Listone Giordano: A New Generation of Hardwood Flooring

Margaritelli Group has reinvented hardwood flooring by employing state of the art technology and Italian design through its Listone Giordano brand. This revolutionary two component engineered floor consists of a "quarter-sawn" hardwood wear layer supported by a multi-layer marine birch base. This proprietary technology stabilizes the top layer of solid wood against expansion and contraction resulting in a product that ensures stability and durability in every installation. Listone Giordano?s exceptional two layer stability makes it suitable for glue-down installation on plywood, ceramic tile, existing hardwood, stone or concrete. This makes it possible to install hardwood in condominiums, homes, basements, light commercial areas or even over radiant heat flooring systems.

Listone Giordano, the world leader in two layer technology, prides itself on industry leading quality, craftsmanship and variety. Through decades of experience they have been able to perfect the production and milling process resulting in a product that fits together with perfect micrometrical precision and without any bevels. Their generous wood wear layer means that this flooring can be sanded and refinished 4 to 8 times making it a true lifetime investment. Intense quality control and laser guided selection processes are used to divide wood fibre type and colour tone, thus guaranteeing a beautiful and uniform floor. Offered in 5 different plank sizes and 14 natural wood species, Listone Giordano can enhance any type of d?cor and satisfy even the most eclectic tastes. Finally, durability is ensured by Listone Giordano?s patented XPlus finish, possessing extraordinary resistance to abrasion and incredible flexibility that are provided by its 8 coats of non-toxic, UV cured varnish.

Margaritelli understands the delicate balance of nature and works hard to preserve the environment. All of Listone Giordano?s exotic woods are obtained from managed forests around the world. Furthermore, by using marine birch as a support layer, Margaritelli Group has been able to eliminate the wasteful use of rare and precious hardwoods. As a result of its constant vigilance and continual improvement, Margaritelli now holds numerous environmental certifications for its efficient and effective production facilities and processes.

With its advantages in stability, precision, reliability, durability, aesthetics and ecology, Listone Giordano truly is the new generation of hardwood flooring.
