Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate how much reclaimed wood flooring I need?

To calculate your reclaimed wood flooring needs, measure your square footage and add 10% to cover waste. This extra material accounts for cuts and pattern adjustments—especially when using Reclaimed White Oak, Heart Pine, or Douglas Fir planks with varied widths.

Yes, you can mix face widths—typically from 5” to 12”—to create a more authentic, rustic look. Many customers prefer mixed-width layouts for Rustic Wood Floors crafted from reclaimed or old-growth materials.
