California Chestnut Hardwood Flooring
Item #: GMWCC
Unfinished Solid | Northwest Native Hardwood Floor
California Chestnut is an extremely hard wood. Its durability, honey-warm color and distinct grain with
much quartersawn and rift flecking make it a great flooring appropriate for any high traffic application.
Quality is Green Mountain Woodwork's first priority. Their lumber is carefully milled and kiln dried to produce a straight and
stress-free floor board. Hand selected for grade, it is then moulded with a low offset tongue and groove for a
deeper wear layer. Their mill’s technicians maintain precise tolerances throughout the production process to
assure a tight, long length, clean fitting floor that makes installation quick and easy.

ECO-STATUS
We think that where your wood comes from is just as important a factor in determining what you choose for your home as is color, grain, hardness and price. For that reason, we list each of our woods with it's "ECO-STATUS", to help you make good decisions about the qualities of your materials.
California Chestnut Plank Flooring's Eco-Status is:
NW NATIVE - Woods which are native to and manufactured within our Northwest Eco-Region. We've worked for years with the non-profit Sustainable Northwest's Healthy Forests, Healthy Communities partnership to encourage ecologically responsible and restorative forestry across our region, on both public and private forest lands.
