Old Growth Wide Plank Hardwood Flooring offers a variety of looks to complement our antique reclaimed wood products. Whether you appreciate the refined elegance of smooth grained cherry, sought since colonial days for it's warmth and rich tones, or the less commonly seen woods such as locust or sycamore, we strive to ensure that we are able to provide wide plank woods that do not simply match their counterparts that you would see in most flooring displays these days. Our grading ensures that our customers find the right look, either with the more formal premium select grade or the knots and grain character inherent with our country select grade. Our wood is carefully graded and slowly dried to produce extremely stable boards for our wide plank hardwood flooring.

Our Old Growth Wide Plank hardwood Flooring is reclaimed, yet unlike our antique reclaimed flooring, it is reclaimed from the urban forest. As our company progressed, we noticed the large volumes of perfectly sound, wonderful old hardwood trees that were being felled for various reasons from parks, private residences and developments, destined for the landfill. Elmwood Reclaimed Timber, in conjunction with local municipalities, developers and landscapers, developed a tree recycling program, diverting those trees from the landfills, mulchers and firewood lots to our mill. By doing so we are able to offer high quality, beautiful hardwood flooring while at the same time reducing landfill space and preserving one of our quickly disappearing resources. The vast majority of the tress we recover are from the urban core, meaning it came from a park or possibly the yard of a private home. Several of the logs also come from parks and developments where the trees are cut down to make way for new homes or public areas. While it is a shame that all of the trees we receive have to come down, for whatever reason it may be, at least they are finding their way toward a beneficial use.
