In short, rustic wood flooring is a concrete based flooring system that is stamped into realistic patterns of woods so you can have wood anywhere you want! We know that the name of rustic wood flooring is a misleading name but the only similarities that rustic wood shares with traditional wood is its appearance.

One of the biggest benefits of using a rustic wood flooring system doesn’t affect the physical capabilities of the flooring but rather your mental wellbeing. By using rustic wood flooring, you are saving trees by cutting the wood out of your home. Studies have shown that over 10,000 trees are cut down a year to supply wood flooring systems for homes. With a wood stamped concrete, you can decrease that number down, even though minuscule, any decrease in deforestation is a win in everyone’s books! Concrete is also a natural material, so once your floor is ready for decommission, it won’t sit in a landfill for decades before it decomposes.
