Frequently asked questions:
Q: Why do I need a 10% waste allowance? A: Reclaimed wood contains natural variations. The 10% ensures your installer has enough material to trim ends and select the best grain patterns.
Q: Can this flooring be installed over radiant heat? A: Specific species like White Oak are very stable, but please consult with your installer regarding moisture barriers and temperature limits.
Q: What's the difference between solid and engineered flooring? A: Solid flooring is milled from a single piece of wood. We specialize in solid reclaimed flooring for its authenticity and ability to be refinished multiple times.
Q: How do I maintain reclaimed wood flooring? A: Regular sweeping and occasional damp mopping with wood-safe cleaners. Avoid excess water and re-oil high-traffic areas annually.
Q: How do you ensure the wood is free of pests or termites? A: Safety and stability are our highest priorities. Every piece of timber we sell undergoes a professional kiln-drying process. By raising the internal temperature of the wood to 140°F for a sustained period, we naturally eliminate all insects, larvae, and fungi. This process also 'sets' the pitch and stabilizes the moisture content, ensuring your wood won't warp or bring unwanted guests into your home.
Q: Can reclaimed flooring be refinished? A: Absolutely. Solid reclaimed flooring can be sanded and refinished multiple times over its lifetime, unlike thin engineered alternatives.
Q: What nail or adhesive should be used for installation? A: We recommend consulting with a professional installer. Most reclaimed flooring works well with pneumatic nail-down or glue-down methods depending on subfloor type.
Q: Is reclaimed flooring suitable for high-moisture areas? A: We don't recommend solid wood flooring for bathrooms or below-grade basements. For kitchens, proper sealing and mats in wet zones are essential.
Q: What width options are available? A: Our flooring comes in various widths from 3" to 8". Wider planks showcase more grain character and create a more dramatic visual impact.
Q: Does reclaimed flooring come pre-finished? A: No — all of our reclaimed flooring ships unfinished. We recommend a site-applied finish after installation for seamless protection at joints and the best long-term result.
Q: How durable is reclaimed oak compared to new oak lumber? A: Reclaimed oak is typically more durable than new oak due to its age and density. It has already weathered years of use, making it stable and less prone to warping. This durability, combined with its unique patina, enhances its value in high-traffic areas.
Q: What is Heart Pine and why is it prized in historic restoration? A: Heart Pine, derived from the center of old-growth Southern Yellow Pine, is prized for its rich amber color and tight grain. It's highly durable and rot-resistant, making it ideal for historic restoration projects seeking authenticity and longevity.
