Why Choose Reclaimed Wood Flooring

Reclaimed wood flooring offers multiple benefits that modern alternatives simply can't match. These unique floors tell a story while providing environmental, aesthetic, and practical advantages for your home or business.


Environmental Benefits


Reclaimed wood flooring is one of the most sustainable flooring options available today. By reusing existing timber, we reduce the demand for newly harvested trees, helping preserve our forests and natural habitats.


The reclamation process prevents usable wood from ending up in landfills, significantly reducing waste. According to our search results, reclaimed wood flooring installations can add LEED points to construction projects, helping them achieve LEED Certification Designation.


Aesthetic Appeal


Each reclaimed wood floor tells a unique story through its distinctive patina, character marks, and rich coloration that simply can't be replicated in new materials. The natural aging process creates depth and dimension unattainable in factory-finished products.


Reclaimed woods often come from old-growth forests with tighter grain patterns and greater stability than newer timber. These woods frequently feature species that are rare or no longer commercially available, such as old-growth heart pine or chestnut.


Durability and Longevity


Reclaimed wood has already proven its durability by surviving decades or even centuries of use. These materials have fully dried and seasoned over time, making them remarkably stable and less prone to warping or cupping than newly milled wood.


Many reclaimed woods come from old-growth forests with naturally denser, stronger timber than today's faster-grown varieties. This density translates to exceptional wear resistance, even in high-traffic areas of your home or business.
