Rustic Grade Walnut Flooring

The Walnut flooring rustic grade will include large knots, small shakes and splits, Sapwood (light in colour) and mineral staining. However all the above give the walnut it's natural beauty and warmth.

Walnut has regained popularity over recent years and is being specified and used by designers and architects for use in modern 'high end' commercial and residential projects in conjunction with metal and stainless steel, leather and glass designs to give a very clean but contrasting 'new' look. The walnut tree is a fruit tree and produces walnuts and prefers to grow in open areas rather than canopy forest. The walnut trees grow well in the richer soil which can be found to the west of the Appalachian Mountains and into states which boarder the Mississippi valley, commonly known as the Midwest. Walnut trees only represent around 10% of the make-up of tree species in the USA and relatively scarcity of the species in combination with a growing demand and has led to a dramatic increase in price over recent years. At its peak in 2005-2006 American Black walnut was the most expensive forest product available from the USA.
The dark coloured heartwood of the walnut is a dark chocolate brown to deep brown/purple colour. The lighter coloured sapwood is almost cream white in colour when the log is fresh sawn. So a darken the colour of the lighter coloured sapwood, fresh sawn walnut timber goes through a steaming process, this helps to blend the colours and also helps to relieve the stress in the walnut wood.
The walnut timber has a nice grain pattern and machines and finished very well.
In comparison to species such as Maple or Oak, walnut is relatively soft hardwood and will mark and score. Walnut is recommended for use in a high traffic area such as sports halls or dance studio's.
