Like heart pine of the 18th century, today's vintage promises to be the masterpieces of tomorrow. Authentic heart pine flooring is produced from American managed plantations and sustainable forests using the highest quality material and state of the art milling. Heart pine is cut from the center section of the tree and yields a harder, more durable floor. Unlike the color in hardwoods, which fades over time, heart pine, like fine wine, becomes more colorful as it ages.
