COLOR EFFECTS
There are many components that create the look of a beautiful wood floor. At Luxury Wood NYC, we offer more than standard finishes and stains, we also offer various color effects and treatments to truly customize the look of your new floor.
Fumed

Smoked

Pre-Color
Provides new intensive colors. Requires subsequent treatment with oil or lacquer suitable for any type of wood certified by IBR
Lye
Provides a lighter finish, reduces yellowing process of the wood. Requires subsequent treatment with oil or soap suitable for any type of wood certified by IBR
Cerusing
This is a textured or 2 toned look that is achieved by wire brushing certain woods (to scrape out some of the soft grain) than staining or dying the floors and then filling in the soft grain with a different color.
Wire Brushed
The term "wire-brushed" describes a finish for hardwood flooring that involves scraping the wood planks with a hard-bristled wire brush. The result of the process is a wood floor with more texture than a typical smooth, glossy finish; the look is distressed, gently weathered, and rustic.
Handscraped
Hand scraped wood flooring is an extremely popular wood flooring option with anyone seeking something just a little bit different. This type of wood flooring, as the name suggests is wood flooring which has been made to look old, somewhat distressed and worn, using a technique called hand scraping. This gives the wood a sought after worn, weathered and “test of time” look.
