RECLAIMED WOOD
Reclaimed Douglas Fir Vertical Grain Flooring
Around the turn of the 20th century, Douglas Fir Vertical Grain Flooring was recognized as a superior choice for quality and durability. Cutting wood with the vertical grain creates planks that are much less likely to expand or contract with changes in the weather, producing flooring that will maintain its look and finish year after year. Our durable Douglas Fir Vertical Grain Flooring is milled from wood recovered from 19th century timber structures. This premium choice for reclaimed wood flooring highlights the aesthetic of our beautiful red Douglas Fir while providing a durable choice of flooring that will stand up to the areas of highest traffic.
Whether you’re a homebuilder, a home remodeling contractor, or a homeowner shopping for your own project, Manomin Resawn Timbers has stunning reclaimed wood to suit your needs.
Reach out to us with a call or a message to take the first steps towards discovering the antique charm of reclaimed wood.
