Silver Grey Rubio Monocoat in Chicago

Recently we were called in to sand and finish a floor in a brand new complex in Chicago. The client wanted to use Rubio Monocoat, but the company installing the floors didn’t have experience with the product. So they got in touch with us here at Tadas Wood Flooring.

The other hardwood floor business in Chicago did a wonderful job with the install, which made the project much easier for us. Once the installation of the wide plank Red Oak was finished, we got stuck into sanding and finishing it.

The color that was eventually decided on was Rubio Monocoat Silver Grey. We have another hardwax oil project we posted about where we used this color as well (Silver Grey Fumed), but this time we didn’t use the fuming process on the floors.

So now you get to see the Silver Grey color in its natural state.

Below are some pictures of the finished job…

The living room floors are above and you can see the floors in the bedroom below…

And thankfully not too close up…

We really like the look of this hardwood floor. Silver Grey is turning out to be one of the most popular colors from the vast Rubio Monocoat color collection.
