FARMINGTON, N.Y.—Crafted entirely in the United States by Pioneer Millworks, their new wide version of Eco-Friendly Engineered wood is available in a variety of reclaimed species and grades up to 10” wide, pre-finished or unfinished.
“Since our customers have increasingly requested engineered options, we decided to do something (green) about it,” explains Pioneer Millworks general manager, Jennifer Young. “Not only are we increasing the yield of rarest, most expensive products, we’re driving the price down.”
The new line of eco-friendly engineered products provides the wider look of solid antique wood yet can be applied over concrete slabs and in subterranean spaces. Crafting the line with an extra thick wear layer allows for increased yields on rare species (like Chestnut or Elm) in a more economical option than solid wide width products.
Why the growing need for engineered floors? For starters, they’re easier to install, especially when pre-finished. Engineered flooring is often the best option over concrete slabs or in subterranean applications. They can be glued down. “This line allows us to cover more square feet, increasing our output of rare antique species like Chestnut,” says Young.
The Forest Stewardship Council certified 100 percent antique reclaimed wood includes no added formaldehyde and has a low-VOC adhesive. The wood comes unfinished or pre-finished, is available with precision tongue and groove, and is sourced and manufactured in the United States. Packaging is made from 100 percent recycled post consumer materials, using water-based inks. Reclaimed species available include: ash, chestnut, grey elm, mixed oak, karri and others via special order.
