Reclaimed Flooring: Pretty Patina

Reviewed by:
The Old House Web

Modern technology can't duplicate the rich patina of antique wood.

This heart pine flooring is salvaged from old barns and is milled and kiln-dried to kill wood harming insects. The finished product retains its original patina.

Old pine had the benefit of a long, slow groth period, making it more more durable than today's softwoods.

Because this is reclaimed material, finished products will have minor imperfections such as nail holes and other scars.

  • Heart pine flooring in random widths of 3" to 12" is priced at $7.25 to $10.25 per square foot (January 2006).
