From Forest to Floor – How Trees turn into Hardwood Flooring!

It can be mysterious to understand your hardwood flooring were standing trees in a forest. The process involves a system of nature and people working together to finally generate a gorgeous hardwood floor. It all begins with the seed transforming to a fully grown tree nearing its own retirement age. The tree is typically inspected to ensure it is prepared to be cut down (i.e. it'll be shortly to die/fall by natural processes anyways) and then felled using a chainsaw. Cuts are created in the endings and the branches to create a round log which may be loaded on a truck for transport.

After the logs are cut they are attracted into a mill, in which the bark is removed along with the logs are then placed on a conveyer belt where an massive watched cuts them into predetermined lengths. The timber is then cut into the desired dimensions of the planks to be used in homes. To stop the wood from experiencing corrosion, the wood must be dried by air or in a kiln. Once its moisture content was radically reduced, they can be further shaped and cut to perfection. The planks are then inspected and rated to be deemed appropriate for home positioning. After a whole set is arranged, they're delivered into your home and ready to be turned into a beautiful hardwood flooring.
