Architectural Standards Dossier

Engineering, Geometry & Precision

How our master joiners and site engineers execute wooden flooring to European architectural tolerances.

Natural hardwood flooring is the most enduring flooring material known to architecture. Unlike printed laminates or cold ceramic tiles, authentic solid wood blocks age with grace, can be re-sanded multiple times across generations, and introduce organic acoustic dampening to high-end residential interiors.

We source sustainably harvested African Mahogany, Teak, and White Oak, precision milled with microscopic tongue-and-groove tolerances. We acclimate the timber woodblocks inside your residence for 7 to 10 days before laying to match the internal ambient humidity of Nairobi, eliminating gaps and cupping.

Our flooring is adhered directly to screeded substrates using high-elasticity silane polymer adhesives that flex with micro-movements of the subfloor. After laying, floors undergo a 4-grit dustless sanding progression and are sealed with multi-coat industrial polyurethane or natural hardwax oils.

Guaranteed Execution Workflow

Frequently Asked Technical Questions

Common Inquiries for Wooden Flooring

Yes, provided the existing tiles are firmly bonded, level, and free of moisture. We diamond-grind the tile glaze to create mechanical keying, apply a high-tack polyurethane bonding primer, and adhere the parquet directly using elastic silane adhesive without damaging the underlying structure.
