The professionals at Old Mississippi Brick and Heart Pine also offer large quantities of reclaimed, antique, hard maple. This flooring was frequently used for the final flooring layer in textile mills due to its hardness and strength. The flooring is available in two forms: 1) an authentic reclaimed product straight off the factory floor with only the nails removed 2) a less rustic look where each plank is re-moulded. The first option is more commonly used in commercial installations such as restaurants and antique shops while the second is more commonly used in residential applications.
