Plank Flooring Middletown NY

Heirloom Quality

In Middletown NY plank hardwood flooring is generally the term used for any hardwood that comes in 3” or greater in width. Narrower hardwood is called strip-wood. Hardwood plank flooring comes in almost as many varieties as there are wood species: maple, cherry and oak, to name just a few.

This style of wood flooring, that first gained popularity in North America with the American settlers of the 17th century, who used plank flooring cut from old growth trees, has really been experiencing a resurgence in the past decade. Wider planks, even up to 12” in width, are becoming popular in residential settings. In fact, there has even been a movement recently to reclaim planks from old building and repurpose them in modern settings.

If you like the plank look, there are many options. Shaw Hardwoods and Anderson Hardwoods, two of the primary flooring manufacturers, both offer wide planks. Some styles are actually hand distressed to replicate the reclaimed look and give the plank a vintage feel.
