To achieve the look of original wide plank flooring, widths of up to one foot are often used.
Procured from American managed plantations and sustainable forests, southern yellow wide plank pine is a renewable resource. It is twice as hard as Northern White pine and exhibits the classic knotty pine look with wide, prominant grain. We cut a #2 flooring grade so while you will have a healthy amount of knots of varying size, you will not have to worry about blue stain and missing knots.
Better (flooring grade) is used for our prefinished wide plank pine flooring. We prefer to produce these floors in random widths (6" - 10") but will be happy to produce in single widths if requested.
Natural to keep the floor lighter or Aged Patina to add a touch of honey to the floor. Latte exhibits a darker, more chocolate brown where Old World is more of a reddish-brown. All floors are available distressed.
Prefinished wide plank pine is end-matched and available in solid only.
Mike and Shelley, founders of the company, continue to enjoy their work with Authentic Pine Floors. Designing the new website, working on financials or helping clients while working amongst family and friends make work fun.
Renovating and building remain their common hobby. Shelley's favorite floor is prefinished "Old Atlanta". She says there is something comforting about living with patina. Worn paint on the china cabinet and wide wooden plank floors give a home a sense of history and serenity.
Their favorite part of life these days is seeing the world through the eyes of their grandchildren.
