There are other unique properties of Birmingham, Alabama reclaimed flooring, including its physical appearance. Reclaimed timber from old buildings has been gently weathered and features unique coloring, fascinating knotholes and wear patterns, insect markings, and old nail holes that add character and charm to the wood. Carefully recycled and expertly processed for modern use, the beauty and functionality of reclaimed flooring for Birmingham, Alabama is unmatched.

Much of the reclaimed wood we sell at Bingham Lumber is old hardwood that is no longer available and has been replaced in the construction industry by faster growing softwoods. The reconditioned lumber used in reclaimed flooring has an incredible strength that is simply unavailable in today’s commercial forestry products. The sturdy fibers in reclaimed wood have slowly dried over the years through exposure, evolving into remarkably stable and strong lumber that can add beauty, character, and longevity to your home.
