DFW Local Hardwood Floor Experts With Over 50 Years Experience!
Hand scraped or distressed hardwood flooring has come back into fashion alongside its deep South brothers like plantation shutters. Hardwood flooring has always been a mark of sophistication and elegance, but the hand-scraped flooring trend taps into a timeless, rustic aesthetic that is not easily achieved.
For centuries, wood floors were crafted with rough tools, leaving a textured look and feel to the surface that is now sought after due to its reputation of providing immediate charm and subtle vintage quality. Active residents like kids and pets can be hard on floors, sometimes leaving dents and scratches. A hand-scraped wood floor takes these dings in stride and still looks great.

Texas Hardwood Flooring proudly provides hand scraped wood flooring in the DFW metro area. We work on hickory, oak, as well as other wood species. When your solid hardwood flooring is being installed or refinished, our craftsmen can hand-scrape your floor right on site, prior to staining and sealing. Installing engineered hardwood flooring instead of solid hardwood? There are engineered floors with some hand scraping. Many flooring manufacturers now offer pre-finished hardwood flooring products that are hand-scraped at the factory and can be installed with the same ease and at the same cost as other pre-finished floors.
If you find the individuality of a parquet floor or other flooring styles totally charming but aren’t thrilled about the additional cost, you might look to hardwood floor scraping. The completely unique look of each hand scraped plank easily creates a form of chaotic symmetry that can only enhance and add dimension to the character of your current or new hardwood flooring. While the finish is rustic, it pairs easily with many different types of decor because of the natural color palette and varied way of executing the scraping. It has managed to become the current interior design sweetheart because of it’s textured appeal and ability to add visual interest across a broad area. This texture makes the perfect backdrop to highlight heirloom furniture pieces and other carefully contrasted pieces that enhance style and individuality. The most interesting and intriguing part of a hand-scraped design is its ability to appear and feel different in varied types of lighting. The woods natural grain will be brought into sharp relief and the morning lights will create stunning hues and sharp edges that will mellow as the sun reaches higher into the sky.
Since those little dings and evidence of wear won’t show on your rigidly designed flooring the beauty of the grain of the wood will stick around with low maintenance. Since it’s a hard surface, it’s already going to be ridiculously easy to keep clean in comparison to its dust and grime collecting carpet counterparts. While smooth hardwood floorsrequire regular sweeping to make sure that all those little crumbs don’t mar and interrupt the beautiful progression of the grain, you won’t be able to see those pieces in hand-scraped wood. Rougher more surfaces don’t show dust, hair, or any debris which means you can sweep much less often. Worried about the grooves making it more difficult to sweep? Usually the grooves and scrapes in the wood are so low profile that they won’t be able to trap things from the bristles of your broom, and definitely won’t stand up to a mop.
Wanting to try out some greener, less pungent cleaners? Hand scraped wood flooring takes kindly to the attentions of diluted apple cider vinegar and other green alternatives to those stinky wood cleaning chemical products.
