Whether it's pine flooring, oak flooring, or heart pine flooring, all of our reclaimed flooring projects are environmentally friendly and a work of nature's art - a physical expression of beauty beneath your feet. With reclaimed flooring you can be certain that no living tree has been sacrificed, while enjoying the unique elements of authentic wood grains that are simply no longer created in trees of more recent origin.
Our solid reclaimed wood flooring is FSC certified because of its inherent antique, reclaimed nature, and will benefit LEEDS and ENERGY STAR points if you're accumulating them. Of several engineered reclaimed flooring products to choose from, FSC certification is available also.

Hardwood flooring has one of the longest life cycles of any natural building material and has long been a top floor of choice because of the warmth and beauty it brings into our homes and because these floors can last for generations. But antique wood flooring additionally adds a depth of character, richness of color and tight grain pattern styling that has persisted for generations already - whether originally harvested for the factories that built the Industrial Revolution, or as the structure for buildings and barns all across the country that have endured through many seasons.

In some instances, the look of a solid wood floor with vintage characteristics is desired over a concrete slab or a radiant heat system, or because of dimensional stability or repair-ability requirements. For those cases and more, our reclaimed engineered wood flooring of antique and reclaimed wood, offers keen advantage.

Hours of craftsmanship and attention to appropriate production treatment go into each antique wood flooring order we produce. For both standard and custom orders, solid hardwood flooring or engineered wood flooring, each piece of old wood is located and hand selected before being transformed into antique wood flooring just right for your project.

We were green before it was "cool." Having recognized some time ago the durability and beauty of pine wood flooring, WHOLE LOG LUMBER began our solid wood floor operations with reclaimed wood floors of pine at our antique lumber mill in Western North Carolina in 1984. Though pine is not traditionally accepted as being the raw material of a hardwood floor, "Heart Pine" on the other hand, is well known to create reclaimed wood flooring of exceptional strength and stability.

And while the trend to produce products cheaper and faster pervades most sales and marketing efforts, the emphasis of WHOLE LOG LUMBER after more than 25 years is focused on providing to our customers a product of sustainable value at a reasonable price.

More and more people want natural products throughout their home and are looking to create earth-friendly interiors where they can feel surrounded by nature. What could be more natural or earth-friendly than antique wood flooring?

The tried and true character of antique wood flooring can invite a visually stunning spectacle into your home to provide the reliable movement of warmth throughout all your living spaces.

Each panel of green flooring begins as a rare remnant of a tree once standing tall. Defying the elements and persisting through time, an antique wood floor contains examples of the rare, stellar glory of nature.
