Tips on Ordering and Installing Reclaimed Wood Floors

I received this nice note from a customer in Poway, California.  He chose Reclaimed wood floors for his home.  He was quite pleased with how the floors turned out and also with the installer that I had recommended for his project. 

When I received the photos it reminded me that not all Reclaimed Wood floors are created equal.  When considering to invest in a Reclaimed wood floor for your home you want to do your homework on the company you will be purchasing it from and the installation team who will install it. 

Reclaimed wood requires a special attention to detail not to mention a little more TLC to deliver the highest qualiy material and allow for the best installation and final look.   Each should treat the flooring like a fine piece of furniture to waiting to be displayed in a home as a family heirloom.

Before you order a wood floor, and before you being installation check out these helpful tips!

Wide Planks in Small Spaces ~ See it in the Apartment Therapy Small Cool Kitchens 2012 Contest

It is a common misconception that wide plank floors are only meant for big spaces.  The truth is that wide plank boards can accommodate any size space.  In fact, when you use a wide plank hardwood or pine wood board you:

1. Use less boards

2. Create less seams 

3. Make your small space look bigger

4. Make the overall space less busy

Just look at this project featured on Apartment Therapy.  The client used Carlisle wide plank hickory hardwood flooring for their home, and remodeled a space just 96 square feet in size.

Katahdin Log Homes Natural Fit for Pine Flooring

I recently had the pleasure of working with Diane L. of Stamford, Connecticut.  Diane contacted us about her new Katahdin Log Home that being built in Maine.  She was very interested in wide plank pine floors for most of the home.

To design her new Wide Plank Hit or Miss Eastern White Pine floors Diane used our showrooms in Greenwich, Connecticut and Stoddard, New Hampshire.  Visiting our showrooms made her decisions so much easier to narrow down species, color, and the distressed texture that she wanted.

In the end she got exactly what she wanted, with no surprises along the way just a pleasurable shopping experience.
