Antique engineered floor

In the modern world, antique wood flooring is highly in demand. Antique wood flooring has a certain exotic appeal. Antique wood flooring is better than newly milled wood in appearance and engineering properties. It includes antique pine, antique hemlock, antique heart pine, antique ash, antique elm, antique maple, antique beech, antique oak, antique chestnut, antique barn board and distressed barn board.

Antique wood floorings come in different lengths and widths. Actual antique woods have cracks, knots, nail holes, worm and insect tracks. It requires cleaning and polishing before installation. Most suppliers of wood flooring charge extra for this. Antique wood floors can be recreated, while still retaining their color and attraction. New floors can also be made to look like antiques. Hand distressing is one method that gives an antiqued look to wood. This is done by hand scraping, using planes, chisels, wire brushes, grinders and ice picks.

There are two sources for antique wood. They are from used beams from demolished buildings and barns and from recovered sinker wood. Antique wood flooring is also obtained from old buildings like factories, cotton mills and warehouses.

Antique wood flooring is installed the same way as any hardwood flooring. Antique flooring is accessible in rustic and distressed grades. The distressed grade has character markings and color variations, and it expands and contracts during different seasons -- expanding in the summer and shrinking in winter
