What are hand-scraped and distressed floors?
Hand-scraped and distressed wood floors add texture and a unique feel to the surface of the floor. Simply said, these type of floors look “aged” and have an “old world” look and feel. Hand-scraped hardwood flooring is usually done by hand leaving a unique random pattern, but can also be done by machine, leaving a more uniform appearance. Distressed hardwood floors can have the “scraping” features of hand scraped, but usually have more imperfections such as dents, dings, and tear outs, giving distressed flooring a very worn look.
