Watch Your Step. Renovation Flooring.

Flooring forms the base in any interior design. You have to use it, and everything rests on it.

It begins the styling tones of a room or acts as a quiet backdrop on which everything else takes centre stage.

Whether you are a modernist or traditionalist, hardwood flooring will add interest, timeless appeal and versatility to your home décor.

At PROBUILT by Michael Upshall, we give a lot of attention to what lies underfoot.

 

Hardwood flooring provides a seamless flow of connectivity. However pleasing the painted walls and tailored millwork assist with the visual transitions, in this renovation, we quietly broke up the monotony of Brazilian cherry flooring by applying parquetry to the dining room planks with a subtle border and herringbone pattern.

Renovation: Indoors Out & In Again

To achieve the contemporary, open concept feeling the Client wanted, the flooring needed to be continuous and ever flowing without barriers. There are no breaks or borders disrupting any floor lines in this remodel.

 

Renovation: Stylish Green Contemporary

When one floor must meet another, not only does the transition between the elements need to complement, but the room transition must seem uniform. For this remodel, existing hardwood was given a small profile border when abutted to the new slate. But the drywall returns and ceiling bulk heads continued from one room to the next maintaining connectivity from one area to the other.

Renovation: New is Made Old and Old is New

 

Sometimes, remodeling is done in stages, and the chances to match old flooring are slim. For this remodel, we were very fortunate that the marble tiles were still available, and we were able to unite the new entry with the existing foyer through flooring. How did we know the new tiles would match? We were able to reference lot numbers on old and new packaging.

Renovation: Roof is the Icing on Top

 

For this award-winning remodel, we used tile borders tactically throughout the basement renovation. Not only did we border the outer walls, we used border to define the living areas within the open space.

Renovation: BILD Award Winning Renovation

 

At the 2008 National Home Show in Toronto, the Dream Home hallways were tiled while the living areas had hardwood. To help transition to the outdoor living space, the flagstone flooring along with a water feature started inside the home, and continued once you crossed into the backyard. Literally, this floor treatment brings the outdoors inside.

Sometimes, flooring can give a ceiling visual interest, as in this Dream Home at the 2009 National Home Show. With a ceiling this immense, the flooring planks up high ground the vastness, providing warmth to a potentially cold architecture.

 

To help anchor your focus in this very busy, attention grabbing setting, a circular floor transition adds interest to this large open space and we positioned a circular sectional couch to mimic the border. With the contrasting textures and colours, flooring sets the styling tones to this room…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

…yet in the bedroom, flooring becomes the backdrop on which the décor and the wall treatments took centre stage.
