Inlay installation can be done any other time after the floor is installed. However, it is less forgiving for the gaps and scratches during the installation. Czar Floors hardwood medallions can be unfinished or prefinished. Larger, over 70 in. Segments typically provided mesh net mounted on the back and face-taped to allow the installer to adjust segments fit on-site. Plywood backer is supplied separately. This is done to prevent warping and deformation in large inlays during transportation and storage.
Choose the location where your medallion will be placed. On the subfloor, draw the lines to locate the center of the medallion. Have the customer approve the placement. For the template method, line up the installation template, so the template lines align with the lines you have drawn on the subfloor.
Then trace around the inside of the template so that the shape of the medallion is drawn on the subfloor. Remove the template and set it aside. Use a stud finder to find spots where the router may hit fasteners and mark those spots. When you go over them with the router, move slowly to grind off the top of the fastener and then use a nail set to punch the fastener down, out of the way. In the picture, the parquet tiles are not installed in the area where the medallion will be installed.
Assemble supplied plywood template. The template is assembled by connecting interlocking "keys" in each plywood segment. The inner circle is the same as the outside diameter of the medallion.
If installing in the prefinished or existing floor - skip to step 3. Install flooring per manufacturer's instructions. Assure none of the nails you use to install the floor come too close to the area where the medallion is installed. If the floor is unfinished, sand the floor in the medallion area to assure the template will sit flush to the newly installed flooring.
Line up the template back to the center lines you traced and fasten the template to the floor. If nailing - try to place the nails between two boards, making the small holes easy to disguise. Make sure that the template covers the flooring you have installed. This will prevent overheating and failure of the routing bit. Route around the inside of the template clockwise until you have routed flush to the subfloor. Vacuum between the passes thoroughly. Remove the router template.

Handmade by expert artisans, this floral design crafted from natural hardwood is the focal point you've been search The Reanna waterjet mosaic rondure offers an elegant blossom overlay design in white brown and tan.
This outstanding mosaic medallion will craft a unique counter top inlay wall accent or marble floor centerpiece. The star border comes together to accentuate the center burst in the Brenton Cove wood medallion from Oshkosh Designs. Contrary to what some think, most designs are made entirely piece by piece. None are stained and today all individual pieces are cut either by CNC laser or CNC routing machines, with the exception of some simpler designs that can be made on the jobsite.
My preference of tool is the CNC router, as lasers have a tendency to show minuscule burning on the edges of lighter species. What does CNC stand for? CNC is the acronym for computer numerical control. By way of explanation, a design is programmed into a computer. With the click of a mouse, the whole system performs its automated cutting of patterns. I first saw the routing system through a cabinet maker friend in the early 90's and exclaimed I've only had the chance to see how medallions are made by laser but look for the opportunity to see how they are done by a router system.
The photo above was provided by friends in the Ukraine showing a portion of the CNC routing process. Assembly can be seen in another photo towards the bottom of this page. Such small pieces, yet incredibly precise. The next image shows how delicate pieces can be until they are assembled into the pattern. The outer band in this design are the pieces being cut out in the photo above. Made from natural Wenge, an African hardwood, you can barely make out the seams in the photo.
