Yes, you can have real wood floors, even with concrete sub-floors because, yes you can glue real wood. The solution is adhesive that moves like a nail, (Bostiks Best) but I digress. The reasons “they” tell that real wood is not the right choice for your home or business, are revolve around the old adage that ‘time is money’. Real wood takes time, has no big commissions or sales contest and does not come in a box from a shelf, or it shouldn’t anyway. Read more about milled to order products.
Finish to order our Southern Pine
Did you know that we can take our 12′ boards and finish them based on your specifications. Yup, finished to order. Not to be confused with prefinished box store pine floors. A factory or flat line finish is not something that becomes affordable without some volume, so sometimes smaller projects will not work, for people with budgets. In fact, you can finish your cabinets, stairs and trim, all in the same place.
Real wood is not more expensive
Do you know why every little town with more than 500 people has a floor covering store? Carpet brought repeat business which meant stores and franchises, you know capitalism.
HINT: When a salesperson uses the words laminate and hardwood in the same sentence, it is like using tin foil and bullet proof vest, as in neither is ever used in the production of the other.
The only places that should ever use laminate are hospitals, schools and prisons. Do you know how much carpet sits in our landfills today? About 22 lbs for every resident, as of 2022. Guess what is gaining every year? Yep, laminate and LVT which all use chemicals, some with a 1000 year half life. Capitalism is good when the public is educated not indoctrinated, said the guy with an Economics degree who now sells wood.
Southern Yellow Pine Direct is the homeowners best advocate and source of truth. We do not sell anything composite. Our floors are engineered by God, or Mother Nature your choice.
