Frontier Barnboard Flooring is one of our
more daring flooring products. Authentic barnwood is remanufactured
to retain as much of the sawn and original weathered surface as
possible while retaining the natural beauty and character of the
wood. While barnwood is normally gray to light brown in color, a
Frontier Barnboard Floor once finished usually darkens to a warm
brown glow with mixed colors from tan to gray. This bold product
offers another striking appearance to complete a magnificent home.
- Specie: Any Softwood, usually Fir, Pine or Hemlock
- Source: Barn siding and other weathered wood

- Holes: Random nail holes often with ferrous stains, bolt

- Checks: Unlimited cracks and checks allowed; this product
may have more through checks and cracks than most reclaimed floors.
These checks and cracks are intended to be part of a finished
floor.
- Surface: Most of the surface area will have original
saw-marks or weathering; the balance will be smooth, some evidence
of previous use such as weathered dents and scratches. Some paint
may remain on the surface (dut to the age of the wood any paint
is assumed to contain lead and should be handled accordingly)

gray tones

Occasionally the thickness and widths must be adjusted slightly
to accommodate the raw product.
The unique distinctiveness of a reclaimed wood
product is generally what makes it so desirable. Although we may provide
a sample, photograph or description of a particular type of wood product
as an example to demonstrate the general characteristics of that type
of product, such sample, photograph or description may not necessarily
be representative of the product actually delivered due to the great
variability in color, grain, texture, sign of previous use, etc. |
