Imagine your rooms finished in your favorite wood in long, wide distinctive plank floors once found only in historic period homes. The wider plank flooring, in longer lengths portend quality that stands out as a cut above the rest. There is no crisper, cleaner, longer wearing, more attractive floor available.
Common strip-width flooring generally measures 1-1/2 or 2-1/4” wide; the 1-1/2” as is often found in late Victorian and turn of the century homes. Plank-width flooring describes flooring measuring 3” wide, running commonly up to 8”. Depending on wood species, some woods are available even up to 12-14” wide. Be aware that the wider the boards, the more care should be taken to ensure proper environmental conditions to minimize cupping and separation between boards.
