3 Benefits of Buying Mill Direct Wood Flooring Products

Buying wood flooring products directly from the mill not only benefits you, but it also benefits your community and your environment. Many of our wood flooring products come mill-direct. Here are three reasons you should consider mill-direct hardwood floors.

Benefits of mill-direct

Benefit of buying mill-direct wood products
Get locally and sustainably sourced wood products directly from the mill.

No matter what type of hardwood floors you get, the return on investment is outstanding. Mill-direct hardwood will make the ROI even sweeter. When you buy mill-direct hardwood floors, you increase the value and variety. Dealing directly with the mill means there is more transparency about how the products are sourced, increasing the trust between manufacturer and consumer. Finally, you can support your community by buying from a local mill.

Increase value

Cut out the middleman and buy your wood flooring products directly from the mill. The more links there are in the supply chain, the more people have handled your wood before you buy it, the more it will end up costing. Mill-direct products are often more cost-effective than buying from a flooring retailer.

Increase variety

Get more variety and wood to your exact specifications when you buy mill-direct products.

Your local mill or lumber yard will often have more choices in wood species, cut, and size. If you’re looking for more options, check out your local mill. Working directly with the mill to get your wood flooring products will allow you to get the wood to your exact specifications.

Increase sustainability

Mill-direct products are like going to the farmers market to buy your produce. You support local vendors and locally sourced products. The mill will source local, sustainably harvested wood ensuring that you aren’t depriving the earth of natural resources, and you always get the highest quality.
