Aged Woods®-Rustic, wide plank antique flooring recycled from old barn wood.


	Our Aged Woods® products contribute to LEED NC 2.2 / CI 2.0 MRc3 and are eligible for MRc5






	Our Aged Woods® brand flooring is precision-milled from old, reclaimed, destined-for-the-dump barn wood. Our kiln-drying/heat treating process before milling assures a stable, bug-free floor. The look of these antique woods is the natural result of a century or two of weathering and the signs of old-time craftsmen. Aged Woods® floors are the sustainable choice to add unique and authentic rustic character to residences, retail stores, restaurants, casinos, country clubs, etc. Installations can be found all around the world! And our Yesteryear® brand flooring also adds rustic character, but at a LOWER price point. It is milled from specially selected new growth wood and is available in wide widths and long lengths usually not possible with reclaimed wood. And of course, our Yesteryear® brand flooring comes with our usual high level of quality, consistency and service.

		*LEED® AP on staff!* - We are proud to announce that on March 17, 2009, our company president, Jeffrey Horn, earned the LEED® Accredited Professional designation. Jeff is available to assist you in using our green building materials on your project.



CERTIFICATION IS NOT REQUIRED FOR RECLAIMED ANTIQUE WOOD! - Certification, FSC or otherwise, adds nothing to authentic reclaimed wood except additional cost. In fact, LEED® requirements specifically exclude it from the MR7 Certified Wood credit calculation. Please ask us about it!



	ASK ABOUT "GREEN" FLOOR FINISHES! Stay in green mode and compliment your Aged Woods® or Yesteryear® floor with an environmentally-friendly finish! We recommend the GREENGUARD-Certified high-performance, low-VOC finishes in the Bona Environmental Choice System™ (ECS). After installation, Bona's floor care system, consisting of a non-toxic, waterborne cleaner specifically designed for polyurethane-finished hardwood floors and a reuseable microfiber mop for cleaning and eliminating dust and allergens, will allow you to care for your Aged Woods® or Yesteryear® floor while protecting your indoor air quality and the environment.



	*Gluedown of solid plank flooring now supported by wood flooring industry!* In recent years, advancements in adhesive technology and moisture retarders have made it possible to successfully glue solid wood flooring to concrete slabs. The key is using adhesives with a high degree of elasticity that allow the same seasonal movement that occurs in naildown installations. Please contact us for details if you would like one of our floors installed directly on a slab *ON-* or *ABOVE-GRADE. Gluing to slabs BELOW* grade is *NOT* supported. For those applications, we have our ERA® engineered reclaimed antique flooring!

Proof that Wood Flooring is Green - NWFA Industry Research Foundation's Life Cycle Analyis for Solid Hardwood Flooring
Public awareness about environmental issues is at an all-time high, & increasingly, consumers are doing their part by choosing products that have a minimal impact on the environment. Fortunately, the facts are clear: wood flooring is the only flooring option available that is completely sustainable. In addition, wood flooring also has the least impact on our environment. It's carbon neutral, uses fewer fossil fuels in its production, has less water consumption in its production, & has the longest service life of all flooring options. Need scientific evidence? Take a look at the NWFA Industry Research Foundation's Life Cycle Analysis for Solid Hardwood Flooring conducted by the University of Wisconsin. The study analyzes the environmental impact of wood flooring & several flooring alternatives. Each flooring type is compared for harmful air emissions, water consumption, total primary energy consumption & product life expectancy.

Wood Floors Last a Lifetime
Wood floors are the most environmentally friendly flooring option available. Scientific evidence indicates that they use less energy and water to produce than other flooring alternatives, and that they come from a renewable natural resource – trees. Add to this the fact that wood floors can last a lifetime, and it's easy to see how wood floors can have a huge impact on the environment not only today, but in the future as well.

How is that possible? According to a study conducted by the National Association of Home Builders called "How Long Things Last," wood floors are rated to last 100-plus years. No other flooring option available lasts as long, which means other flooring alternatives will need to be replaced sooner, using more resources to produce and creating more landfill waste to discard the old, worn-out material. The wood floors you install today will be there for your lifetime and beyond, which makes them a sound environmental flooring choice.
