Wood Flooring Choices

At Historic Floor, we produce, custom design and distribute an extensive line of wide plank flooring in the areas of newly harvested, salvaged, antique and reclaimed flooring. These materials are available in both solid and engineered hardwood floors. In 2005 Historic Floors was selected by Early American Life Magazine as one of America’s best suppliers and was listed in the Directory of Traditional Crafts for its superior ability to replicate materials that are historically accurate.

Wine Barrel™ White Oak is the result of materials that are discarded during the selection process of producing barrel staves for wine and whiskey barrels. Missouri is the largest producer of this material due to the preferred white oak that the Ozark region produces. We curate these materials to produce a rustic floor.

Old World™ Red Oak is considered a “mill run” product, meaning that we yield the entire product from a given log during the production of the material. The result is a rustic red oak flooring material that is highly utilitarian in a home, restaurant or office.
