Homeowners Adding More Inlay Designs To Their Wood Floors

Hardwood floors continue to grow in popularity, but this year’s top wood floor winner says consumers increasingly are adding intricate inlay designs to their foyers and living areas.

“Simple inlay designs have been mainstream for several years, but we are seeing a call for more complex inlays as a focal point in custom homes and renovations,” said George Goodwin, president of Goodwin Heart Pine Company. Goodwin Heart Pine recently earned the prestigious “Designers Choice Wood Floor 2002” award at the National Wood Flooring Association’s national convention.

“Some of these installations are amazing works of art,” said Goodwin. “We get calls all the time for special pieces of wood that craftsmen intend to use in elaborate designs.”

The national award floor featured a variety of Goodwin Heart Pine’s luxury antique reclaimed woods such as River-Recovered® Heart Pine, Heart Cypress and Wild Black Cherry. The project, directed by DM Hardwoods Designs of Mission Viejo, CA, also used a variety of exotic woods as accent pieces.
More than 1000 pieces of wood were hand-cut to produce an intricate eight-foot design of a Victorian compass rose medallion. An Angled border of River-Recovered® Heart Pine surrounds the artwork to form a 16 x 20-foot floor.

Interior designers judged the competition based on beauty, complexity and originality. The award joins others previously received by Goodwin including the Floor of the Year for 2000, 1999 and 1997.
