Reclaimed White Oak From Old Tire Factories
White oak flooring salvaged from antique factories and warehouses, planed to a clean face and milled into an engineered plank. Shipped nationwide from Auburn, Georgia.
This reclaimed white oak flooring comes from antique factories and warehouses, including old tire plants, where white oak was laid because it could stand up to heavy industry. After decades under machines and carts, the wood is dense, stable, and full of quiet character.
The clean face version is planed past the old surface, leaving the white oak’s tight grain, soft color, and scattered nail marks. It reads clean and modern, with a backstory a new floor can’t claim.

Factory Floor White Oak Flooring, Installed
Every board is one of a kind. Expect natural variation in color and grain, plus knots and old nail marks — that’s the wood’s history, not a defect.
Installing Reclaimed Oak Flooring
We supply the flooring; your flooring contractor or an experienced DIYer handles the install. Let the boards acclimate in the room for several days before installing, with the HVAC running at normal living conditions, and follow standard hardwood flooring practice for subfloor prep and moisture testing. Random lengths install like any tongue-and-groove floor — stagger the end joints and pull boards from several boxes as you go so color mixes evenly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why white oak?
White oak is hard, stable, and takes finish evenly. It’s the species most people mean when they ask for a light, modern wood floor.
What does clean face mean here?
The old surface is planed away, so you see fresh white oak grain with small character marks like nail holes. It’s much calmer than a skip-planed board.
