Transforming Heritage: The Journey of Industrial Oak Engineered Flooring
Reclaiming the Past for a Sustainable Future
Preserving the future starts with reclaiming the past. We proudly source and restore premier oak from old factories and warehouses, crafting reclaimed floors and wallboards that are built to last. Oak, renowned for its durability and longevity, serves as the perfect material for these purposes.
A Unique History in Every Plank
Our Industrial Oak line boasts a rich history, with each plank reclaimed from Michelin’s antique tire factories and warehouses. This oak not only offers natural strength and beauty but also carries a story, adding unique character and charm to every piece. By repurposing this exquisite wood, we are preserving a part of America’s industrial heritage.
Michelin Legacy
1889: Founding Brothers Édouard and André Michelin established Michelin over a century ago, with a commitment to quality and innovation that resonates in every plank of our Industrial Oak.
1968: Tire Storage Origins Michelin North America’s warehouses in Elkton, Maryland; Laurens, South Carolina; and Houston, Texas, stored tires on these hardwood planks for decades. Now revitalized, this oak has found a new purpose.
Repurposing the Past for a Sustainable Future
Saving Forests, Preserving Energy
Our reclamation project, launched in 2020, aims to repurpose oak planks from factories and warehouses. This monumental effort is estimated to save 1,200 to 1,500 acres of deforestation, significantly contributing to environmental conservation.
Sustainable Transformation
Repurposing this oak not only saves forests but also minimizes energy consumption. By requiring fewer natural resources, we integrate our commitment to sustainability into every plank.
