Reclaimed Wood Flooring
Written by Urban Sherp on August 7th, 2008
I saw the most amazing rennovation–a bar had taken the lanes from an old bowling alley and repurposed them into this amazing wood floor, complete with those little arrow markers to keep you from going into the gutters. Really was a stunning piece of work. And got me thinking–could I do the same? Could not think of a better way to honor my grandparents both avid bowlers and owner’s of a great little bowling alley.
Fortunately, more and more salvage yards have found the value in offering reclaimed wood flooring, salvaging perfectly good wood from a landfill. There are a multitude of unique and exotic hard woods available. There are a ton of offerings out there–so the next time you install a wood floor check out reclaimed alternatives.
Check out Restore in Springfield, Ma and Longleaf Lumber in Cambridge, MA or search in your own area for salvage yards.
