Hand-Scraped Hardwood Flooring

Hand-Scraped Hardwood

Hand-scraped hardwood flooring underpins a certain genre of decorative styles that have been becoming more and more popular over the years. Depending on the other decorative elements you build into your space's design, hand-scraped or distressed wood flooring can create a cozy, old-fashioned vibe. They can also be worked into a design that's aiming for a rustic-chic or even an austere 'European' look.

Hand-scraped hardwood flooring has stayed in style since 1800. A 'fad' with that kind of lifespan might more properly be called a tradition. Craftsmen using centuries-old techniques work the charm and liveliness of handcrafted material into our custom-made hand scraped hardwood flooring.

Hand-scraping hardwood floors is the similar to distressing them. Both are techniques that give hardwood an aged look and feel. Hand-scraped hardwood flooring is low maintenance, and No-Wax finishes protect beautifully with little effort. Another strength of the hand-scraped look that makes maintenance easy is that where dings and nicks in other types of hardwood floors are considered wear and tear, they only add character and enhance the authentic look and feel of a hand-scraped floor. This look can easily be obtained without having to pay installers to do it, which saves you money in the long run.    Collapse ^
