Named for the winemaking process where the first press of grapes yields the finest, most refined product, First Press showcases expressive grain patterns and character through specialized surface finishing techniques.\r\n\r\nFirst Press distinguishes itself through artisanal contouring that is said to create butter-smooth, sculpted textures rarely found in hardwood flooring. Unlike standard wire-brushed or hand-scraped finishes, First Press uses specialized techniques to contour knots, enhance grain figuring and create dimensional depth that invites touch. The result is hardwood that feels hand-finished rather than manufactured, with each plank showcasing the wood's natural character.\r\n\r\n\"We designed First Press to give customers something truly special\u2014floors with texture and character you don't see everywhere,\" says Doug Jackson, CEO. \"The contouring process brings out the best in the wood. It's premium oak done right.\"\r\n\r\nKey Features:\r\n\r\n \tPremium European white oak planks with artisanal surface finishing that invites touch\r\n \tContoured knots with 75% fills create a modern rustic visual, adding depth while remaining smooth to the touch\r\n \tSculpted bevels are shaped, not scraped, to soften lines and deliver a relaxed, buffed appearance\r\n \tRandom length planks up to 86 inches and 9 1\/2-inch wide for an expansive look\r\n \t2mm-thick veneer strengthened by multi-layer engineered core for superior dimensional stability\r\n \tDurable aluminum oxide finish provides better scratch protection and easy cleaning\r\n \tFloorScore certified, low-VOC and CARB\/TSCA compliant to support healthier indoor air quality\r\n \tWood is responsibly harvested from well-managed forests and Lacey Act certified\r\n \tVersatile tongue-and-groove milling for nail or glue-down installations\r\n \t50-Year Residential\/15-Year Commercial Warranty\r\n \tColor-coordinated stair treads and trim available for every color\r\n","post_title":"Cali launches First Press hardwood","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"cali-launches-first-press-hardwood","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-03-10 14:53:05","post_modified_gmt":"2026-03-10 18:53:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.fcnews.net\/?p=76925","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":76923,"post_author":"7","post_date":"2026-03-10 14:32:55","post_date_gmt":"2026-03-10 18:32:55","post_content":"Dalton\u2014The World Floor Covering Association (WFCA) is taking its leadership on the road in 2026 with the launch of its first-ever Step Up Tour\u2014a nationwide initiative designed to meet members where they work, elevate their stories and spotlight the professionals shaping the future of the flooring industry.\r\n\r\nAccording to the organization, the Step Up Tour represents the most ambitious effort in its history to meet members face-to-face.

The company uses advanced digital graphics and 3D digital structure printing to achieve the effect.\u00a0This dual process captures the linear movement and organic variation found in natural stone. It also recreates the tactile surface detail and subtle pores associated with travertine.\r\n\u201cTravertine has always been admired for its calm, architectural character,\u201d said Dave Godlewski, vice president of sales and marketing at Wonder Porcelain. \u201cWith Ivorynn Stone, we harnessed 3D technology to mirror that warmth and authenticity while delivering the durability and precision of American-made porcelain.\u201d\r\n\r\nCollection details\r\nThe Ivorynn Stone collection features a sophisticated matte finish. The line comes in three large-format sizes: 16 x 32, 32 x 32 and 24 x 48.\r\nThe curated color palette includes Sahara Sand, Caramel Noce and Riverstone Grey.\r\nTrim and accent options include bullnose pieces, 3-inch hexagon mosaics and 2 x 2 mosaics designed to expand installation possibilities.\r\nAttendees at Coverings 2026 will be able to experience the collection firsthand at Wonder Porcelain\u2019s booth.","post_title":"Wonder Porcelain to debut Ivorynn Stone at Coverings","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"wonder-porcelain-to-debut-ivorynn-stone-at-coverings","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-03-10 15:43:06","post_modified_gmt":"2026-03-10 19:43:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.fcnews.net\/?p=76918","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":76925,"post_author":"7","post_date":"2026-03-10 14:53:05","post_date_gmt":"2026-03-10 18:53:05","post_content":"San Diego\u2014Cali announced the launch of First Press, a premium European white oak hardwood collection that completes the Cali Hardwoods Trilogy, alongside the brand's bestselling collection Barrel, and Varietals. Named for the winemaking process where the first press of grapes yields the finest, most refined product, First Press showcases expressive grain patterns and character through specialized surface finishing techniques.\r\n\r\nFirst Press distinguishes itself through artisanal contouring that is said to create butter-smooth, sculpted textures rarely found in hardwood flooring. Unlike standard wire-brushed or hand-scraped finishes, First Press uses specialized techniques to contour knots, enhance grain figuring and create dimensional depth that invites touch. The result is hardwood that feels hand-finished rather than manufactured, with each plank showcasing the wood's natural character.\r\n\r\n\"We designed First Press to give customers something truly special\u2014floors with texture and character you don't see everywhere,\" says Doug Jackson, CEO. \"The contouring process brings out the best in the wood. It's premium oak done right.\"\r\n\r\nKey Features:\r\n\r\n \tPremium European white oak planks with artisanal surface finishing that invites touch\r\n \tContoured knots with 75% fills create a modern rustic visual, adding depth while remaining smooth to the touch\r\n \tSculpted bevels are shaped, not scraped, to soften lines and deliver a relaxed, buffed appearance\r\n \tRandom length planks up to 86 inches and 9 1\/2-inch wide for an expansive look\r\n \t2mm-thick veneer strengthened by multi-layer engineered core for superior dimensional stability\r\n \tDurable aluminum oxide finish provides better scratch protection and easy cleaning\r\n \tFloorScore certified, low-VOC and CARB\/TSCA compliant to support healthier indoor air quality\r\n \tWood is responsibly harvested from well-managed forests and Lacey Act certified\r\n \tVersatile tongue-and-groove milling for nail or glue-down installations\r\n \t50-Year Residential\/15-Year Commercial Warranty\r\n \tColor-coordinated stair treads and trim available for every color\r\n","post_title":"Cali launches First Press hardwood","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"cali-launches-first-press-hardwood","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-03-10 14:53:05","post_modified_gmt":"2026-03-10 18:53:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.fcnews.net\/?p=76925","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":76923,"post_author":"7","post_date":"2026-03-10 14:32:55","post_date_gmt":"2026-03-10 18:32:55","post_content":"Dalton\u2014The World Floor Covering Association (WFCA) is taking its leadership on the road in 2026 with the launch of its first-ever Step Up Tour\u2014a nationwide initiative designed to meet members where they work, elevate their stories and spotlight the professionals shaping the future of the flooring industry.\r\n\r\nAccording to the organization, the Step Up Tour represents the most ambitious effort in its history to meet members face-to-face.
