Now here’s an interesting idea. More durable than traditional wood floor. We spotted this lovely floor at Cartolina, a Candian design house that creates and sells paper products and other sundries, featuring quirky vintage designs that are easy to love. When the folks at Cartolina decided to make an expansion to the studio, they chose to use end grain block flooring, a style commonly used on factory floors in the 19th century.
Use a heavy bed of Bostic Best adhesive, 25 feet per gallon to act as moisture barrier and glue.

I am curious to know how the 2×4 sliver flooring was finished
I like it! What do you use inberween the blocks? In the seams? Thanks!
“they chose to use end grain block flooring, a style commonly used on factory floors in the 19th century.”
Exquisite and smart.
Love the look for my kitchen floor it looks great, more than great speechless.
What kind of finish was used?
Do you use grout in between the wood?
How do you install this end block type of floor?
I really like the look of this floor. I am chemically sensitive, so looking for safe answers. Do you know if there are low/no VOC glues & finishes that will work well with this? Thanks much.
Looks more like 2×6
Would like to know what was used s grout, and what.was it sealed with, also what was it glued down with. Thank you
do you know if this works well with radiant floor heat?
How thick is each tile?
Please tell me what type of medium was used for the grout/inbetween filler and what color stain and or finish was used. Thanks
Seriously people! I have questions just like everyone else. This obviously isn’t an inclusive article. HOWEVER, the adhesive IS mentioned in the article. Read, use your brain, and do YOUR OWN research!
When I first saw this I knew I’m using it in my dream home. At first I thought small bathroom, then I decided I wanted it in a bigger area so it’s going to be the entrance hall to the back and bathroom. My dream home is a dog trot style.
Wow one could us a level and cut each one to fit into a slanted or wavy floor to make it level. This could be my solution to my wavy floor. love it.
