Reclaimed Character Heartpine Product Details
Antique Reclaimed Character Heartpine Flooring – Overview
We remill our Antique Character Heartpine flooring from reclaimed factory and warehouse timbers. Planks contain 50% – 100% heartwood, nail holes, tight knots and some checking as evidence of the wood’s former life. This is a very durable floor that represents the Classic Heartpine look that works well with both rustic and contemporary decors. with a lot of character and minimum patina.
Out of all of the trees native to the U.S., Heartpine, a.k.a. heart of pine or Pinus Palustrus, has the most interesting history. Heartpine trees, for the most part intact as TREES, were taken from the Colonies back to England to be made into ships’ masts for the Royal Navy. Long, straight and especially strong, they were ideal. The tree’s use for ship building didn’t stop there; the tar pitch was used to seal the wooden hulls. After independence, America’s Navy continued using the valuable resource.

- An Aged Woods® sample consists of 3-4 pieces of the product. We send multiple pieces to show more of the range of color and character of a product than a single piece. Our samples should be used in conjunction with the photos and descriptions on our website to decide which product will suit your needs.
- To place an order remit a deposit that is 50% of the material costs, i.e. the total minus the shipping cost/2. The balance, including an updated shipping cost, will be due just before shipping.
- We accept payments via ACH, checks and Zelle®. Because of the fees we do not accept credit cards.
- Installers are very important in determining how your Aged Woods® floor turns out, so it is equally important for that person (or persons) to be experienced installers with, ideally, some experience with reclaimed wood flooring.
- That said, we are happy to discuss installation and finishing with our customers. Some might want to do it themselves.
- We are just as happy to discuss the product with the installer(s) if they have any questions.
