Why Buy Antique Wood Flooring?
Whether it's pine flooring, oak flooring, or heart pine flooring, a solid wood floor of an environmentally friendly wood product can become a work of art - a physical expression of beauty beneath your feet. And with our antique wood flooring, you can be certain that no living tree has been sacrificed, while embracing the unique elements of authentic antique wood grains that are simply no longer created in trees of more
recent origin.
Hardwood flooring has one of the longest life cycles of any natural building material and has long been a top floor of choice because of the warmth and beauty it brings into our homes and because these floors can last for generations. But antique wood flooring additionally adds a depth of character, richness of color and tight grain pattern styling that has persisted for generations already - whether originally harvested for the factories that built the Industrial Revolution, or as the structure for buildings and barns all across the country that have endured through many seasons.
In some instances, the look of a solid wood floor with vintage characteristics is desired over a concrete slab or a radiant heat system, or because of dimensional stability or repair-ability requirements. For those cases and more, our engineered wood flooring of antique and reclaimed wood, offers keen advantage.
Hours of craftsmanship and attention to appropriate production treatment go into each antique wood flooring order we produce. For both standard and custom orders, solid hardwood flooring or engineered wood flooring, each piece of old wood is located and hand selected before being transformed into antique wood flooring just right for your home.
The Proven Quality of Our Hardwood Flooring
We were green before it was "cool." Having recognized some time ago the durability and beauty of pine wood flooring, WHOLE LOG LUMBER began our solid wood floor operations with hardwood floors of pine at our antique lumber mill in Western North Carolina in 1984. Though pine is not traditionally accepted as being the raw material of a hardwood floor, "Heart Pine" on the other hand, is well known to create hardwood flooring of exceptional strength and stability.
And while the trend to produce products cheaper and faster pervades most sales and marketing efforts, the emphasis of WHOLE LOG LUMBER after 25 years is focused on providing to our customers a product of sustainable value at a reasonable price.
