Hardwood selection Crafted by hand Purple patch
Baltic Wood says its flooring solutions are
amongst the widest in Europe, due to the
multitude of wood species, surface refining
methods and aesthetic effects the company
offers. Solid and layered hardwood floors
come in a large variety of woods including
oak, ash, American walnut and European
walnut, wenge, beech, Canadian maple and
European maple, the majority of which can
be laid over underfloor heating.
Above is shown the Desire floor, from the
Miracles Collection of three-layer wooden
floors, which has received a Red Dot Design
Award this year △ said to be one of only
three wood floors that have been given this
award. The heat-treated oak floor has a surface
characterised by oak-typical sapwood
and knots. The structure is markedly highlighted
in the brushing process and it has a
high shade variation. Below, from the Noble
solid wooden floors’ Sélection du Sommelier
collection, is Pinot Grigio, refined with white
and grey eco oil. It also features a brushed
surface with a high shade variation and the
hollows are stained white.

Jennifer Manners Bespoke Rugs is a boutique
studio specialising in distinctive wool
rugs, and drawing inspiration for its designs
from around the world. These hand-knotted,
hand-woven and hand-tufted rugs are made
to order from New Zealand or Himalayan
wool, and clients can choose from an extensive
library of designs offering a wide range
of standard styles and colours or customdesigned
pieces, for both commercial and
residential projects.
Eastern influences feature strongly in the
collection, as well as abstract, graphic and
geometric designs, such as those pictured
here. Hex, seen above, offers a series of
hexagon shapes arranged in a honeycomb
grid to create a dramatic, contemporary
look, whilst Gate II is taken from the company’s
classic Gate design, which was inspired
by a communal garden in a London
park △ in this version an extra colour has
been added for more depth and interest.
All these rugs are available in other colour
combinations, and they can be made to any
dimensions required.

Forbo flooring was specified throughout the
new Edinburgh premises of the Royal Institution
of Chartered Surveyors. Allura Wood
luxury vinyl tiles in Oyster Seagrass were installed
in the breakout areas and walkways,
chosen for their durability and high Light
Reflectance Value. For the kitchen zones
within the office areas, ease of maintenance
was a necessity and, along with the Allura
tiles, Marmoleum Real was chosen for its
performance characteristics. The Topshield2
finish, combined with natural antibacterial
properties, makes it hygienic and easier to
clean. The Purple colourway was a good
match to the institute’s brand colour seen
here used as a wall and ceiling feature.
The Eternal general-purpose sheet vinyl collection
has been updated and a key element
is the digital print section, where there
are said to be no limits to what can be created.
Designs range from giant ‘gemstones’,
such as the cross-section view of a crystalline
rock below, to a petrified bark effect
and a rainbow design with a spectrum of
colour gradients over a 10 m length.
