What Makes Us Different
At Peterman Lumber, we pride ourselves not only on our selection of wood, but how it’s prepared. We’ll quarter-saw or rift-saw some species of wood. These careful cutting methods have several benefits. Here’s why quarter-sawn wood is better:
- If painted, quarter-sawn wood will chip and fade less compared to painted wood that is not quarter-sawn.
- These hardwood floors may be less likely to warp from exposure to moisture.
- The wood will look uniform as it gets older, even if different types of wood are used.
- There’s less chances of the wood cupping or twisting.
- Each plank is less likely to contract and expand as often, which means the wood will hold its shape.
- Distinct grain is reduced, making the hardwoods look polished and appealing.
