Reclaimed wood floors have a unique look to them that makes them a continuing favorite choice among homeowners. In addition to the good looks of reclaimed wood floors, they also have the benefit of being environmentally responsible, which has made them the number one choice among eco-friendly homeowners.
Reclaimed Wood Floors Look Great
The look of reclaimed wood floors appeals to people who prefer a natural aesthetic.
The look of reclaimed wood floors appeals to people who prefer a natural aesthetic. This type of flooring tends to have a warm and rustic look, with a rich patina and a sense of history. For renovating an old house where you want to retain the character and charm of the home but need to install new floors, reclaimed flooring can be just the thing.
Reclaimed floors use wood that has already been used once. The original use isn’t always a floor. Sometimes, a ceiling joist may be sawn into planks to create flooring, or boards that were originally used as a wall are repurposed into flooring. Often, the boards will have a variation in color that can add visual interest to the floor.
Unique Qualities
Another advantage of reclaimed flooring is that you can get wood types that are no longer available new. This can include very wide boards or wood species that are no longer commercially available. Also, the boards were milled and finished differently many years ago, so that saw marks were left on the boards. This adds a unique and rustic look to the boards and is something not widely available in new flooring.
Depending on the source of the floor, and the type of wood, the cost for reclaimed wood floors can vary.
