Bringing History Back to Life

Searching for the perfect hardwood floor to install in your next project may seem like a lengthy process, but this step is only a small portion of an antique reclaimed board’s lifetime. Hundreds, maybe even thousands of years ago, an antique reclaimed floor began its journey. Age and experience shaped its character and molded its beauty unlike any other, so each board could tell a story that speaks to you. This flooring is more than antique reclaimed wood, it is a narrative that you will forever be a part of.

The Life Cycle of Your Antique Reclaimed Floor

Antique reclaimed flooring has stood the test of time and carried American history through every milestone. From growing roots to modern installation, every part of the process contributes to the authentic appearance of these stunning products, some of which are extinct or now protected.

1. Since the beginning of time, trees have abundantly grown across the land in beautiful colors and seeds continue to be dispersed and are carried by Mother Nature until they reach their destination. Here, these seedlings will begin their life as a tree – growing tall and standing strong.

2. Through wind, rain, and sun, these young trees continue to gain strength and determination. This unwavering commitment to stand tall and grow with adversity is something that is admired by many. For years to come, these trees mature and develop tighter growth rings that lead to a sturdy, dignified stature.

3. Once artisan builders recognized the structural integrity of these old growth trees, it was only a matter of time before they began utilizing their surroundings. Logging the tallest trees to build a stable framework became more efficient and effective each day. A favorable material for homes, barns, and businesses, this old growth lumber worked to protect and house families, animals, and work.

4. These structures that were once so lively, eventually stand again, through wind, rain, and sun, this artisan architecture gains strength and determination in a different form.
