Cut and milled about 100 years ago, this wonderful Reclaimed Oak Flooring has been carefully removed from turn-of-last-century North Texas buildings now scheduled for demolition. Install this old world flooring into your home and you will see a beauty that was only found in the ancient oaks that are no longer available for new lumber or flooring.

Our Reclaimed Oak flooring is appropriate for many home styles, it provides warmth and sophistication to an elegantly styled home, or match the solid simplicity of a craftsman or mid-century ranch house, and fit's perfectly with the clean lines of a contemporary.

Plank Dimensions

Thickness	3/4 inch
Width	2-1/4 inch

Process

Our supplier works with local demolition companies and salvages re-usable lumber by employing a team of experienced carpenters to skillfully remove the wood flooring before the heavy equipment rolls in. The oak planks are taken to a local mill and sorted, closely inspected for any signs of infestation and de-nailed.

We recommend installing the flooring as is (with original surface) and then sanding the top smooth before finishing. But we also offer the flooring with a reconditioned surface, which is a newly planed top surface; this process removes the old finish and approximately 1/16" of the thickness. Even if you select the reconditioned flooring, your installer will sand the floors after installation to give total floor consistency and to achieve final surfacing before finishing.

LEED Elidgible

The Reclaimed Oak Flooring is 100% reused and provides credit towards your LEED certified project. Also, as the flooring is removed from buildings in North Central Texas, if your project is within Texas you can receive credit for using locally sourced materials.

Installation

The planks are tongue & grooved and installs like ordinary hardwood flooring, with nails driven diagonally through the tongues so that nail heads are hidden. After installation, the flooring should be sanded and finished in place. We recommend either using a natural penetrating oil such as AFM Penetrating Oil or a low VOC top finish such as AFM BP Polyureseal.
