Once you get him talking about his craft it becomes obvious that he not only takes great pride in his work but is also highly knowledgeable about all aspects of his industry. Gus' passion for flooring came from his teachers. And he puts this passion into every floor he installs or maintains. "I started learning my craft in 1984 in Hungary, where I had a five year apprenticeship with very good teachers. Their priority was on quality rather than profit and their main goal was to teach me how to install, sand and finish new parquetry and floors along with quality skills so that I could be trusted to sand and properly finish 200-300 year old heritage floors in Hungarian Castles, Palaces and Mansions. Not everyone gets that experience in a life time." More than sixteen years of his experience has been in the Australian timber flooring trade. Being a perfectionist, Gus is constantly updating his machinery and coating systems to keep abreast of the latest technology and ensure that his customers will always have exceptional floors. Gus was the first to bring the consistent use of European finishes in the Mid North Coast. He reccomends the use of European finishing products as the European quality (health and safety standards) for these materials are higher than in Australia.
