Reclaimed Mixed Species

T&G Reclaimed Mixed Species

Reclaimed hardwood floors

Choosing reclaimed hardwood for your floors is the ultimate “green” choice and one that weighs heavily in a customer’s choice of wood. Environmental responsibility is the number one trend, not just in hardwood flooring, but for any material that you use to build and maintain your home. If new mill direct hardwood flooring from a sustainable forest is like driving a Prius, then using reclaimed wood is like riding a bicycle.

Wide plank hardwood flooring

If you live in an old Colorado home or mountain style cabin, wide plank will help keep the rustic, historic integrity of your home. Of course, wide planks come in all types of wood, and can be made to fit the aesthetics of a sleek, modern home, as well as an old farmhouse style home from the Colorado plains, to the Rocky Mountain range. Wide planks can make a room more harmonious, instead of slimmer planks that can make a room look too busy.

Reclaimed, wide plank, black hardwood floors are huge right now.

A black or dark chocolate wide plank floors can be a bold, dramatic statement. Matching dark floor with light colored furniture will prevent the room from appearing smaller. One thing to take into consideration is that dark floors are made dark using a stain. If a scratch appears on your floors, it will be more visible as the natural light wood will shine through the dark stain.
