Generous heavy viscosity construction adhesive on the subfloor and yellow construction glue in the tongue and grooves insure longevity. After the purchase of this foreclosed home, the new homeowners had work to do to bring the condition up to speed. A heavily yellowed and worn hardwood floor did not match the look the owners had in mind. What do you do to a floor that has been used as a wood chopping block and overall heavy wear and damage? Use recycled wood to replace some wood, then distress the floor to mimic and hide the chopping block area and to complete, stain darker to unify color and hide stains that weren't able to sand out!
We sourced recycled items, scouring Craigslist, local salvage yards from Bellingham to Seattle. People donated and volunteers put in over 3000 hours. Project manager, budget, material source, architectural elements, interior designer, exterior revamp designer, supervisor, laborer, scheduler are some of the tasks I held for this project. I admit, I'm a construction recycler! I donate material when I don't need it, and prefer to shop first at the recycle houses prior to new material purchases. I am amazed at the treasures I can find and with a little ingenuity and thought, the recycled materials can had value at a fraction of the cost of new.
We have an awesome supplier for CVG fir. Old trees, cut years ago, left on the bottom of lakes. This mill uses a helicopter and a diver to pull out, kiln dry and mill the wood into flooring! One of my hopes, as a hardwood floor company business owner, is to see my customers get the product they really want! Period. Why would I want to just sell stuff? I am here to solve your issues. The last thing you want to do is not take care in the handling of the wood flooring and preparations to ready for installation.
