Baker’s Creek Wood Floors, American company is all about conserving and preserving
Baker’s Creek Wood Floors builds its flooring to last generations, yet its forests must last much longer. The company believes its woodlands are much more than resources; they anchor this country’s ecosystems, and are national treasures and landmarks of nature’s majesty. So, when the company seeks out the lumber for its flooring, it is not only concerned with grains and character but also sustainability and responsible harvesting practices.
All of Baker’s Creek’s lumber is harvested from managed and sustainable U.S. woodlands. The U.S. government and trained foresters ensure practices that promote new growth while protecting precious wilderness, biodiversity and ecosystems. As a matter of fact, six trees are planted for each one harvested annually.
Baker’s Creek’s environmental practices go beyond reforestation and ethical harvesting practices. It has designed its manufacturing facility to produce little or no waste from each product it makes. The company takes great care and pride in ensuring each specie in its line is of the highest quality, both aesthetically and environmentally. It allows the natural grains and hues of its floors to speak for themselves.
Although Baker’s Creek takes care to ensure all its products meet its strict environmental practices, it is the Recrafted line that showcases the company’s ability to conserve and preserve its wood resources. This type of lumber was originally used by early settlers and manufacturers because of its strength and durability. They used it to build their factories, wharves, bridges and homes such as Mount Vernon and Monticello.
Many old structures are slated for demolition and headed for local landfills. It is the passion and vision of companies like Baker’s Creek to use salvaged parts of these structures, breathing new life into rare and historic relics. The company uses the beams and flooring to carefully recreate the beautiful and much sought-after floors our ancestors worked and lived on. Its efficient engineering process ensures no portion of these products is wasted.
“Baker’s Creek has the unique ability to produce 5- and 7-foot-long products with FSC-certified platforms and 100% recycled heart pine and white oak faces for maximum LEED credit,” said Shannon Fuller, CEO. “No other domestic manufacturer can make that claim.”
Baker’s Creek believes it is its responsibility as manufacturers and individuals to ensure this nation’s valued resources are here for generations to come. Recrafted heart pine gives an opportunity to bring living history into our homes and create a positive environmental impact. “Our great grandchildren should have plenty of trees to climb and woods to explore. Baker’s Creek wouldn’t stand to have it any other way.”
