UNIQUE FLOORS company deals with non-standard floors. The company's portfolio includes hickory, ipe, mahogany, zebrano, black American cherry, Burmese teak and relic chestnut. At the exhibition in the Manezh showed samples from the collection of Unique. For example, a rare species of hard maple is the bird's eye maple. It has an incredibly beautiful pattern, resembling the plumage of a bird (there is one stem out of a thousand, which makes this wood very expensive). They also exhibited zebrano and sequoia root: experts selected suitable cuts in color and pattern so that the floor looked like a single canvas. The walls of the stand were covered with an antique hemlock wood plank, which is already more than a hundred years old. It is found when parsing old buildings.
