Reclaimed Antique Flooring
Experience the rich patina, unique beauty, and rugged durability of Reclaimed Antique Flooring.
E.T. Moore sources our highly prized Reclaimed Antique Flooring from Industrial-Era textile mills, old barns, and agricultural buildings along the Eastern Seaboard and Midwest. We then carefully ship the salvaged wood to our facility, where it undergoes a proprietary refurbishing process that brings out its stunning natural beauty.
Throughout our 50-year history, we have refined and developed the best grading process for our flagship product, Antique Flooring. Thanks to our skilled craftsmen and processes, most orders ship in two weeks or less.
The Beauty of Reclaimed Antique Flooring
Reclaimed Antique Flooring offers a wide variety of rich colors and deep patinas. The unique grain patterns can vary from a straight comb to wavy cathedral grain, and colors can range from light cream to deep burgundy.
We use a proprietary grading process that selects only the best reclaimed wood at the salvage site. Raw materials are separated and graded by knot content, grain density, like sizes, and demo damage.
Once the raw wood arrives at our facility, we resaw, trim, and grade again according to knot size/content, nail hole size/content, heartwood content, and grain density/orientation.
This thorough process allows us to match almost any samples you provide while bringing out the distinct beauty characteristics of each piece of antique reclaimed wood.
The Benefits of Reclaimed Antique Flooring
Reclaimed antique flooring offers a wide range of benefits, such as:
- It possesses a natural beauty and character that’s near-impossible to find in modern wood flooring.
- There are various colors, grain patterns, and rich patinas to choose from.
- Overall, it is harder, stronger, and will hold up many times better than today's lumber and composite materials.
- Reclaimed wood is the ultimate recyclable. Reuse of this material started because its quality far exceeds today's lumber.
- This naturally helps to limit deforestation by completely utilizing this finite renewable resource.
The durability and strength of this tongue and groove harvested selection will add long-lasting value for many years to come. We have many reclaimed wood floor options, including wide plank flooring and custom sizes.
