Reclaimed Hardwood Flooring
Our reclaimed hardwood flooring comes from 19th-century logging operations in the Ottawa Valley. Each plank is recovered from riverbeds or historic barns, offering unique grain patterns and natural durability unmatched by modern timber. The wood's slow growth and natural aging process create dense, stable flooring that lasts generations. We provide white oak, hickory, maple, birch, and pine options for residential and commercial applications.
Custom Milling Services
We offer custom milling for unique project requirements, including wide plank flooring, trim, registers, and mouldings. Our facility processes reclaimed timber into bespoke dimensions while preserving historical characteristics like axe marks and tool scars. This service caters to heritage restoration projects and modern designs seeking authentic aged wood elements with precise specifications for both residential and commercial spaces.
Commercial Projects
Our team supplies reclaimed wood materials for large-scale commercial developments, including ceilings, walls, and custom millwork. We've completed projects for the Shaw Centre, Omers, TJX, and Ottawa Senators facilities. The service includes material sourcing, project-specific milling, and documentation for eco-certifications. Clients receive sustainable, historically significant materials that enhance commercial spaces while meeting strict construction timelines and quality standards.
Hardwood Installation
We provide expert installation guidance for solid and engineered reclaimed wood flooring. Our technical support covers subfloor preparation, acclimation requirements, and proper finishing techniques. The service includes detailed installation manuals and recommendations for maintaining optimal humidity levels. We advise on appropriate applications based on environmental conditions to ensure long-term performance in residential and commercial settings.
Barn Board Products
Our barn board collection features weathered wood from 19th-century agricultural structures. Each piece retains original characteristics like nail holes, mortise joints, and natural patina. Available as wall paneling, ceiling beams, and accent features, these products bring historical authenticity to modern interiors. We offer reclaimed pine, spruce, and hemlock in various finishes for residential renovations and commercial design projects seeking rustic aesthetic elements.
