Transforming Heritage: The Journey of Industrial Oak Engineered Flooring
The oak in our Industrial Oak collection carries a story like no other. These planks were salvaged from Michelin’s historic tire factories and warehouses, infusing each piece with character and charm. By reclaiming this beautiful wood, we are not only crafting exquisite products but also safeguarding a piece of America’s industrial heritage.
Features and Highlights
Distinctive Aesthetics
Our Industrial Oak offers a rich blend of American oak hues, ranging from tans and light browns to deeper, darker shades. Unique features such as knots, saw marks, nail holes, and natural wear give each plank an authentic and one-of-a-kind appeal.
Versatile Dimensions
With a standard width of 4 3/4″ and lengths varying between 2′ and 6′, our engineered flooring accommodates projects of all sizes with ease and consistency.
Ready-to-Ship Packaging
Each box contains 20 square feet of Industrial Oak engineered flooring, ensuring seamless shipping and project planning. With an abundant stock, your dream floor is within reach.
Michelin’s Legacy in Every Plank
Founded in 1889: Édouard and André Michelin established the Michelin brand, known for its innovation and quality—a legacy reflected in the oak reclaimed from their facilities.
Origins in 1968: The oak used in our collection once supported tire storage in Michelin warehouses located in Maryland, South Carolina, and Texas. Decades later, it has been transformed for a new purpose.
Reclaiming the Past, Building a Sustainable Future
Environmental Impact
Initiated in 2020, our reclamation project breathes new life into factory and warehouse oak, preventing the deforestation of 1,200 to 1,500 acres.
Energy Efficiency
By reusing existing materials, we reduce the demand for natural resources, seamlessly blending sustainability into every plank.
Industrial Oak engineered flooring is more than a product—it’s a symbol of sustainable innovation, history, and craftsmanship. Join us in giving these historic planks a second life and paving the way for a greener future.
