wood medallion installation template

A template is used as a guide for the router for medallion installation. Plywood template is attached to the floor with the double-sided tape or finishing nails. Inside diameter is the same as the diameter of the round medallion.

The template is shipped disassembled in a small package, about 12"-15" kidney shape. Please locate the package in the shipping box to avoid accidental discard. Plywood sections of the template are assembled into full shape on-site.

Face-tape refers to the construction of parquet tiles. Pieces composing the tile are held together by transparent adhesive wide tape applied on the surface. This tape can be removed after the parquet is glued to the subfloor with sanding. Tiles are semi-rigid which allows for better flexibility during installation.

Plain(Flat) Sawn Rift Sawn Quarter Sawn
Plain(Flat) Sawn wood Rift Sawn Wood Quarter Sawn Wood
The most common type of floor with tangential grain. Plain sawn wood highlights the grain, loops and growth swirls of the wood. Grain lines to be mostly parallel to the length of strips and some medullary ray flecks less than 1/16" wide. Grain lines to be mostly parallel to the length of strips, and medullary ray flecks present more than 1/16" wide.

Often you can find Rift/Quarter flooring - mix of Rift and Quarter. The benefits to this cut of wood are straighter grain that is up to 50% more stable than plain sawn flooring. This is the best option for radiant heated floors. It is also more expensive.

CORNER BLOCK or BORDER CORNER- A border element designed to complement the border pattern, interrupting the flow of the pattern at the corners usually at turns.
Typical corner block is a square piece installed where the border must turn 90 deg. Czar Floors can produce custom border corners with other angles. Some models do not require the corner blocks if the boards can be mitered 45 degree in the intersection.
Corner blocks are not sold separately from the border. Unless noted otherwise, the cost of the corner is the same as one lineal foot of the border.
