Elegant, soft and clean...
~
Nothing beats an earthen floor for its beauty and texture.  Sealed with natural oils such as hemp or flax seed, an earthen floor is a refreshing texture to have underfoot.  Easy to clean, durable with some of the similarities of a concrete floor but with a leathery slipper like feeling to it.  A welcome alternative, free from the toxins found in carpet padding and laminate flooring options, you can feel safe and secure with this choice.  Often laid in a thick slab over a subfloor of gravel and insulation in new homes, these floors can also be brought into existing spaces to re-finish or replace an outdated flooring option.  Skim coats over an existing wooden subfloor can be as thin as 1/2" thick, reducing the weight load.

Sound cold to the touch?
An earthen floor can easily be fitted with hydronic hot water heating.  The ease of installing modern pex plumbing has made radiant heated floors an accessible option.  Contact us today to help remodel that cold basement slab of yours, or to replace your moldy carpet with clean sand, straw and clay.

An Earthen Floor done by Jim Schalles of Tallgrass and Nad Kad. The locally sourced mocha colored clay used for this floor had very expansive qualities that resulted in a plethora of cracks on the surface of the finished floor. The repair job lends an aesthetic that is uniquely beautiful to some.
