PrintProduct Overview
TerraMai’s solid wood flooring offers exceptional beauty, old-growth quality, easy maintenance and distinctive character. Each floor we create comes with its own distinctive story and visual characteristics. All these things combine to make TerraMai floors stand apart from all other flooring options.
We make it easy to choose flooring from amongst our wide range of colors, species and prices. TerraMai floors install using the same techniques as all solid wood, tongue and groove flooring and we receive regular compliments from wood floor installers on our precision millwork.
Our domestic woods include:
- Douglas Fir
- Pine
- Oak
Douglas Fir
Douglas fir was the floor of choice in the West well into the 20th century. Our fir flooring comes in a variety of grades from rustic wide plank to clear vertical grain. Douglas fir is a moderately durable and timeless floor.
Pine
Our classic Pine flooring is a blend of Ponderosa and Sugar pine. Pine floors are ideal where a rich, rustic look is desired. It will show wear over time and will mellow to a beautiful golden tan.

Reclaimed wood is wood that has already been used for another purpose, and has been salvaged for another use. Almost all reclaimed wood is higher-grade wood than the newly-harvested wood sold today--with more beauty, stability, clarity, and density--as it was originally harvested from old-growth forests. Using reclaimed wood leaves forests standing, protecting trees, the watershed, and habitat for wildlife and understory plants. Generally, less embodied energy is used to create reclaimed wood products than to create new wood products or plastic lumber, concrete, or steel. Even reclaimed wood shipped via boat from other continents still contain less embodied energy compared to domestic manufactured products, as sea freight is very energy efficient. TerraMai also does everything they can to keep the financial benefits of reclaiming wood close to community where the wood came from. Wood is an ideal choice for indoor air quality when a nontoxic or natural finish is applied. It's easy to clean and keep dust-free.
