6 French White Oak (Quercus Qatraea) Northern European White Oak grows north of the Alps mostly in France, Germany and Austria. Here, during the last ice age, the number of varieties of oaks were greatly reduced as they could not migrate over the Alps into warmer climates due to the eastwest orientation of the mountain range. In contrast, there are more than 100 subspecies of Oak in North America where all the mountain ranges are north-south oriented. French Oak has the highest consitent tannin content, resulting in more uniform color shades. French Oak is grown in forests that have been a model for sustainable hardwood management for the last 300 years. The trees are only harvested when they are fully mature after 100+ years. The harvesting is done by select, unobtrusive cutting.

This traditional method results in a variety of beautiful grain patterns: tight straight quarter grain, medullar flecks along the edges, and cathedral grain can be seen in the same plank. Live-sawn planks will also show the various idiosyncrasies of each log, including knots, pith or mineral deposits.

To complete the look, the surface is protected with a durable matte finish that allows the wood s beauty to penetrate.

9 Lime washed We use hydrated lime or slacked lime in the white wash process. No stains are used. The result is a new floor that instantly looks as if it has faded and mellowed naturally over years. To complete the look, the surface is protected with a durable matte finish that allows the wood s beauty to penetrate. Lime washed wood floors have recently been rediscovered by designers and homeowners. This process has been used for its ability to add strength and enhance color for centuries. Its use has been found at Aztec and Egyptian sites dating back to 3000 BC.

For normal cleaning, use a sponge mop with clear water, squeezed dry.

22 Easy care Sweep and vacuum floors regularly. Use walk-off-mats at door ways and area rugs in high traffic areas to make long term care easier. For normal cleaning, use a sponge mop with clear water, squeezed dry. For heavier cleaning, mist a cleaner (made for poly-urethane coated hardwood floors) onto a sponge or sponge mop. Install felt floor protectors under furniture and appliances to help prevent scratches and dents. Use soft rubber casters for rolling furniture.

Maintenance instructions must be followed and in particular the floor cannot be wet mopped. The use of products containing wax or oils may damage your floor and void the warranty. Extreme Conditions and Surface Checking. The manufacturer will not warranty Palladio flooring in climates that experience extreme humidity changes. The humidity level in the home must be in the 45% 60% range throughout the year using air conditioners, humidifiers or dehumidifiers as appropriate.

We do not warrant against natural variations in color within the floor Palladio flooring cannot be responsible for claims arising from flooring that possesses a greater range of grain/color variation than found in samples supplied by dealers. Palladio flooring is purposely selected as a country grade wood and as such, contains all the original defining uniqueness such as open knot-holes, pits, worm holes, and other naturally occurring elements of a country grade floor. We suggest you allow 5% waste for cross cutting and removal of cracks and end splits. Allow additional 5% if open knots will be cut out and not filled. Color Fastness. All woods are sensitive to light and oxygen; therefore over time they will change color developing a unique patina because of varying exposure to sunlight or UV light.

The sole remedy provided herein is the repair, refinish or replacement, at the sole option of the manufacturer. In the unlikely event that the manufacturer is unable to correct the failure after a reasonable number of attempts, the manufacturer will refund, if requested, the purchase price of the portion of defective floor on a prorated basis. Any attempt to repair or replace the floor prior to the manufacturer s inspection and authorized repair actions will void this warranty. This warranty does not include the cost of labor if the flooring is installed by other than professional installers. It does not apply to any products designated or sold as B-grade which is sold as is. There are no other warranties, including merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, expressed or implied other than those listed within this warranty.
