Building a home from the ground up is no small feat. For Zach and his wife, it was more than just a project—it was a labor of love. From conceptualization and design to framing, finishes, and decor, they poured their hearts (and hands) into every inch of their new home. And when it came time to choose the perfect flooring, they landed on Flooret’s Evern 7” from the Silvan Engineered Hardwood Collection.
Crafting a Dream Home
When Zach and his wife embarked on their self-build journey, they knew they wanted every element to reflect their vision of industrial-modern design. Their search for the perfect flooring started where most do—Google. As they sifted through options, one stood out: Evern 7” from Flooret’s Silvan Collection. Its slight variance in tone and exceptional durability made it the ideal fit for their new home. Being able to extend the flooring installation to their walls allowed them to bring their unique vision to life.
A Floor That Withstands It All
Unlike a typical renovation project, Zach’s home had no previous flooring to remove—just a bare subfloor waiting to be transformed. As a contractor by trade, Zach has installed many floors, but he notes,
“The installation was as smooth and easy as any floor Iʼve ever installed. As a contractor by trade, thatʼs saying a lot!”
With his expertise, the floors were installed seamlessly, proving both their quality and ease of use.
But the true testament to Evern’s durability came during construction. For six months, the floors endured the rigors of an active job site—without any protection.
“The fact that the floors held up and withstood six months of construction without any form of protection/covering speaks volumes for the quality of the product.”
More Than Just a Floor
Zach and his wife didn’t stop at the floors. They took some of the offcuts and crafted custom doors for their bathrooms and pantry, extending the beauty of Evern beyond just their walking surfaces.
While the flooring blends seamlessly into their home’s industrial-modern aesthetic, it has still made a lasting impression. “I don’t think this is a bad thing at all—it just means that the floor blends with the rest of the house and is a piece in the cohesive whole.”
And of course, the floors have already become the backdrop for cherished moments, like watching their dog get the zoomies and “Tokyo drifting all over the kitchen!”
A Perfect Fit for Their Design Vision
With a timeless color palette of white and black, Zach and his wife ensured their home would stand the test of time. Their bedroom features a striking dark green accent wall (Sherwin Williams Coriander and Olive), while a splash of teal (Sherwin Williams Mariner) adds a playful touch elsewhere.
The Flooret Experience
Beyond the exceptional quality of their floors, Zach praises Flooret’s customer service and fast shipping. “The customer support was prompt and second to none. Also, the shipping time was superb and the website pictures are very true to the actual product.”
Now, as Zach and his wife settle into their self-built dream home, their Evern 7” floors stand as a testament to both their craftsmanship and the beauty of a well-chosen foundation.
