showcase the unique character of reclaimed lumber.

Flooring offers the ideal application to feature the historical markings and special qualities of reclaimed lumber.

Our flooring is just like other heirloom furniture, made from solid wood (rather than engineered veneer) and meant to endure for generations, growing richer with time. We can accommodate various widths and textures to complete your design aesthetic. The expansive canvas of a floor provides the perfect opportunity to showcase our various antique lumber options.

Antique Oak

This material earned its original patina from its previous purpose in an agricultural structure or an old tobacco warehouse. As flooring, you can maintain that original patina for an organic surface and an old world feel that is very forgiving for high traffic areas, or the oak can be milled prior to installation for a more even surface along with character from its historical use.

French Oak

Sustainably harvested French Oak, with its warm medium brown hue, high density and resiliency, is ideally suited for flooring. This hardwood has low porosity, high density, and high tannin content. While not reclaimed, the French have managed their forests such that each felled tree is replaced with a seedling. They participate in an extensive forest certification system, PEFC, to ensure they will always maintain healthy, old growth forests.

Douglas Fir

Native to western North America, ours is old growth or first generation Douglas Fir. Mostly from old warehouses and agricultural structures, nail holes and other historical markings are common. We offer both a skip-planed and a milled surface.

HEIRLOOM Blend

Like the 19th century barns from which these timbers were salvaged, our hardwood blend contains a mix of beech, hickory, maple, red oak, white oak, and other hardwoods. Early farmers used the logs felled onsite, regardless of species. We, too, have embraced that resourcefulness with this blend for a durable and unique flooring choice.

Heart Pine

Formerly used in the framework to support our nation’s old factories and mills, this strong and durable lumber lends a warm amber hue. It has a tight grain, the hardness rating of red oak, and high resin content, making it a good choice for flooring.

Chestnut

American chestnut trees were once a dominant hardwood species in North America, until the chestnut blight decimated the population to very near extinction in the early 1900’s (fewer than 100 trees remain). While efforts remain to bring back a blight-resistant variant of this magnificent tree, the only source of chestnut lumber is reclaimed. The rich brown in chestnut makes for a stunning floor with a dramatic history.
