A downtown condo with spectacular views of the river and surrounding neighbourhoods demanded a special hardwood floor to accompany the owners eclectic and moroccan inspired decor. The owner wanted a darker floor that would hold up well with her cat and not show the dirt. As oiled floors are better at masking wear and tear, she chose this stunning Ash wide plank hardwood from Du Chateau's Terra Collection. The Ash is thermo treated and ebony oiled giving it the dark and sultry appearance for an exotic and rich feel in the home.

The grain in ash is different from oak in that it has more of a swirl pattern and can vary greatly between the boards. The resulting look is an artistic expression of the natural wood and the deep wire brushing feels like a massage while walking barefoot across the floor.
