The Wide Plank Advantage

Wide Boards | Long Lengths
In keeping with original hard wood flooring tradition, Wide Plank International continues to carry the widest and longest flooring planks available in the industry. The use of wider widths and longer lengths reduces the number of end to end seams in the floor, thereby creating a more authentic floor.

Newly Sawn Old Growth Material
Over two hundred years ago, when wide plank floors were installed in the oldest homes in America, the craftsmen of the day used newly sawn old growth material. In keeping with this tradition, Wide Plank International also uses newly sawn old growth planks, not reclaimed. The most accurate reproductions begin with the original material.

Extended Seasoning
Wide Plank International's flooring is uniquely adaptable to different moisture levels, dramatically increasing overall durability and stability regardless of the climate because our lumber spends at least twelve months curing through a combination of air and kiln drying. This dedication to quality gives each customer added assurance regarding the life and appearance of their floor.

Custom Milling
Based on the highest quality standards in the industry, our precision milling creates consistency, greatly reducing or eliminating the need to sand after installation. This unique process insures a far more efficient installation.

Design Services
Our experienced staff works with you to achieve exactly the look required by you or your clients. Our customers receive samples to aid in their final selections of species, stains, and finishes.

Easy Installation
For those clients who elect to have their own builder install our floors, Wide Plank International provides complete instructions with each order. All floors are extremely easy to install and can be applied over:
• Standard joist-plywood systems
• Radiate heat
• Screed systems
• Plywood on concrete slabs
Sanding may not be necessary depending on the species and the application. Complete instructions are provided with each order shipped from Wide Plank International Floors, Inc.

Ease of Maintenance
Our system for finishing floors gives residential and commercial clients a major maintenance advantage. We recommend a Tung Oil finish, a finish that is absorbed by the wood versus coating it. The floor can be easily cleaned with a mild household cleaner (such as Murphy's Oil Soap) and requires no waxing. Our recommended Tung Oil finish can be spot applied in high traffic areas. When it becomes necessary to refinish the entire floor, you do not need to sand off the existing finish. You need only apply another coat of Tung Oil, making for a tidy project that saves both time and money.
