Finally got round to upload some images to the pc from some of our latest projects: Double Large Plait in Oak Prime (all individual strips): Nice little challenge for the boys: bay window where the pattern needed to mirror the ceiling alcoves: Then images sent to us by a client in Berkshire (who found/begged another company to buy one of our design tiles pattern and install it - think they did well): It's a very special design which our design parquet manufacturer copied from a drawing/image we'd seen a few years ago and which we baptised "Charing Basket". Anyone ever seen this pattern and knows its original name?
Havwoods do a mosaic panel very similar called Grantham, difference is, there is border around the pattern
Hmm, I had a look at the catalogue I could find online and think the Corbin Crown resembles it most, that's also one without a border and where the edge strips end mitred. Can't find an image of a floor in it though Then again, a lot of patterns have different names in different countries or with different manufacturers. Think we stick to our own name: Charing Basket ;-)
Nice work wood you like. I used to love making & installing these types of floors and miss it dearly now. Your quality of work shows you like what you do. Can i guess the first pictures are 9-10mm square edge over ply? One of the largest suppliers in the UK for patterns and panels is Ted Todd (AKA Edwards Cheshire). I think i have come across you outside of this forum via Paul Gorman & Ed Rivis would i be correct? Keep up the great work.
HI apollo13 - you're right about the two marketing "guru's" ;-) learned a lot from them. Normally we would install a pattern like this on Industrial grade mosaic (7-finger mosaic), only in this case it involved UFH which (on our recommendation) has a plywood subfloor. All of our Design Parquet patterns (and 6.2 - 10mm blocks) come from an independent parquet manufacturer in The Netherlands.
