The Ultimate Consumers Guide to Reclaimed Hardwoods

What is “Reclaimed Hardwood”? It sounds Used and Cheap!

Well, you got one thing right. Reclaimed hardwood is simply flooring that was installed elsewhere some time ago, and is now recycled into semi-new hardwood flooring. Hey! That makes me think it won’t last long… Ah, but you would be mistaken, good sir/madam. Reclaimed wood flooring has the same durability, and in fact, most of the same physical characteristics of new hardwood floors but one: the look.

What’s so special about the way it looks?

It looks old, distressed, dented and used even. But therein lies the charm: reclaimed or sustainable hardwood flooring has an incredibly unique appearance. It purposely is left looking used and faded, and the result is amazingly, beautiful looking vintage floors. Every grain, stain, and drain in the floor is intact, giving the flooring a character of age; old-fashioned but sophisticated, worn but clean. It’s all the rage now in high-end homes in prestigious neighborhoods like Beverly Hills, Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Santa Monica, Bel-Air, Brentwood and West Los Angeles, plus not to mention the environmental benefits on our forests. The unique look of vintage hardwood floors is priceless and highly desirable by today’s trend setting interior designers and upscale real estate agents in the Los Angeles area.

Wait, What Environmental Benefits?

Reclaimed hardwood is recycled, and thus has little negative impact to no impact on the environment. As well as its minimal impact, it requires much less processing, drastically reducing the industrial waste and pollution of producing it. Besides, being green will keep green in your pocket! Our expert sustainable flooring services in Los Angeles stand out above the rest and have done so for over 30 years.

What do you mean, “Green”?

Just that, Guilt-Free Wood Flooring. While great for the environment, reclaimed wood flooring is also great for your budget. On average, reclaimed wood of any type is dramatically less costly than new wood of the same type; and since it’s as durable as new wood, it’s a win-win situation.

Okay, I’ll Go Green and get Reclaimed Hardwood Floors but What kind, though?

The best answer is, Any. Engineered or solid, unfinished vs prefinished; as long as the manufacturer produces the new, it’ll most likely have a reclaimed version. So if you’re in the mood for a soft-colored white oak, or a demandingly dark walnut, it’s all here and made available to you here at Century Floors by professional Los Angeles flooring contractors who have dealt with sustainable flooring for decades.
