Enjoy Traditional Wide Plank FloorsTraditional wide plank flooring recreates a genuine heritage look - whether your house is new or a restored part of history. Handcrafted floor planks can be manufactured from old growth walnut, antique oak and hickory. Other hardwood includes maple, birch and cherry. Eastern white pine was used in many of the old homes in New England and so is prized for its historic roots. Wide plank floors made from hickory are unique - known for their density, resilience and hard wearing qualities. Cherry is the perfect color for formal settings or a country kitchen where it can stand up to years of family living. Wide plank wood flooring made from birch combines red tones with lighter tones at the outer edges of the boards. It is a tough floor that has been popular for years. The dark, swirling patterns of walnut planks offer a sturdy floor to last for generations. Install wide plank floor boards in rustic, formal or country decor - wherever you want the warmth and classic look of wood. Todays finishes make these floors durable and low maintenance. Flooring product lines establish benchmarks for the wood used in their floors. A good quality floor will have the highest amount of character knots, mineral streaks and pin holes while higher grades will have less allowable character. Plank flooring is a product of nature so there will be variations from board to board - no two trees are ever the same. Although hardwood is durable and suitable for use at home, it can dent. This happens because of the cell walls that can and do collapse if too much pressure is applied. Bring out the unique qualities of your home with distinctive wide plank flooring. |
