FEATURES & BENEFITS
9 series PLUS
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
Natural Beauty

-
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.
Live Sawn Solid Top Wear Layer

-
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.
