Textured Hardwood Flooring

A growing trend is towards a more distressed or rustic hardwood floor. Textured flooring camouflages dings, dents, and wear patterns from pets. Most textured finishes come in a lower sheen which also hides the wear well. You can choose from:

  • hand scraped
  • machine sculpted
  • wire brushed
  • saw cut flooring

All our textured hardwood flooring is available as a prefinished engineered hardwood and is available in wide planks (another popular choice). 

Hand Scraped Hardwood

Hand scraped hardwood flooring is well-liked and commonly available. Hand scraping is done by scraping the board by hand, giving a natural irregular texture on each board.

Machine scraping achieves a similar look by running the boards through a machine which scrapes the entire length of the board (hand scraping is only the length of a man’s reach). Machine scraping is generally a more economical option.

Scraped hardwood is great for high traffic areas and homes with children and/or dogs as the texture hides the wear. Touchwood customer favorites are hand scraped walnut and hand scraped white oak flooring.

Wire Brushed Hardwood

For a wire brushed hardwood texture brushes scrape away the soft grain of the board. The harder grain is left sitting slightly higher and knots in the wood will be more defined. Wire brushing works well in two stain processes. The first run stains the entire board and the second run of stain sits on the higher grain. Grainier species, such as White Oak, are commonly used for wire brushed flooring. Touchwood also offers brushing on smooth grained woods such as Birch, Maple and Walnut. Wire brushed hardwood flooring is another great solution for people that have busy households or heavier pets.

Saw Cut Flooring

Saw cut flooring is an additional texture normally added to wire brushed hardwood. Saw cuts are created with a machine at the mill. Lines are added randomly across the grain of the hardwood as if a rough cut of the saw blade made the markings. This additional distressing creates a more rustic hardwood floor that has become very popular in the last few years. Deciding which texture is best for you will depend on the amount of traffic and activity your floor will have.

The more distressed a floor is the better it hides the wear, which gives your floor a longer life. Scraped or wire brushed hardwood floors, with a thick enough wear layer, can be refinished although some bevels and texture will be removed from the sanding.
