​Distressing

If you’re on the hunt for a unique looking floor, then ​hardwood floors with hand distressing might be right up your alley.

Hand-scraped and hand-distressed floors are gaining popularity throughout the country.

​More decorators are specifying hand distress​ed floors as a way to make a new floor look like it's 100 years old, and to give the floor a rustic feel. Distressing also is a way to match antiqued cabinets and furniture. The natural scratches and gouges in a distressed floor make it a perfect choice for homeowners who don't want to cringe every time their kids or pets leave a mark on the floor. There's also a certain amount of prestige for the homeowner to have a custom, hand-scraped floor.
