FEATURES & BENEFITS

Each Bella Citta Floor follows a recipe of treatments to produce the final surface color and texturing. To achieve each wide-planks unique beauty, the planks can take 7 to 21 days of crafting during the color & treatment phase of production. Unlike a simple staining process that generally takes 20 minutes from start to finish, a Bella Citta hardwood floor of art can take weeks with multiple layers of color treatments.

Our treatments include smoking, reactive staining, wire-brushing, hand-scraping, liming, white-washing and final surface coating. Each Bella Citta color recipe is uniquely different with a depth of color that is unachievable through simple staining. We are passionate about producing the very best looking hardwood floors in the world

• Same trees as used to make red wine and bourbon barrels.

• Selectively harvested at full maturity often well over a century old from the managed forest.

• French/German White Oak, rich in tannins, combined with our proprietary fuming process creates natural colors without adding traditional stain.

• Logs are “live-sawn”.  By cutting straight through the log, you get a high percentage of spectacular and stable quartersawn sections with medullar flecks and cathedral grain all in the same plank.  Wide live-sawn planks show the various idiosyncrasies of each log, including knots, pith or mineral deposits.  

• Natural variations occur by using the whole log adding unique character and personality to each room. 

• 3.2mm or 4mm top layer is comparable to solid wood and can be sanded.

• No Added Formaldehydes.

• Ultra-matte UV Urethane finish (Bona Naturale on Biarritz, Moorea & Papeete) no oil, no wax, no worry.

• Full 3.2mm or 4mm  hardwood surface re-sandable up to 3x.

• Repairable.

• Features a strong 3-ply cross-grain core (Biarritz, Moorea & Papeete) or 7-layer plywood core construction. This design resists shrinkage, expansion and warping from seasonal changes.  A hardwood core enhances stability.

• Radiant heat compatible (Biarritz, Moorea and Papeete).
