Reclaimed hardwood floors don’t have to look aged and rustic. Using reclaimed wood can make your home look expensive and sophisticated. There is much variation to reclaimed wood, so one thing is true for all reclaimed wood floors; no two floors are alike.
Reclaimed wood floors
Reclaimed wood is different from board to board. When you choose to have reclaimed hardwood floors, you are getting floors that are unique and personal. Using reclaimed wood is also the green choice, therefore, becoming more and more popular with consumers.
Distinctive floors
Customization is the biggest salespoint for any product or service. Customers want to get a product that is unique to their aesthetic, not produced for the masses. Reclaimed flooring comes from a variety of sources, and are one-of-a-kind. Each floor is distinct, and the owner can work with their flooring contractor to find the perfect layout and pattern of the reclaimed wood.
Faux-reclaimed flooring
You can also get faux-reclaimed flooring. If you have a specific color, texture, and pattern in mind, there are ways to get new flooring to look like reclaimed floors. You get complete control of the aesthetic you are looking for by choosing new wood that is manufactured to look like old, reclaimed wood.
Benefits of reclaimed flooring
Besides one-of-a-kind flooring, reclaimed floors are perfect for a family home. Reclaimed floors have already lived a long life, and they have the “scars” to prove it. There is already a level of patina on the wood, so when you get reclaimed floors, you don’t have to be afraid to step on them. They come with a history, and you and your family are adding to that history with every step you take on your reclaimed floors.
Modernizing reclaimed floors
Since every board is different, you will get a mosaic aesthetic with reclaimed floors. However, there are ways to mute the variations and make the floors more even in tone. Using a matte or low gloss finish, as well as, choosing wood with gray tones is also a good trick for modernizing reclaimed floors.
