Reclaimed Floorboards are All the Rage Right Now

Reclaimed floorboards are currently all the rage in the wood flooring world. Now, you all probably think that we are just biased, and, well, you're right; but that doesn't change the fact that the world is becoming more and more eco-friendly and reclaimed floorboards allow you to get a beautiful floor and do your bit for the environment at the same time.

Not to mention the financial aspect. At Mckay Flooring we currently have reclaimed flooring in Beech, Teak, Maple, and many more species, and brands including Clyde and Junkers from as little as £10 per square metre. Anyone who knows floors knows that is a bargain, with new hardwood flooring costing from 3 times that, and engineered hardwood flooring costing about twice that per square meter.

When you see reclaimed floorboards in a warehouse for sale, their appearance ranges from not very nice to nothing special, but once they have been laid, sanded and refinished they are as beautiful and fantastic as if they had been brand new.

Reclaimed Junkers Beech, thanks to Mr Geraghty for the images.

Above is an image of reclaimed Junkers Beech flooring, which as you can see is absolutely gorgeous once sanded down and refinished. You can buy reclaimed Junkers Beech flooring just like it from as little as £12 per square meter with sports lines, which come off during sanding, or without sports lines from £15 per square meter.

The amount of reclaimed flooring that is available is surprising, in our world a hardwood floor is a thing of such beauty that we cannot understand why everyone would not cherish it like a part of their own family.

For any interested potential customers intrigued by the £10 per square meter reclaimed floorboards, that is a type of flooring called Opepe, offering rich dark tones perfect for a modern room. Find out more by clicking here.
