What Is Recycling Flooring And What Are Its Benefits?

by William ABBEY Business marketing
Upon hitting the market with the motive of selecting a floor for your new home, you’ll come across different solutions and options. All are equally better in their own terms and have their unique characteristics and attributes and can be used in all kinds of situations. Amongst all of them, one name would be recycling flooring and in the first instance, anyone would reject the idea, but this should not be done at all. To make sure that this does not happen, we have come up with a detailed post that covers all the aspects of this kind of flooring.



What is it and why should I use it?
  • The first thing worth knowing is that it is made up of recycled timber or the wood that has been re-used.
  • For this, the pieces of lumber used are generally taken from older wooden structures.
  • These structures could be anything like older barns, old houses, abandoned warehouses, factories, etc. that are no more in use and are about to get demolished.
  • This wood is purchased by the companies that recycle them using several steps like trimming off the edges and pulling out nails, and then, re-treating them to prevent rotting.
  • Most people reject the idea of using recycling flooring or recycling posts thinking that the wood is not durable and natural.
  •  However, the fact is that the wood fetched from such resources is actually very strong and generally, perfect for construction purposes.
  • The fact is that it is actually several times more durable than fresh timber and wood used for manufacturing structural hardwood posts.
  • The reason is that this kind of wood dries out completely and become totally resistant to mould growth and other issues that can arise because of moisture present in the wood.

What Are The Benefits?
According to the experts, upon knowing deeply about them, you’ll come to know about the benefits that several and some of them are –

  • One of the top attributes is that it is extremely affordable as compared to using fresh timber for flooring.
  • The timber used for recycling flooring costs just a fraction of new or fresh pieces of lumber and this means that you can get much more than anticipated in your limited budget.
  • Another benefit is that they are eco-friendly and this means that even after using wood inside your home, you would not be damaging our mother nature in any way.
  • You’ll not be responsible for cutting down of any trees just because you are using the wood that was previously used too.
  • One more point is that it has a completely unique beauty and looks that are not seen anywhere else.
  • The reason is that the wood that comes from older trees has a finer grain pattern than what you can see in the wood that was grown exclusively for lumber.
  • Last, but not the least, the recycled lumber or wood is much more durable, harder and stronger than freshly fetched wood.
  • You can be sure that the moisture content is practically zero because they have been drying for many years already, thus making them very hard and sturdy.
