How is the process of reclamation done?
Reclaiming antique building materials involves a number of detailed and dedicated steps. First, we find obsolete structures that were built using historic woods such as antique heart pine, antique oak, and wormy chestnut, then carefully remove them – saving them from the landfill and extinction. As the timbers are removed we select the finest ones, de-nail them by hand, and send them to the sawmill to be converted into flooring. Our sawmill runs these historic timbers through a tedious and perfected process that includes kiln drying – to safe-guard against shrinking and swelling – and precision tongue and groove molding – to ensure maximum strength and support. The result is a floor with an unmatched beauty, history, and character.
