Wood Floor Borders

A CORNER BLOCK (or BORDER CORNER) is a specialized element designed to complement the border pattern. It interrupts the flow of the pattern at the corners to create a finished, architectural look. While some borders can be mitered at 45°, corner blocks eliminate complex cutting and add a decorative focal point to every turn. Please allow for an additional border quantity if mitering the corners.

We can make curved border sections to fit a specific area for an additional charge. You would need to provide the template or AutoCAD for the curve or precise radius.

We do not recommend installing borders without space to the wall. Walls are never perfectly straight, and the border may not align. The apron area can be filled with regular strip flooring. You may create a nice "rug" effect by installing strip planks at 90° to the wall. The typical distance from the wall is about 12 inches. A minimum of 6 inches is recommended. You can move borders further off the wall if needed. This apron area will allow you some "playroom" to adjust border placement and alignment at the corners. We recommend to dry-lay the border on the floor first.

The section length varies and depends on the pattern repeat of the design. Typically, it is between 1.5 and 3 feet. The specific section length is secondary to the overall design, as our borders are engineered for a continuous, seamless flow. Given your required border length, we will provide whole border sections to cover this length.
