1 2 The marvel of tradition.

2 3 Wood is one of the biggest witnesses of time. Perhaps, the most fascinating one. The history of the mankind is written in the products made of this wonderful raw material: instruments used in the past, ancient and modern houses, pieces of furniture, objects and, of course, floors. Nature and man find their most graceful union in wood. But this union reaches a real perfection only when man learns how to shape wood maintaining it as element of nature. And we do it, in Val di Fiemme.. Two words that tell the thousand-year handicraft history of our valley. A richness that runs untouched through the grains of these boards.

4 4 5 The marvel of tradition. STRUCTURE S TECHNICAL BUILDING Wood, a marvellous witness. Thanks to finishing touches and treatments refined in a centennial tradition and a ten-year research, wood is able to transmit the sensations and the charm of a better life, when nothing was standardised and boards were always solid, natural, impressive. And imperfect, because hands used to work them rigorously. The series represents our tribute to our past, as it has inspired us since the beginning of our adventure, always refusing whatever may be dangerous for nature and men. This series can let you revive today the most beautiful and genuine part of wooden floor s history. The wood of is accurately selected to let it maintain its realest aspect, with its natural knots, sapwood and cracks, as artisans did in the past. It is aged or old-looking, Thermowoodglazed or treated combining more types of working. The boards for Croz, Tobià, Castel,Sass, Troi, Termol, Fener, Bait and Vòlto are characterized b by the special old-looking touch finishing on their surface, that treated with deep abrasive techniques and coordinated with marked bevelling - fires up the result of boards natural consumption to create vivid and seasoned woods, where the irregularity of the substance and the strong shadings give excellent and wonderful effects. The ancient beautiful and healthy floors do still exist, so we have called them with the words of our past tradition and dialect: names of places and of daily life in Val di Fiemme.
