Kiln drying creates uniform, low moisture content flooring. We have spent years creating our proprietary drying method to effectively cure the wood before it is milled and shipped to you. Our carefully prepared and aged materials should perform trouble-free virtually forever. In addition, kiln drying is the only effective way to kill any dormant insects that like to hide inside antique wood.
End-matching is a long-held standard in the wood flooring industry, but it is virtually unheard of in the antique wood flooring industry. John Williams, VP Sales says, this added value saves time and material during the installation process. Installers no longer have to square each end, which equates to a faster, more efficient installation. This often results in a reduced cost to the homeowner.
After one of the first projects resulted in a dissatisfied customer, the company provided a 100% refund and resolved that quality controls would have to be an integral part of the operations. Mountain Lumber's manufacturing facilities and headquarters are still located in Ruckersville and now Madison, Virginia – close to its historical roots.
Everything we do at Mountain Lumber is geared towards producing the best flooring products in the industry. It all starts with choosing superior wood. From there, our craftsmen who have been committed to their trade at Mountain Lumber for years, transform the wood into fine custom flooring, combining their traditional skills with state of the art milling equipment.
