Antique & Reclaimed Wood

All of our products labeled Antique wood or Reclaimed wood have served in a previous use, usually from an old structure such as a barn or warehouse that has reached the end of its usuable life. All of these woods qualify as materials reuse for LEED Certification. While knowing that you are contributing to the sustainability of our forest resources is cool, the connection to our past is even more cool. Most of the wood can be traced to a general sources such as the Tobacco Oak originating from tobacco drying barns in Kentucky. Other times we can trace the source back a very specific structure that include: Spiegel Catalog Warehouse, Heinz, Buster Brown Shoe Factory, Dan River Mill and the list goes on. Even if the source is not so romantic you know that re-using such a basic resource is not only the environmentally friendly thing to do, but it is also the design friendly thing to do as our wide range of Antique wood and Reclaimed wood can become the "wow factor" in any design. The options inclue Antique Timbers, Barn Siding, Hand Hewn Timbers, Antique Wood Paneling, and of course, Antique Wood Flooring.

FSC Certified Wood

Certification is the only way to know for sure that the FreshCut wood you use has been harvested in an environmentally responsible way, and the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is the largest timber certifier in the world. As a standard practice on most of our FreshCut hardwood floors we mill FSC Certified wood. The FSC Certification qualifies for the Certified Wood credit of the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) program of USGBC (United States Green Building Council). FSC Certification is the standard practice of HistoricWoods, it is what we do. Unlike the many other suppliers who sport the FSC logo on their marketing materials and sell a few FSC Certified floors a year to keep the certification while the vast majority of their business is uncertifed, we are committed to FSC Certified woods and go "all in" to that committment. We have also established proprietary grading designed to use the entire board in as wide and long of a plank as possible to get more flooring out of the same amount of lumber. You will see wider and much longer planks in your delivered floor allowing for fewer end joints and thus, a cleaner appearing installed floor.
