Greenheart Red T&G Flooring - Product Info
Trestlewood's reclaimed Greenheart flooring is salvaged from the floors of decommissioned railroad boxcars. Greenheart was perfect for its original use as boxcar flooring because it is incredibly dense anddurable. (Greenheart is rated as roughly twice as hard as oak using the Janka Hardness Index).
The lumber is painstakingly removed from the metal structure of the boxcar and then milled into tongue and groove flooring. The resulting product is sorted into Reds and Tans, although many customers mix the two colors. Every piece comes complete with several screw holes and associated staining at no additional charge!
See this interesting summary of Greenheart history and uses.

| Source | The floors of reclaimed railroad boxcars |
| Flooring Type | Solid Wood, Unfinished |
| Profile | Tongue and Groove (T&G) |
| Knots | Greenheart T&G Flooring is not sorted for knots, but there are very few knots. |
| Moisture Content/Stability | Kiln-Dried: Greenheart T&G Flooring is cut from stock which is very dry and seasoned and is then kiln-dried. The resulting lumber is much more stable and less prone to shrinkage than is new Greenheart lumber. |
| Holes | The Greenheart material was fastened onto the boxcars with screws which, when removed, leave very regular screw holes. There is often stain or discoloration around the screw holes. |

| Grain Pattern | Mixed |

| Textures Available | Smooth and Circle-Sawn |
| Weight | Typically, approximately 4 pounds per board foot |
