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
