Reclaimed wood is used by architects, designers and builders nationwide. When purchasing reclaimed wood products you are not only buying a custom wood floor of high character but also preserving the tree’s essence. Natural materials have SOUL – you can feel the difference underfoot.
FSC certified hardwood promotes responsible forestry practices which are especially important when buying exotic hardwoods from sources outside North America. At a time when we are all concerned about the planet’s health keeping the vast forests of South American and other places healthy is extremely important.
Durability of Hardwood
Custom wood floors can last lifetimes with proper care and maintenance. Now, almost all species are available pre-finished and these finishes are guaranteed to last 20 or 25 years. Hardwoods can be re-coated and re-sanded to keep them looking beautiful for decades.
Hardwood Maintenance
Maintenance and cleaning of these products is very important but also very simple. These hard surfaces should be vacuumed regularly and damp mopped once a week or as needed based on weather and amount of foot traffic. We sell specific cleaners for each product or simply use a small amount of white vinegar in warm water for cleaning.
Do not use any product that claims to add sheen or rejuvenate the finish; these products can eventually build up and prevent professional refinishing at a later time.
We strongly advise using felt protectors on all furniture legs, especially chair legs. And it is important to place walk off mats at outside doors and having carpet runners and area rugs will greatly extend the life of your floor.
