These are floorboards which are sourced from buildings undergoing demolition or renovation and include houses, schools, woolstores and factories. The boards are professionally lifted and packed in batches specific to their building of origin.

The reclaimed timber generally grown 150 years ago, is of a very high quality and character with a patina that cannot be replicated.

By using reclaimed timber and flooring it helps to minimize the impact of deforestation around the world, an alternative to cutting down more trees which helps in sustaining this valuable resource.
