[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]If Pine were sold like wine it would be easy to find the best pine flooring prices. What a concept that Heart Pine and Pine flooring should be priced based on age, species and region. Remember, Southern Yellow Pine doesn’t refer to any one species. In fact, SYP consist of a dozen species, ranging from Texas to Virginia. Unlike the wine market, the pine flooring industry does not value the diversity of species. If SYP was like wine, Alabama Southern yellow pine would be the measuring stick for all other species.

Caribbean Pine like Wine?
The issue is at question is how does Caribbean Heart Pine fit into the pine like wine discussion? CHP grows faster closer the equator, i.e., creating heart pine faster. That is correct, that deep patina that we love is the same age of our Longleaf version. Our answer? Just enjoy it and tell your friends it is really old![/vc_column_text][vc_message]The chemicals used in manufacturing laminate are dangerous and they are the fastest growing component of our landfills. ’s difficult to quantify what chemicals, will leach from laminates once they hit the landfill. Not to mention the emissions from incineration. To put it simply, this stuff doesn’t decompose, because of all the chemicals and glues, the material never breaks down organically. #buyrealwood[/vc_message][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_message message_box_style=”solid-icon” message_box_color=”alert-success” icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-exclamation-triangle”]

If 3/4 solid New Heart Pine is the $200 bottle of wine, laminated pine ranks around the $5.00 buy one get one free barrel. Technically speaking laminate would be some type of wine cooler, or bi product of wine. Now to take this comparison even further, did you ever get sick on cheap wine the next day, or that night? What about the last time you installed a laminate floor? Remember the biggest retailer of cheap wine (Laminate liquidators) settled a 36-million-dollar lawsuit because they made their “wine” with formaldehyde, but I digress.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
Species, age, growing conditions and available timber
Species and age create heartwood; along the way the character found in color only time can engineer. Patina is a word directly associated with age and light exposure, with older wood the patina is deep and rich; i.e more expensive. Southern yellow pine is not created equal, some are works of art and some a fence.
Advertising by box stores
