A CLOSER LOOK AT EXOTIC FUSION™
Nature has always been a source of inspiration. But now, the desire to preserve and protect our
natural resources has inspired a whole new world of innovative
design. Exotic Fusion is one such innovation, fulfilling the desire to
create new and exciting hardwood designs without depleting the
world’s rarest and most beautiful tropical forests.

BIRCH | Cypress GroveEEF5301
Exotic hardwood species are prized for their unique
character, striking grain patterns and depth of natural
color. To capture this look, Armstrong began with
four abundant domestic species known for their
exceptional graining: maple, mountain elm, ash and birch.
Individual boards are selected with special attention to
the character of the grain. A special thermal treatment
process caramelizes the wood, producing rich colors and
distinctive grain effects remarkably similar to exotic woods.
The time and temperature are precisely controlled
for each species, as a range of extraordinary shades
and effects can be achieved simply by adjusting these
variables. No stains are necessary. The thermal process
colors the entire plank. The smooth surface and dramatic
details of Exotic Fusion™ are at home in a wide range
of settings, from transitional to contemporary to global
designs. It’s the perfect choice for anyone who demands
the new and exciting, but wants to do so responsibly.

A CLOSER LOOK AT BARREL CREEK™
It began in the rolling hills of Napa Valley. At the intersection of wine country and ecological ingenuity, interior designers
found a new way to reuse wine barrels. The reclaimed oak became furniture,
home accessories, and truly unique hardwood floors. The look is a strikingly
original interpretation of vintage style.

SBC2100
Armstrong was inspired by this extraordinary style
and have made it more widely available. We begin with
solid 2-1/4˝ strips of premium rift and quartered oak
– the same material coopers use to make fine wine
barrels. We have painstakingly reconstructed every
detail of the original barrel floors, complete with
Vintner’s marks burned into random strips and authentic
cooperage stamps. We apply a deep color wash to
enhance the grain and give the wood an aged appearance.
This interplay between color and texture make
Barrel Creek™ a three-dimensional sensory experience.
Finally, the floor receives our highest quality urethane
finish to protect its unique look. Whether you are
a wine aficionado, a vintage design enthusiast, or just
love truly original home décor, Barrel Creek is a
unique way to bring a touch of wine country
ambiance into your home.
