How it's made From the first time we talk to a potential customer all the way through to delivery of the final product, our one goal is to ensure that you get exactly what you are looking for. This includes sourcing the right materials, proper machining and packaging, accurate tallies of the various sizes and selection of the best delivery method. Drying lumber is a business all by itself, so we leave that to others, and buy all our material already kiln dried to the proper level (6-8% moisture content). Please review the slide show below to see what goes into making your new floor. Thanks!

Did you Know? The machines we use to do the final milling on our flooring are called "moulders", because they essentially "mould" by cutting away the excess wood needed to make the profile. This process happens on all four sides of the board in one pass through the machine. Our moulders are made by Weinig, a German company with a long heritage of making the finest moulders in the world. The tooling we use to cut the Tongue and Groove profiles is also made by Weinig. They provide us with carbide insert tooling - a technology that uses a disposable insert made to very high factory tolerances to ensure repeatability time after time. When dealing with long length wide plank flooring as we do, it is critical to produce the highest quality milled product possible. We are thankful to Weinig for making it possible.
