Antique and wide floorboards
When installing wide plank floors in your home, it is important to pay attention to where the planks are coming from. In general, wide planks come from harvested wood. Nowadays it is difficult to find boards made from freshly harvested wood. This is because there are not many trees left that provide wide planks for floor laying. This also means that the wide planks available for floor laying come from multiple sources. These are generally milled from reclaimed wood, recycled old wide planks, or from mature trees. You’re not investing in something unique that can reflect antiquity unless you’re investing in boards that are really good.
