reclaimed wood:
Reclaimed wood is
used by corporations such as Nike, Disney, Pottery Barn,
Patagonia and Whole Foods Market as well as architects,
designers, builders, developers and hundreds of homeowners
nationwide. FSC Certified reclaimed wood products lead
the charge in promoting forest conservation without sacrificing
quality, beauty or affordability. Reclaimed flooring
is re-milled from tight-grained, old-growth lumber deconstructed
from sources ranging from "urban forest" warehouse
beams to Kentucky tobacco barn siding. Choosing reclaimed
wood flooring for your home is investing in the future
of our planet and the trees we depend upon for our quality
of life.

Many
of us are concerned about our environment and
how our purchases affect the greater world. Buying
FSC certified hardwoods ensures that you are
helping to maintain the vital forests of the
world... whether it be rainforests or other
pristine forests.
FSC hardwoods are independently certified
to be harvested in accordance with sustainable
and well-managed forestry practices as endorsed
by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). These
principles apply to all aspects of production
and harvesting, protecting people, wildlife,
biodiversity, as well as the forests themselves.
Reclaimed hardwoods are salvaged from
sources all over the world. They are made from
timbers, lumber, and wood sources that would otherwise
be wasted.
Purchasing these reclaimed wood productions,
you are not only buying unique flooring of high
character, but preserving the tree's soul in a
sense. Natural
materials have SOUL -you can feel the
difference as you live on and with them.
