What I love about running this blog is that I learn something new just about every day. This post is the latest example.

I saw the above image of wood flooring ideas and was totally stumped about what this style of wood floors was even called. After some digging I finally got the answer… it’s called “end grain” flooring. I love this non-traditional design so much!

Here’s a good 3 part tutorial for you DIYers.

I also found another great blog post that describes the process and links to several good resources. If you want to know more about this type of floor, head on over to the link here…

End grain wood flooring was once a popular floor covering of choice. It is found in grand old houses, and large prestigious industrial buildings. This type of flooring can also be known as wood block flooring. It is a unique and beautiful floor covering that is still suitable for use today.

Advantages of End Grain wood Flooring:

– Very Durable
– Beautiful
– Unique pattern not seen in any other wood flooring
– Long lasting

What is End Grain wood flooring?

End grain wood flooring is made from tiles of timber which are cut from the end of a piece of timber. This means that it’s arranged like a chopping board. The separate tiles of end grain flooring can be fixed together

Durable

Wood end grain flooring is highly durable and that’s why it has been used in many different places. It’s been used as a covering for streets, in homes and even in large industrial factories. There aren’t many tougher materials than end grain wood flooring which is why many of the streets covered in the material managed to survive.

Beauty

End grain wood flooring has a unique pattern you won’t see in any other type of wood flooring. The grain pattern is very intense. The wood can be stained, painted and can also be left natural.

The floors are easy to lay, although installing end grain wood flooring is slightly more complicated than other types of wooden flooring, but it’s normally worth it.. They are laid in virtually the same way as a regular tiled floor by using adhesives. The end of the wood can also be sealed using polyurethane to make it easy to look after. The wood can also be stained in the same way as a strip wood floor.

Most wood end floors can be reclaimed from old industrial buildings. This means that they have an interesting look and some real history behind them.
