Foglie d’Oro Listoni European Walnut Parquet

Foglie d'Oro Listoni

The European or "national" walnut has an intense brown color with grey/blackish nuances inside. Between one board and another, pleasant streaks and shading are created, contrasted by lighter and darker parts. A characterizing element of this wood is the presence of yellow/greenish veins in some boards.

This wood is highly prized for the ease of its processing and for the beauty of its structure which is quite hard and heavy and not very bendable. European walnut parquet has overall good durability and stability thanks to its easy drying.

The parquet is available in various finishes:

• Pre-polished :
  this simpler first process makes the surface of the parquet smooth and soft to the touch and uniform to the eye.
  It is carried out through a special calibration and sanding of the boards with specific abrasive papers.
  The material thus retains its natural originality, adapting to any finish.


• Brushed :
  the most requested process is brushing because it makes cleaning and maintenance of the wood easy. With special brushes, the softest part of the grain is removed, leaving the structure of the wood in relief and opening the pore. Its warm natural sensation remains unchanged, without ruining the fibers of the material.


• Sandblasted :
  sandblasting is a process by which the most superficial and soft part of the wood is consumed through abrasion due to a jet of sand and air.
  The presence of micro incisions thus gives the flooring a material and scraped effect.


• Hand dug :
  it is a process on the surface which consists in the hand hollowing and rounding of knots and edges of the boards, enhancing their strength
  structural character of the chosen wood. The creation of this special process gives a truly high-impact three-dimensional effect, through the play of shadows that form when the floor is illuminated.


• Hand planed :
  it is a highly sought-after precious treatment that is still carried out by hand by expert master craftsmen today. This is the process carried out with the use of small planes, which create an irregular, slightly hollowed and wavy smoothing which, under the effect of light, gives a unique and exclusive appearance of great value and beauty, which cannot be repeated mechanically. Suitable for those who love rustic style.


• Antiqued :
  the antique effect is carried out entirely by hand with special tools that make the surface of the wood look lived-in, reproducing the passage of time and foot traffic with scratches and scratches. With small holes, the fake woodworm effect is given, emphasizing the characteristics of aged wood.


• Saw cutting :
  it is the recovery of a traditional technique, which used saw cuts, to result in a wood surface that is rough to the touch.
  This finish makes any scratches less evident and enhances the cutting grooves and streaks. The traces left on the surface have a depth, orientation and dimension that cannot be reproduced on an industrial level as each plank is different from the other.


• Rounded :
  Processing carried out by hand with the use of tools that generate a deep and rounded hollow. The boards are hollowed out in the external part which is the softest in nature, creating a lived-in, worn and worn effect to the eye and touch.
