Floor Treatment Options
Antique Floor Treatments
Distressed Floors
Distressing is something we can to as a treatment option on any specie of flooring you want. We use a combination of methods to replicate the time worn look of a floor that is 100 + years old. After we install and sand your floors, we distress and treat the floor with a prep product that allows the stain to "age" into the wood. This gives the bumps and bruises that aged look that only comes with years of everyday wear and tear. We then seal the stain and distressing with 2 coats of our exclusive Antique Matte polyurethane finish to replicate the look and patina of an hand-rubbed oil finish. Please refer to our pricing page for more details on this treatment option.
Worm Holes
Worm holes as a treatment option add a look of reclaimed or old aged flooring. This treatment option can be done to any specie of wood flooring we sell, but, it looks the best in our opinion with our SugarPine and NewHeart pine flooring when applied sporadically. We also do it to our Heritage Hickory flooring from time-to-time for customers to reproduce a wormy chestnut look. Please refer to our pricing page for more details on this treatment option.
Hand Scraping
At Historic Floor we can sculpt (hand scrape) any specie of plank flooring to your preference. We recommend this feature where an old world, primitive or castle plank style floor is preferred. These floors are simply unique and extremely warm and charming--no doubt the differentiating feature of any home. People are just "wowed" and overwhelmed by these floors when they see them. Most client comment to us that their friends first question is, "how did you ever save these old floors?" Truth is their brand new, just made to look centuries old. See our pricing page for under Treatment Options for more details.
Blackened Edges
If you really want to add an element of authenticity to a floor, no matter what the specie, talk to us and consider blackend and hand-beveled edges. We literally take every board one at time and hand plane each edge giving it a very historically, old world look. We then blacken the edges with flat black paint. Each plank is then installed, sanded,distressed, face-nailed (or not), stained to your color choice and then top-coated with 2 coats of Antique Matte polyurethane finish.
Wood is a natural flooring material that inherently contains distinctive differences in grain and color configurations. These subtle differences that occur in nature create the beauty, warmth and individuality of each Historic™ floor. The room scenes and photography on this site are intended as a visual guide, as your Historic™ floor may vary in actual color or grain pattern.
