There are many reasons why you may become enthusiastic about reclaimed wood for the interiors and even furniture for your home, office, or retail store:
- A floor made from antique wood has a unique beauty and defining character that cannot be found in newly sawn timber.
- Recycling wood is an environmentally responsible alternative to cutting down trees.
- Reclaimed wood has been transformed by nature and time into something unique that links us to our past.
- Every one of the floors has a story to tell- that you can retell time and time again.
- Only the most stable timbers were used to build the original structures, supporting them for sometimes hundreds of years; so, you can be confident of the wood’s continued stability in the next phase of its life as a floor.
- Some wood, such as the American Chestnut, can only be found through reclaimed resources.
