PRODUCT SPECS
All planks are kiln-dried to under 10% (typically 8% +/- 2%) moisture content prior to milling to minimize seasonal movement. Wood does absorb and expel moisture depending on its environment causing changes in shape and dimension; all movement cannot be eliminated. Certain species in particular and wide planks in general are more susceptible to this movement and gaps may occur during the heating season. All planks are precisely milled and graded to ensure a high quality finished installation while preserving the exceptional character inherent in each species, especially the weathered Antique Distressed® products.
All planks are milled with a square top edge, an offset tongue & groove, an undercut bottom shoulder and a relieved bottom face. This promotes a tight face joint and easy installation while allowing the wood to breathe.
All planks are sold in random widths (RW) within the ranges listed in their respective PRODUCTS descriptions (this yields a non-repeating pattern. In other words, THERE IS NO PATTERN!! and random lengths (RL) generally between 1-1/2´ – 12′. (Minimum 3´ length for plank widths of 7″ and up.) Planks are end-trimmed of waste and pre-squared.
All flooring orders are bundled into one “person” bundles, stacked and banded onto skids and shipped via common carrier or contract hauler.
