subject: The Price of Reclaimed Wooden Flooring [print this page] Wood is everywhereWood is everywhere. It's in the forests and parks, obviously, but it's also cradling our books, computers, and even our selves when we sit in our sofas and chairs. The world economy, however, is based on high speed delivery and mass production, which, in the end, dictates the prices of everything, even something like reclaimed lumber that is obviously better with time. Like organic food and other sustainable lifestyle items, reclaimed wooden flooring and other products made from recycled antique wood will cost you a little more. Mass production does tend to drive the final price down, and that's obviously not an option when it comes to reclaiming ours or nature's wasted building materials. However, to many it is worth it as you're gaining not only an awesome wooden floor, but one made of material durable enough to justify its cost.
