Reclaimed Pitch Pine

There is something uniquely special and beautiful about a pitch pine floor in any home or business premises. With its warm and rich beauty and random knots, reclaimed pitch pine is a highly sought-after wood that is grown in North America. It has been used for centuries as a wood for building and enhancing homes, and dates back to the first settlers on the east coast of America.

Most of our reclaimed pitch pine is carefully sourced from old warehouses, textile mills, barns and other old buildings that have stood the passing of time. Each piece of wood has a story and a history, which is engrained in its memory. Using reclaimed pitch pine for your flooring will create a true sense of days gone by in any room you choose to use it in. Unfortunately, due to its nature our reclaimed pitch pine is not suitable for Underfloor Heating.

The Latin name for pitched pine is pinus rigida – and it is true to its name as this is robust and solid wood and can be used for both commercial and private premises. It grows mainly in the areas of Maine, Ohio, Kentucky, and Georgia. Although classed as a soft wood it is really a hard wood as it is very strong. Pitch pine is highly adaptable and can re-grow with ease if it is fire-damaged or cut. The name pitch is relevant as the tree is also used to produce pitch (resin, tar, or bitumen) for industry.
