When looking for antique wood floors, many consumers are first impressed by antique wood's natural beauty & durability. Consider another positive aspect of decorating with wood flooring and paneling; it's environmentally sound.
Besides being beautiful and hardwearing, buying reclaimed wood floors is an environmentally responsible and earth friendly opportunity. As Sustainable wall coverings, paneling walls with antique & reclaimed wood offer the homeowner a recycled natural resource which in most cases is not renewable, yet preserved to find a second life by those of discriminating taste.
And because wood does not absorb dust and other allergens, many leading health associations agree that wood floors and wall paneling are the perfect choice for a healthy home.
When buying antique & reclaimed wood, the challenge is to think long term rather than first cost. For instance – solid hardwood floors never need to be replaced and add thousands of dollars to the value of a home.
Wood floors offer an incredible array of aesthetic options, too. From the kind of wood, to the finish, to the design of the floor pattern, antique wood floors will suit almost any taste and circumstance.
