Call 1-800-928-9602 or email us to discuss your needs Quality Less than 5 percent of our annual production capacity is chosen to become a Hull plank floor. We don't use our "run of the mill" lumber to make our floors. We look for only the clearest, brightest, most striking, figured, or unique planks to pass on to our wide plank flooring department. We saw millions of board feet annually, so we know the best when we see it. Our lumbermen and sawyers (with up to 30 years on the job at our mill) have helped millions of potential floor planks through the sawing and drying process. These seasoned craftsmen hand select the top five percent that graduate to our wide plank flooring line. Because Hull floor planks are hand selected from among so many others for their appearance and special features, our floors stand a cut above the rest. And all of our floors come with a lifetime quality guarantee.
Our Technical Specifications:
Our Process: Your floor, whether flat sawn or quarter and rift sawn, is made with the greatest care. Each species and grade of plank meet strict requirements for color, character, size, and percent of clear surface area. Floor planks are kiln-dried with renewable energy in our on-site biomass powered kilns. Since 1982 we have recycled our sawdust to power our dry kilns, reducing our energy costs and our consumption of fossil fuels. We pass the savings on to you. We expect our floors to hold up to generations of use and we offer a lifetime guarantee on every wood floor we make. If a problem arises that is attributed to our manufacturing or to a defective product, we will replace the material. We offer our wide plank flooring at discount prices, thanks to our Yankee ingenuity, our sourcing and harvesting of wood, our computer optimized manufacturing, and our direct distribution. We are the manufacturer; you are the customer. It doesn't get any more direct than that. Go ahead and compare us to the more expensive companies; we're confident you'll choose us because our handcrafted custom wood plank floors are premium quality without the intimidating price tag. You can feel good about your wide plank flooring because it comes from wood grown sustainably in the United States, which, unlike many developing nations, has stringent environmental standards in place. All of our wood is harvested according to Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) guidelines, which are designed to protect wildlife, plant life, air, soil, and water quality as well as the forest. Our sawmill holds FSC chain-of-custody certificate SCS-COC-002641 and we do offer FSC-certified flooring and lumber. In addition, our own forestland is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) via SmartWood, a program of the Rainforest Alliance's Sustainable Forestry Division. Our forest management/chain-of-custody certification code is SW-FM/COC-000193. More on our green certification and forest conservation work.
