This impressive effect not only improves your property value, but wide-plank floors are a timeless choice that never goes out of style.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Multi-Dimensional Reactive Stain<\/h3>\n

The Mauritius is dual finished with an incredible reactive stain and then smoked (fumed) for extra richness in color.\u00a0Reactive stains<\/em> create color from inside the wood by interacting with the woods natural ingredients to create unique, 2-toned colors in wide variations that cannot be duplicated with traditional staining methods. Reactive stain’s interaction with the natural tannins and sugars in the wood also creates an ‘aged’ look by replicating the oxidization and maturing process of naturally aged wood. The natural maturing process will normally take decades to achieve, but with the reactive staining process it can create the same look immediately without harming the quality of the wood itself.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fumed<\/em> (AKA Smoked) wood has been exposed to ammonia which reacts with the natural tannins in the wood to bring out new colors and variations.\u00a0Because the intensity of the reaction depends on the tannin content of the wood, each board reacts a little differently from the next, creating color variation that is more pronounced than untreated wood.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In utilizing these time-honored processes, the Timbertop Mauritius combines the best of modern innovation and old-world techniques to create one incredible floor.<\/p>\n
