Many people question is really reclaimed flooring powerful, will it last? Purely, indeed it'll as well as remain to last. Genuine strong reclaimed flooring is much sturdier compared to the majority of brand new strong hardwood flooring distributed on the current market.

1. Why Reclaimed Flooring?
Advantages-
Reclaimed softwood or hardwood floors includes: reclaimed European oak, reclaimed French
oak, Reclaimed English oak, reclaimed pine, reclaimed pitch pine, reclaimed Douglas Fir,
reclaimed, teak, reclaimed strip, and reclaimed parquet. The important point being that
because of their age, many years go these old trees and timbers were slow grown timbers, thus
they were and still are tougher and higher quality old wood flooring than the trees grown
today. People ask is a reclaimed flooring strong, will it last? Simply, yes it will and it will
continue to last. A real solid reclaimed floor is more durable than most new solid hardwood
floors sold on the market today.
All species of reclaimed, antique oak flooring present us with good examples. We hear too
many horror stories at the reclaimed flooring co involving cupping new solid oak flooring
imported from abroad mainly China. We hear very few regarding correctly treated, reclaimed &
salvaged oak boards. This is because of the correct moisture content within the reclaimed
hardwood, antique, salvaged, old oak boards. Wide plank oak flooring can also present more
problems but if carefully laced by an experienced reclaimed flooring floor fitter, then the risks
of cupping are minimal.
The quality of these old, antique oak floorboards can be inspected simply by looking into the
grain patterns and tightness within the wood floor. If the wooden oak floor has a dense grain
that feels extremely hard to touch with your finger nail, if the moisture content is between
7-10% and if all careful wood floor fitting trade rules (under floor heating included) are
considered, there should be no problem. Reclaimed hardwood, solid antique oak flooring &
under floor heating can present problems if the wood floor is not supplied correctly or the
wood floor fitting has been completed incorrectly.

2. Popular Reclaimed Flooring Options - Light Tones, Strip Flooring
Reclaimed Solid wood flooring is our passion; our company name states just that. There is
increasing demand for Reclaimed flooring because of the Eco friendly times we live in, we have
many reclaimed flooring options to suit any tastes and budget ranging from £18.50- £200.00
per m2. Maple and Birch strip flooring is a hard wearing and classic option for durable,
reclaimed flooring that will not break the banks.
Reclaimed Maple Flooring: Maple is a fine-grained wood with a smooth texture. Most of the
reclaimed Maple you will see will have been lifted from dance and gym halls; as a result it will
tend to have a thick layer of lacquer and often a dark appearance. Sand backs those layers
however, and you are looking at a very light wood.
Without stain Maple has an incredible shine when finished, and is excellent for making a room
look bigger and feel warmer by reflecting the natural light.
Reclaimed Beech Flooring: Beech is a gorgeous wood in its natural form, with so many variants
in tone, and a gorgeous sound under foot. Anyone who has ever been to a modern sports hall
will most probably have seen beech wood flooring, because most sports floors in UK are
created using Junkers Beech.

wood flooring.
