Everything There Is To Know About Reclaimed
Hardwood Flooring

• Thinking about revamping the flooring of
  your home? Or maybe you are constructing a new
  property for yourself and are looking for
  alternative flooring options that will add more
  aesthetic appeal to the place? Whatever the case
  maybe, I am sure you must have considered going
  for hardwood floors at some or the other point of
  time..
• The reason? They just look downright amazing!
• Of course there is granite and you can always go
  for tiles and marble and even concrete floors
  look really classy these days, but the old
  fashioned wood flooring is just so quaint and
  beautiful that it is hard to resist the urge to
  have it installed in your home. But of course
  there are environmental concerns to be factored
  in your decision here. Think how many trees will
  have to be cut to make the floors of your place!
• What if I were to say none? Amazed?
• That is the magic of reclaimed hardwood
  flooring..
• For those who are new to the concept and feel
  befuddled when you visit the local flooring
  contractor and find a section labeled Reclaimed
  Wood - here is a simple description of what
  this amazing is like.
• Reclaimed wood, as the name suggests is wood
  that is being re-used. Basically there are a
  number of structures across the country that have
  hardwood installed in some or the other capacity
  but are not in use anymore. This wood is then
  torn out of the structure, treated for any
  defects or structural flaws and then available
  for use in a fresh application. In the past, when
  any wooden structure wasnt needed anymore, it
  usually found its way to either a landfill dump
  or maybe a burning site, as a way of disposal.
  But now, this precious wood can be used again in
  other applications, ensuring that no new trees
  are harmed for getting the raw material to be
  used in your new home.

• Let us take things further and understand the
  intricacies of the process.
• I am sure you must be wondering where exactly is
  this wood sourced. Well, the reclaimed hardwood
  floors of your home can come from material that
  was once in use anywhere from an old barn to even
  wine barrels to water towers, bridges, homes,
  wharfs, docks, schools and the like. Structures
  that are no longer in use can yield a surprising
  volume of raw material in the form of reclaimed
  wood that can then be used elsewhere in other
  applications.
• Then there are the quality considerations that
  must be haunting your mind and surely when you
  look at these old structures from the outside,
  you will be convinced that there will be nothing
  of use in there. But trust me, the right eye can
  identify a good piece of wood and there are
  scores of these planks and beams in old
  structures. For example, take a thick piece of a
  large oak beam that is cracked and splintered on
  the outside. If you treat it correctly by milling
  it into smaller pieces, you will discover that
  the inside surface of the wood looks fresh and
  beautiful without the wear and tear of the sun,
  wind and water. And this material can then be
  successfully used as reclaimed hardwood flooring
  in your new home!
