4 Benefits of Reclaimed Wood Flooring

Reclaimed wood flooring has 4 main benefits :-

1. Cost benefit - reclaimed wood flooring is generally less expensive than new hardwood flooring. Cost savings are enhanced especially when buying a large quantity of salvaged flooring.

2. Visual - reclaimed timber floors can be stunning and can enhance certain properties. Splits, knots and shakes in the board add character to the floorboard giving it a distressed look. If this aged antique look is not what you're looking for in a wooden floor then it can be sanded back to look almost new.

3. Historical - the idea of 'walking on history' can be apealing when you know where the board came from. All our reclaimed flooring is stored in separate lots depending on where they were sourced from. It may be you are buying a piece of history when you purchase a floor as it could come from a museum, hopsital or perhaps a school or university.

4. Environmental - possibly the most important benefit is the fact that the floor is being reused in a new home instead of being landfilled. It is nice to know that you are promoting the salvage of a valuable resource.
