Hardwood: Exotic Species, Hand-Scraped, and Reclaimed Plank are New Hot Looks for Floors

 

Exotic woods

Decades ago, the wood of choice for most homes was either red or white oak.  Inexpensive and durable, oak was used in millions of homes across the country.  Little wonder that most people think that oak is the only species of wood suitable or available for flooring.

Now there are dozens of species of woods  from all over the world that offer beautiful, surprisingly affordable looks most consumers never imagined they could have in their home.   Be assured that we only sell wood flooring that is certified and complies with internationally established “green” harvesting practices to preserve rainforest and resources.  These woods are available in solid thicknesses from 5/16” to ¾”, in widths from 3’ to 7”, as well as engineered wood that can be used just about anywhere in the home---even below-grade basements.

Our most popular imported species are: Amendiom, Angelim, Brazilian Cherry, Brazilian Eucalyptus, Brazilian Teak, Macchicato Pecan, Santos Mahogany, Teak, Tiete Chestnut, Tiete Rosewood, Tigerwood, Venetian Walnut, and Victorian Paduok.

Other species are available, so if you are interested in a particular species and don’t see it listed, just ask!   

 

Domestic species

If you prefer the more traditional look of oak or other domestic species, we have a wide variety of woods available.  These include: red and white oak, maple, cherry, hickory, walnut and beech. These woods are also available in solid thicknesses from 5/16” to ¾”, in widths from 3” to 7”, as well as engineered wood that can be used just about anywhere in the home---even below-grade basements.

Hand-Scraped Wood

Hand-scraped wood floors are solid wood or engineered flooring that has been scraped and distressed by hand to give the floor more texture, warmth and character.  Hand-scraped floors are available in a variety of stained colors, as well as natural and unfinished.  Wood species available include oak, walnut, American cherry, pine, hickory, angelim and maple. 

Board widths from 3” to 7” are available, allowing for a broad range of looks from formal to country.  You can even create your own custom look by varying board widths—for instance, mixing 3” and 7” widths to create a custom pattern. Most hand-scraped floors have a durable protective urethane applied for scratch resistance.  These finishes can carry extended warranties of up to 25 years! Hand-scraping adds richness to the floor, but is no more difficult to clean than a regular hardwood floor.
