Stone has adorned our floors since cave times. This avoided invasive vermin coming from the ground. We kept cool for the hot season and we heated ourselves by burning wood directly. It was enough to sweep the fire to sleep on a heat-insulating layer.
A Dallage Bourguignon floor is both powerful and sober.
It has been decorated with inclusions of all kinds, it has been cut in a thousand ways, but nothing is better than a simple and large surface of majestic slabs laid in bands or in Roman Opus. Quality furniture and objects find a setting like no other.
Originally varying in thickness from 6/8 cm to 15/18 cm, we have gotten into the habit of slicing our paving to a thickness of 3 cm in order to keep only the upper layer weathered by centuries of nailed shoes. And thus facilitate easy installation in our modern or modernized worlds. The advantage of this slicing opens up the possibility of the extreme comfort of underfloor heating. The stone and its support restore during the day the caloric load made up during the night.
Whether it is a darker paving, sometimes even purple in Vosges sandstone or more ocher from Haute Marne or Haute-Saône or even more beige or cream from Aube, Côte d'Or or 'Yonne, everything is a question of taste, you will delight in this polished surface of centuries of use under your bare feet tasting its freshness or its softness depending on the seasons.
Laid in strips of fixed widths and free lengths, or in clever compositions mixing the pieces together in the Roman style, no regret will ever come to call into question your choice for this floor which we consider to be the most loaded in our history and ready to face the centuries.
Our price of €300 to €350 per m2 depending on the lots and their specificity, although representing a significant investment will easily be put into perspective when, in use, you will have the intense joy of enjoying a universe combining aesthetics and maximum comfort without the disadvantages of tedious maintenance.
