In the beginning, there was terrazzo. After its founding in Montreal in 1950, Ciot quickly emerged as a highly respected specialist in flooring, and over the course of its more than 70-year history, it has grown to become an international leader in natural stone, ceramic, plumbing accessories and more. Today, Ciot is expanding its collections once again, bringing its unparalleled curation and product knowledge to the world of hardwood flooring.
A rich selection of solid and engineered hardwood marks its debut offerings, which are featured at the company’s North American locations. Available in a wide range of sizes, patterns and finishes, the collections are designed with timeless beauty in mind and an aesthetic palette that’s suitable for the entire home.
Ciot’s selection of noble French and European oak is defined by a wealth of finishes and textures that give architects and designers welcome flexibility. Rich in tannins, white oak also develops an elegant patina — and a deeper colour — as it ages, becoming more distinctive by the decade.
The engineered hardwood series is similarly distinguished by exceptional durability and style. Highly resistant to warping and bowing, the flooring combines a beautifully detailed and naturally varied grain with high performance.
Ranging up to almost 20 centimetres in width and over 2.25 metres in length, the wide planks provide an exceptionally clean, minimal foundation for modern house interiors, while more intricate patterns establish the floor as a central feature in its own right. Herringbone, chevron and Parquet de Versailles configurations make for a showpiece presence, and Ciot’s expertise even allows for stone and metal accents to be incorporated into the design.
Sustainability is also at the forefront of the company’s achievements. To create a standout flooring series that is long-lasting — thanks to its uncompromising quality and refinement — Ciot’s sourcing and manufacturing processes embrace an ethos of responsible logging and forest regeneration. Championing environmental and social good, Ciot’s FSC-certified wood collections are considered the gold standard in ecologically sound lumber products.
