. Final Touches: After the installation, the flooring was cleaned using our specialized Hoff Parquet wood flooring cleaner, ensuring it was pristine and ready for the homeowners to enjoy.
