Plank Flooring

Plank flooring has a close association with our heritage. Wide hardwood and softwood boards were readily available in colonial days. Homes built in New England during the 18^th and 19^th centuries had maple planks more than a foot wide and secured to the subfloor with pegs. Today, plank flooring is produced in varying widths and random lengths. Boards are now commonly milled with tongue and groove edges; screws add extra security and are usually covered with decorative plugs. Planks may be ¾ or 3/8 inch thick and either solid wood or laminated. The individual boards are milled with tongue and groove edges, and a square or tongue and groove ends. Plank flooring is available both prefinished and unfinished for your convenience.
