Reclaimed Distressed Chestnut Flooring – Overview

Our rare Antique Distressed™ Chestnut flooring is made from hand-selected barn wood. The planks ranges in color from medium honey to dark chocolate and contain evidence of their age and their former life including blackened nail holes, insect marks, weathered cracks and maximum patina. This Aged Woods® reclaimed chestnut product is uniquely beautiful with medium character and maximum patina. Due to a blight, this species went extinct in the beginning of the 20th century. The only way to obtain a chestnut floor is from reclaimed wood.

For a lighter color in this uniquely grained wood, see our Reclaimed Remilled Chestnut Flooring.

  • We send free samples after we have quoted material and shipping costs, and lead time, that fits the project budget and timeline.
  • 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.
