Why choose wooden flooring in elm?

Elm is an excellent substitute for American oak, a wood now so common that it has become quite ordinary. Hailing from North America, elm is a very grainy wood, which Cadorin’s multiple solutions manage to enhance in excellent alternative finishes. A noble wood with a hardness similar to American oak, it is chosen for the greater feeling of prestige and exclusivity that it transmits.
