This page will
show you what our Premium "Vertical
Grain" Antique Heart Pine flooring can look like in your home.
Premium
vertical grain Heart Pine is usually used where a more formal decor
is desired.
Vertical grain
flooring is all milled from quarter and rift sawn lumber.
As you can see
from the picture to the right, the grain is mostly long straight
lines rather then the usual swirls and arched grain associated with
plank flooring.
At left is a picture of the Premium "Vertical Grain" Antique Heart
Pine in a beautiful seaside home in New England.
The #1Premium grade of Antique
Heart Pine flooring has very few, if any,
nail holes or knots and almost no signs of previous use.
Antique Heart
Pine flooring will darken to a rich amber reddish color with time.
Vertical grain
or "Quarter Sawn" Antique Heart Pine flooring is not available quite
as wide as other grades and right now is readily available in 3"
& 4" planks.
Plank lengths
will range from 18" at the shortest and 7 or 8' at the longest.
This Premium
Plank Antique Heart Pine may have an occasional small tight knot
the size of a quarter and smaller.
We do our
best to grade this flooring so that a very clean and elegant appearance is the end result.
