What is Cardinal Hall's single-batch wood concept?

One wood lot for the entire interior — floor, doors, kitchen, stairs — identical tone for decades.

How long does Cardinal Hall dry timber?

280 days of chamber and thermobaric drying. 6–8% moisture, ±0.5 mm geometry.

25 years on products, 2 years on installation.

Yes, strict NDA. Equal service regardless of project size.

Homogeneous timber: sanding and refinishing depth 6–8 mm and more. Expressive grain, high tactility.

More sensitive to humidity swings — needs stable 40–60% climate and professional installation with compensation gaps.

Stabilising layers reduce seasonal movement. Preferred for large areas, open plan, water and electric underfloor systems.

Refinishing depth is limited by top layer — typically 3–6 mm. High-load projects allow for local module replacement.

We assess: substrate, microclimate, underfloor heating, junction heights, load (furniture, castors, heels), service life without major overhaul.

At Cardinal Hall both types are made and installed by one manufactory — the decision is not tied to “convenient stock”.
