San Diego-based DuChateau Floors, maker of luxe natural flooring, just announced a new collection that replicates the popular look of reclaimed barn wood. The Heritage Timber Edition is made with FSC-certified European white oak and then distressed with surface scrapes, nail holes, notches, and saw kerf marks reminiscent of salvaged textures. Heritage has an environmentally friendly, zero-VOC, preservative-free, hard wax oil finish with planks of 7-7/16″ wide. Pricing starts at $12 per square foot.

While I want to like this it seems to me this would diminish the market for the real thing since people would be able to customize the look. Then again, I guess it would make sure there’s more reclaimed wood on the market to go around to people who want the real thing rather than just the look.
