Creating Fine Wood Floors in Colorado for over 25 years
Wide Plank Flooring
Ward Hardwood offers a large selection wide plank flooring in almost any size. We have access to mills all across the country and do our best to find the lowest prices and the highest quality in wood. Wide plank flooring can come in many types and sizes. Flooring is considered planking when it's width exceeds 4 inches. Planking is commonly milled in widths from 4" - 11" and usually comes in long lengths greater the 5 feet. Flooring wider than 8 inches does not usually come with Tongue and Groove.
Although Wide Plank Flooring can be milled for any type of specifications, in Colorado it is commonly used to create a pleasantly rustic appearance. With large knots, multi-colored boards and long lengths, a wide plank floor can create a warm, mountain home feeling. Ward Hardwood can also provide custom hand-scraping and many other forms of distressing to simulate a time worn, hand-crafted floor . The look can be further enhanced by using a reclaimed wood.
Reclaimed materials are recovered from old barns, warehouses, ships and buildings and then re-milled into flooring. (We can also provide wood for beams and other lumber projects!) Reclaimed woods are truly unique in appearance and character. Much of this type of wood has been rescued from buildings built around the turn of the century. Re-using this old lumber is a great way to keep this American history alive as a part of your home. These recycled woods are most commonly Red/White Oaks, Chestnut, Fir and Pines, but many other woods can be found, such as Mahogany, Poplar, Beech, Spruce Hickory Ash and Walnut. The unique coloring, wormholes, nail holes, mineral markings and miscellaneous distressing combine to create a unique weathered character to the floor that only time could provide. In many cases, we can find out the history behind the lumber used for your flooring!
