Reclaimed Wood
Many people don’t understand what reclaimed wood is and confuse it with salvaged wood. Reclaimed wood is actually wood that has been used in the past for other structures from the 18th to the early 20th century. It’s appealing to many homeowners who make it a priority to use wood that is recycled, sustainable and eco-friendly. Not only does it have a unique texture, it has a tight grain which makes it a perfect solution for areas in the home that experience a high volume of activity.
Antique Wood
Antique wood flooring is highly sought after since there is limited availability. What makes it stand apart is the fact that it consists of wood that was used for construction before 1920 and from trees that were already hundreds of years old. Our flooring experts work with many interior designers who want to offer their clients flooring solutions that provide a more exclusive feel to their customers.
Antique wood offers one-of-a-kind grain patterns that are not commonly found in any other kind of wood which makes it popular for new construction as well as projects that are trying to replicate a certain look while also offering durability.
Sustainable Wood
For some customers, it’s a priority to use flooring that is friendly to the environment. Sustainable wood is wood that has been harvested in an area that is carefully cultivated to have minimal impact on the surrounding area and is maintained by organizations who quickly replace the trees with new seedlings. Sustainable wood is not restricted to one variety, so other wood species such as mango, rattan, Douglas fir and others are also good choices.
