Why Houston Plank?
Crafted from reclaimed long leaf pine, Houston Plank offers more than just visual appeal—it tells a story. Each board is milled from wood salvaged from historic buildings across the U.S., giving it a unique patina and texture that can’t be replicated with new lumber. The engineered construction ensures stability and longevity, making it ideal for residential applications.

The darker tone added warmth and contrast to the light-filled interiors, while the subtle sheen of the finish highlighted the wood’s natural character. Paired with minimalist furnishings and neutral walls, the flooring became the focal point of the home—anchoring each room with timeless elegance.
