Layer - Photos & Ideas

Weathered and refined. Grey floors have become the hottest design trend, but not all greys are the same. For Nevis, we aim to provide a pattern that errs to the modern side, while still evoking some rustic elements. This isn’t outright reclaimed, but it’s just wild enough to not be monotone either. The most important specification for determining the durability of vinyl flooring is the thickness of the wear-layer. The best wear-layers are made of thick, clear virgin PVC, which covers the paper print-film that gives the floor its unique appearance. Once the wear-layer wears through, the paper is damaged and the floor will need replacement. Most vinyl floors come with a 8-12 mil wear-layer (0.2-3 mm). The top commercial specs in the industry are higher, at 20-22 mil (0.5 mm). A select few manufacturers offer a “super” commercial spec of 28 mil (0.7 mm). For Modin, we decided to set a new standard: 40 mil (1.0 mm) of premium virgin PVC. This allows us to offer an industry-leading 20 year Commercial Warranty (Lifetime Residential), compared to nearly all other commercial vinyl floors’ 10 year Commercial Warranty. Beyond our superior wear-layer, we also use a patented click mechanism for superior hold, and a ceramic-bead coating. SIZE MATTERS Wider and longer planks create a sense of space and luxury. Most vinyl floors come in 6” or 7” widths, and 36” or 48” lengths. For Modin, we designed our planks to be 9” wide, and 60” long. This extra large size allows our gorgeous designs to be fully expressed. DETAILS THAT COUNT We made sure to get all the details right. Real texture, to create the feel of wire-brushed wood. Low sheen level, to ensure a natural look that wears well over time. 4-sided bevels, to more accurately emulate the look of real planks. When added together they help create the unique look that is Modin. DESIGNS THAT INSPIRE We spent nearly a year just focusing on our designs, to ensure they provide the right mix of color and depth. Focusing on timeless wire-brush and European Oak styles, as well as more contemporary modern washes, our collection offers truly beautiful design that is both functional and inspiring.

Old Soul Interior Design & Renovation Studio

A balanced and functional kitchen built for everyday beauty. The exposed stone wall offers texture and contrast against creamy cabinetry. Classic pendant lights and subtle metal accents unify the space, creating a refined, rustic gathering hub at the heart of the home.

Garden Street

Amity Worrel & Co.

This was a dream project! The clients purchased this 1880s home and wanted to renovate it for their family to live in. It was a true labor of love, and their commitment to getting the details right was admirable. We rehabilitated doors and windows and flooring wherever we could, we milled trim work to match existing and carved our own door rosettes to ensure the historic details were beautifully carried through. Every finish was made with consideration of wanting a home that would feel historic with integrity, yet would also function for the family and extend into the future as long possible. We were not interested in what is popular or trendy but rather wanted to honor what was right for the home.

Bucks County Dining Room Draperies

DL Solutions inc.

In this Bucks County Dining Room, we designed, produced, and installed a dual layer of decorative ripplefold floor-to-ceiling draperies (manually operated on ceiling mounted, low-profile drapery tracks). These draperies offer a decorative focal point to the room, while also providing privacy when desired. Typically, the sheer layer of a drapery is spec'd to be installed closer to the glass, with the privacy layer in front of the sheer fabric (inside the room). Because the sheer layer of this application has such visual interest, we swapped the "normal" positioning of the layers to allow the privacy layer to act as a backdrop to the sheer layer, preventing the beauty of the sheer from being hidden behind the solid privacy fabric. In this photo, both layers of drapery are fully stacked on the left and right walls beside the sliding doors.

Wood flooring / Wenge tone European Select Oak

Cadorin Group | Top Quality Wooden Flooring

Photo: Private ville When wood takes on the warm colour of chocolate, we get Wengè-effect Oak, a new parquet from the Cadorin Group. Elegant and essential, this plank reflects the exclusive style of the Elite Collection, perfect for those with an eye to detail and wanting to play with different colour combinations. The planks are made from three layers of solid wood, where the top layer is Select European Oak (one the most popular timbers for its fine flamed and streaked texture), with a brushed surface and finished with a varnish in a new colour: Wengè - the African black wood. The planks are produced as both large planks and smaller blocks suitable for herringbone laying. The intense and expressive black hue gives the parquet particularly warm nuances, making it perfect for both idiosyncratic ethnic interior décor and for more contemporary minimalist environments. Wengè Oak is a beautiful “healthy” plank. Respect for the environment has always been a top priority for Cadorin, a Venetian company: the Select European Oak used is a select wood that Cadorin favours with its MORE WOOD - FEWER KM logo. This means that the timber is sourced within a relatively short distance from the Cadorin production site (300-700 km), thus helping to reduce the company’s carbon footprint by limiting the emission of CO2 from its means of transport. THREE TOP-LAYER PLANKS Cadorin planks are 100% made in Italy (the entire production cycle takes place in Cadorin’s production site in Possagno) and are Three Top-Layer planks (three layers of solid wood): the top layer is a single strip of solid wood some 5 mm thick; the core is formed using solid strips of Fir, laid crossways; the bottom layer is made from the same noble timber as that used for the top, visible layer. This crossed three-layer structure guarantees perfect plank balance even when produced in large dimensions (16 - 21mm thick, 14 - 33cm wide and up to 3m long as standard; also available in lengths of up 4 - 5 metres), as well as in the smaller format (10.5-12cm x 60-80cm) normally used for herringbone pattern parquet floors.

Modern Americana

Amy Troute Inspired Interior Design

ATIID collaborated with these homeowners to curate new furnishings throughout the home while their down-to-the studs, raise-the-roof renovation, designed by Chambers Design, was underway. Pattern and color were everything to the owners, and classic “Americana” colors with a modern twist appear in the formal dining room, great room with gorgeous new screen porch, and the primary bedroom. Custom bedding that marries not-so-traditional checks and florals invites guests into each sumptuously layered bed. Vintage and contemporary area rugs in wool and jute provide color and warmth, grounding each space. Bold wallpapers were introduced in the powder and guest bathrooms, and custom draperies layered with natural fiber roman shades ala Cindy’s Window Fashions inspire the palettes and draw the eye out to the natural beauty beyond. Luxury abounds in each bathroom with gleaming chrome fixtures and classic finishes. A magnetic shade of blue paint envelops the gourmet kitchen and a buttery yellow creates a happy basement laundry room. No detail was overlooked in this stately home - down to the mudroom’s delightful dutch door and hard-wearing brick floor. Photography by Meagan Larsen Photography

Noret Vinyl Plank

Discerning, intelligent, European. A staff favorite, Noret captures the depth of color and texture that is expected with premium European Oak.
