How Handscraped Wood Floors Are Unique

Sharp Floors & Granite Countertops is proud to offer handscraped hardwood floors to our Dallas customers. For many years, this preferred style of Dallas hardwood floors has been the top choice for luxury, quality, and durability as a floor choice in homes.

Installation of Early Hardwood Flooring

When homes were built before the advent of electricity, power tools were not available to plane, smooth, and sand the wood. Floors were laid with hardwood planks that could be of varying width. Attempts to have every plank be exactly the same width was difficult because the mills responsible for cutting the wood from tree size to balok to plank did not use not highly precise pieces of equipment.

Instead, the craftsmen laying a floor used handheld tools to scrape flooring planks in places where sawmill tolerances presented a problem. As this was done by hand, a certain character was added to floors made of handscraped hardwoods. The process of handscraping made each floor unique and naturally more appealing and beautiful.

The Return of Traditional Floors with Handscraping

Trends change and now the handscraped look has, once again, become a popular trend in hardwood flooring. In some cases, a customer wants their home to be unique, but in many other instances an older home already has a hardwood floor that needs maintenance, repair, or replacement.

If a home happens to have a history of its own, having historically correct hardwood flooring is very important. The same point is applicable if a designer wants to ensure a room or home has a vintage style.

This type of modern yet traditional floor installation process can be used in your home to give your interior a unique, worn look.
