Since colonial times Southern Pine floors have proven to be extremely durable and attractive additions to homes, schools, churches, and all types of commercial structures. With its distinctive grain pattern, the beauty of Southern Pine floor is renowned by designers, builders and homeowners. Rawles-Aden can provide you with all types and grades of Southern Pine flooring for whatever your appearance or service ability criteria might be:

• Narrow strip or wide plank
• Tight Knot rustic appearance, or clear, no knot formal appearance
• "Flat Grain" (standard sawn) appearance, or "edge" or vertical grain configuration

Flat or mixed grain flooring is commonly referred to as "flat-sawn" flooring. It has a growth ring configuration parallel to the wearing surface but, in general, it is graded and sorted irrespective of the wood grain orientation, and, consequently is considered "mixed grain" flooring.

Another grain configuration that can be specified is edge or vertical grain flooring, where the growth rings are perpendicular to the flooring wear surface. This product is equivalent to "quarter-sawn" material in hardwood flooring. Edge-grain flooring has a harder wearing surface than flat grain material, and is desirable for high-traffic areas such as kitchens, hallways or family rooms. Commercial or institutional floors for offices, schools, retail or industrial environments resist wear and indentations better by using Southern Pine edge-grain material.

"Antique" Heart Pine Plank- This flooring is manufactured from reclaimed Southern Pine lumber originally used in timber form to construct factories and warehouses in the mid to late 1800's. Flooring from this wood is very durable due to its slow growth, and large percentage of red heartwood. It is also beautiful in its presentation, due to its rich diversity of color. Rawles-Aden features antique reclaimed heart pine flooring in vertical grain or flat grain in either rustic or more formal grades. Contact us for more information and for samples.

Honduran Heart Pine Flooring - We proudly feature single or random width flooring from Longleaf pine logs grown in managed forests from this Central American country. Although the grain of this flooring is not as tight as the antique reclaimed domestic heart pine product above, it has equal character and color variation which makes it a truly distinctive and charming selection. We recommend 2-3 coats of tung oil as a finish to bring out the full beauty of this wood. As with all Rawles-Aden flooring products, samples are available free of charge upon request.

Either of these beautiful examples of pine flooring are in the Rawles-Aden warehouse and available for prompt shipping. Samples are available without charge upon request.
