Prime 59 Corporate Lounge
Sometimes when the world Zigs, you gotta Zag!
The obsession with wide-wide-wide plank floors led us to a realization: sometimes it’s better to swim against the current. So we went ultra-narrow with this 2.5” x 25” herringbone, in American White Oak, 100% Made in the USA! Beautiful floor in Prime 59 corporate lounge in San Francisco.

Hotel Vintage - Portland, Oregon SIX YEARS LATER
Design for Performance is key to the long-term viability of a wood floor in a commercial / hospitality setting, and at Thomas Benjamin we love nothing better than to be brought in early in the design process to have input into color, grade, species and finish type.
A properly-designed floor can look fantastic even after 6 years in a busy hotel lobby, restaurant and throughout common areas!
Take a look under barstools and chairs - this floor is performing! Kudos to the maintenance staff at Hotel Vintage for properly maintaining this Rubio oil-finished floor, and re-oiling it as-needed.

Hotel Zags - Portland, Oregon
Another aspect of the Thomas Benjamin difference is our ability to provide fire treatment to ASTM E-84 Class A/1 standard, essential for wall and ceiling applications in commercial spaces.
The pros at Dawson Design Associates knew this, and tapped Thomas Benjamin to provide Premium Grade American Walnut for not only the floors, but also walls and ceilings in this ultra-cool, adventure-sport driven hotel lobby in Downtown Portland

Revere Hotel - Boston, Mass
We were thrilled to be included in the design of this project from concept to install.
2” x 16” herringbone, each piece hand-distressed and finished three different colors, which were then mixed together to achieve the designer’s vision. Plus, we fire-treated to Class A the small portion that was used as wall treatment.
Definitely a memorable project!

Chelsea Collective - Pittsburgh, PA and Tyson's Corner, VA
When the designers for Chelsea Collective, a women’s’ athleasure concept-store being launched by Dick’s Sporting Goods, approached us to collaborate on a “statement” floor they desired for the stores, the slate was essentially blank.
Oh, they had a wish-list: eye-catching, interesting, durable and easy to maintain.
We met in our custom sampling workroom in Southern California, and quickly narrowed things down to this beautiful calico-sorted American Hickory, in two plank widths and with an easy-maintenance low-gloss European Oil finish.
About a year after install the worth of an oil finish was demonstrated when there was a “water event” in one of the stores, that involved about as much grime and gunk as water.
Thomas Benjamin personnel flew out and consulted on the clean-up and re-oiling, all of which was accomplished in one overnight session.

Major Retailer
Thomas Benjamin was approached by this major nationwide fashion retailer and tasked with developing a wood floor that could stand up to the traffic and abuse a floor would take in such an environment.
We currently produce several iterations of this floor in a variety of grades, colors and finish types.
The common thread that links the floors is a degree of tactile and visual noise created by the handsculpting and liming effects that serves to camouflage minor damage and everyday grime.
To meet certain ADA requirements when connecting to adjoining surfaces, TB specially engineers this floor with a custom thickness of 7/16”

Northpark Lexus - San Antonio
Well we have to admit - we never predicted seeing brand-new Lexuses (Lexi?) parked on our wood floors. However, when the design firm suggested our Hickory floor for this project, we jumped.
The design team ended up choosing one of our standard Hickory colors, added a haandsculpted texture for character, chose custom widths of 3”, 5” and 7” (alternating), and split the job between solid (upstairs) and engineered (downstairs and sales floor).
