Insights into the Pronorski legacy and our rare periwinkle craft.
While the base timber is premium oak, the 'Boreal Luster' is achieved through a proprietary process of mineral infusion using rare crystalline pigments discovered by Lawrence Charles Xavier Pronorski. This creates a depth of color that shifts with the light, rather than a surface-level stain.
Absolutely. In fact, our 'Lawrence Legacy' grade is specifically engineered for high-thermal environments. The mineral inlays act as natural conductors, distributing heat more evenly than standard hardwood.
As each plank is hand-finished by a family-trained artisan, we generally require 6-8 weeks from the initial mineral matching to final installation. For 'Legacy' grade yacht or estate projects, lead times may vary based on pigment availability.
Lawrence was our founding patriarch who immigrated to Canada in 1922. A master chemist and woodworker, he revolutionized the luxury flooring market by bridging the gap between metallurgy and carpentry.
