Mohawk Flooring Using Eco-friendly Construction With Reclaimed Woods
In a previous article we mentioned bamboo as an eco-friendly option for hardwood floors. Now another eco-friendly trend is catching on in the flooring community, thanks to Mohawk Hardwood Flooring: Reclaimed Hardwoods, which are floors created using recycled wood.
The 125-year old company based out of Calhoun, Georgia, has modeled its engineered hardwood floors using woods from dismantled buildings and home architecture, some even 600 years old. In some of the collections, even the old woods natural antiquing and distressing can be seen, which adds to the woods charm and appeal.
Such distressing and antiquing methods can be seen in Antiquity, a line of hand scraped hardwoods featuring domestics like maple, oak, hickory, eucalyptus, pine, elm, and walnut. Antiquity offers a stunning array of exotic hand scraped hardwood floors featuring tigerwood, santos mahogany, gorgeous African padauk, elm, teak, heart pine, and cypress.
For domestics, the Santa Barbara collection is hand scraped and hand beveled, creating the most exquisite, textured hardwoods youve ever seen! Its as if the oak has been brought back to life, with the hand-scraping techniques bringing the woods veins to the surface. Oak Harvest and Maple Light Amber are real crowd pleasers. This collection is super affordable with woods ranging from $3.99 to $4.09 per square foot.
Youll be hard-pressed to pick a favorite with Zanzibar all of the woods in this exotics collection are absolutely stunning! Antique Elm Natural has a buttery, caramel texture, while Antique Elm Walnut has an ethereal glow to it that will take your breath away! Antique Elm Chesnut is equally spectacular with a similar glow, but golden. And African Padauks burgundy cast is just out-of-this world!
Woods in the exotics collection range anywhere from $6.09 to $8.79 depending on the wood used and the extensiveness of the distressing and antiquing techniques. Youll pay slightly more for these woods but its worth every penny when you can have this one-of-a kind floor that not only beautifies your home, but helps protect the environment too.
