Solid Unfinished Hardwood Flooring in Atlanta

Rustic Floor Supply offers unfinished hardwood flooring at our Atlanta, Georgia location. Solid unfinished hardwood flooring stands as the premier choice in flooring materials, combining the advantages of other flooring options with fewer drawbacks. With solid unfinished hardwood, you gain full control over the final appearance of your floor. You can select the wood species, texture, and stain that align with your design preferences and finish the wood to your exact specifications. Comprising entirely natural, organic wood with no artificial components, solid unfinished hardwood embodies a timeless and classic selection. Additionally, it can be refinished and restyled to acquire a completely new look. In contrast, other materials such as engineered hardwood and luxury vinyl (LVP) attempt to replicate the authenticity of solid hardwood. Prefinished solid hardwood also falls into the category of imitation, as it’s essentially pre-stained and finished. When it comes to versatility and natural beauty, no other flooring material can rival solid unfinished hardwood.

• Plain Sawn Flooring:
  This traditional method involves cutting logs into hardwood, resulting in the most usable wood. Growth rings are mixed throughout the face of the flooring, and at the ends of the boards, they create cathedral arches.
  
• Live Sawn Flooring:
  An increasingly popular choice, live-sawn flooring imparts a unique look to the boards. It offers more character and distinct grading compared to plain-sawn flooring, with character variations on the boards. Live-sawn flooring is gaining popularity in Europe and Asia. It retains the cathedral style of plain-sawn boards but typically positions it in the middle of the plank, with more straight grain along the edges.
  
• Quarter Sawn Flooring:
  Quarter-sawn flooring results from quartering a log and then cutting these quarters both vertically and horizontally. This method creates a unique appearance with flecking but lacks the cathedral look found in other cuts. Quarter-sawn wood is more stable and less prone to warping than plain or live-sawn flooring. However, it’s often more expensive due to the increased waste generated during production.
  
• Rift Sawn Flooring:
  Rift-sawn flooring is derived from the outer edge of the log, cut at a different angle than quarter-sawn flooring. This cutting process produces a uniform style with less variation than other cuts, making the grain appear to run in a single direction.
  

Unfinished hardwood flooring stands as a timeless choice, not only in Atlanta, Georgia but throughout the United States. It has proven its longevity over decades and even centuries, with wood floors installed in castles during the 1600s still enduring today. Unfinished hardwood flooring is the superior option for any floor, offering sustainability, job opportunities for Americans, enduring quality, and timeless aesthetics. Its high level of customization is a remarkable feature, allowing you to easily alter the color, texture, or sheen through a simple sanding process. No other flooring product provides this level of customization for years to come. In cases of water damage, there’s no need to remove the entire floor and contribute to material waste; you can simply sand and refinish the affected areas. Despite the noise from stores that lack comprehensive knowledge of flooring and promote other products, wood remains an exceptional option. It’s important to note that while Rustic Wood Floor Supply offers other products, we prioritize informing you about the best choices.
