TRADITIONAL FLOORING  / Wood Flooring

Reclaimed and plantation-raised hardwoods, fir, and pine. Wide planks. Parquet and marquetry.

Thanks to reclaimed wood from abandoned factories and barns, remilled wide-plank floorboards are available from specialty lumber companies. Reclamation means you can get species tapped out a century ago, including longleaf heart pine and chestnut, without a single new tree being harvested. Usually measuring about 2-1/4-in. wide, strip flooring is made up of random-width, edge-matched boards in hard, durable woods such as maple, oak, and heart pine.
