Reclaimed Wood Flooring: Beauty, Sustainability, Provenance
Reclaimed wood flooring is milled from timbers salvaged from barns, factories, and historic structures. The tight grain of old-growth reclaimed white oak, the warm amber of reclaimed heart pine, and the chocolate tones of reclaimed chestnut create a patina that new wood simply can’t imitate. Each board carries saw marks, nail holes, and time-softened edges — visual texture that adds depth to luxury interiors.
Beyond aesthetics, reclaimed floors are a sustainable choice. Re-using existing material conserves forests and lowers embodied carbon, aligning with LEED and green-building goals. With proper kiln-drying and milling, reclaimed planks perform exceptionally well — even over radiant heat or concrete substrates when specified in an engineered format.
As certified wood flooring specialists, we guide homeowners, architects, and designers through species selection, widths, grades, installation methods, and zero-VOC finish systems. Start with a personalized consultation or request a curated sample box to review options in your light.
