JANKA HARDNESS RATING
THE JANKA HARDNESS TEST MEASURES THE FORCE REQUIRED TO EMBED A .444 INCH STEEL BALL TO HALF ITS DIAMETER IN WOOD. IT DETERMINES THE WOODS ABILITY TO WITHSTAND DENTING AND WEAR. THE HIGHER THE NUMBER THE HARDER THE WOOD.
SUSTAINABLE FORESTRY
Natures Walk Wood Floors Inc. takes pride in providing quality flooring from manufactures that have the highest standards in sustainable forestry. The health and longevity of a forest is critical to ensure we can appreciate the health and beauty of the forest along with its usage in wood flooring for years to come. Sustained Yield Management procedures are used to establish the replacement of the part harvested by regrowth before another harvest. This keeps the rate of harvest in balance with the growth rate of the forest. These management practices help maintain sustainable communities and sustainable environments.
RECLAIMED LUMBER
Reclaimed lumber is another great option if you are seeking out a floor with a rich history. These century old rustic floors were once used in structures from across the United States. You will find original saw marks from when the timber was first milled or nail holes with some slight staining from the iron nail when used in a building or bridge. The installation of reclaimed lumber in any home will have you telling stories for years to come. Sanding and refinishing of these floors are where dedication to old world craftsmanship truly comes to life. I offer authentic on-site hand scraped floors with the options of square pegs. Each board has a story to tell and its own unique characteristics giving you that truly one-of-a-kind look.
