This reclaimed wood flooring is remilled from tight-grained, old-growth lumber taken from deconstructed buildings, salvaged from waterways or urban areas, or cut from standing dead or wind-fallen trees. It benefits the environment because it offers the beauty and function of wood while still leaving forests intact--as well as the soil protection, oxygen and habitat they provide.

They also make a point not to salvage wood from buildings that have historical relevance. This preserves our human heritage.

These woods are some of the most natural and nontoxic woods available. Since much of the wood was cut decades ago, it is well-weathered and will not add anything but beauty to indoor air quality.

Since 1992, EcoTimber has promoted forest conservation worldwide by selling sustainably-harvested and reclaimed wood products. We back our products with a commitment to excellent quality, friendly service, and competitive pricing.

Our suppliers’ forestry practices guarantee a perpetual yield of high-quality timber while maintaining or restoring healthy, self-regenerating forest ecosystems. EcoTimber specializes in wood products from forests that are certified well-managed according to the rules of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). We also offer wood that is reclaimed from old buildings, and wood alternatives such as bamboo. EcoTimber thoroughly researches its sources, maintaining the highest standards in choosing genuinely eco-friendly products.

When you buy from EcoTimber, you’re not just buying the finest wood products available. You’re casting a dollar vote for sustainable forestry. Or you’re re-using top-quality wood that would otherwise go to waste. Either way, you are helping conserve forests through responsible wood use.
