'Dear Ecodure, we are renovating a big old 2 level villa in Parnell and need a floor with classic elegance that will work as well with the old as it does with the new spaces. I have a few requirements, how detailed can you get...'
Product Used: SomaOak | Engineered Oak Flooring, NZ (Earthen Grey Herringbone)
Almost quadrupling in size, this late 1800s workers cottage got the full renovation & extension treatment. Saving the old kauri floors is always a consideration with these heritage projects but inevitably the feel of a brand new structurally engineered timber floor often feels substantially better than refurbished 150-year-old kauri T&G.
By direct sticking SomaOak herringbone planks to the existing kauri (which was already in fairly good order), the home now has a seamless connection between the centuries and the cottage gains a new feel of solidity, ready for the next hundred years.
Custom stairnoses made from longer lengths of matching flooring clad the new stairwell and custom balustrade trims ensure a very considered approach to the finishing.

Slow-built oak, specified your way. SomaOak is Ecodure's made-to-order engineered oak flooring — designed for project work where the bevel depth is exacting, the finish needs to be tactile in just the right way, and the grain pattern has to satisfy the most fastidious of boat builders. We've worked with a few.
The Floor Is Yours
True to Ecodure's long held preference to build 'direct-to-customer' flooring solutions, SomaOak Engineered Oak Flooring offers you the floor;
to be as detailed as you like in regard to knots, colour, texture, size and overall aesthetic.
