Your most treasured antique will become your floors. Centuries old, weatherworn timbers are reclaimed from various locations throughout the world - warehouses, farmhouses, French chateaux and barns. The unique Olde Savannah salvage and reconstruction process preserves the original grandeur, integrity and patina of these antique materials. Our finishing process further enhances the natural beauty of the aging. Both wide plank and intricate custom patterns can be completely customized from these one-of-a-kind treasures. Olde Savannah offers a wide variety of antique and reclaimed woods such as Antique French Oak, Antique Chestnut, Reclaimed Barnwood, Antique Heart Pine and Reclaimed American White Oak.

Engineered Engineered flooring provides flexibility so hardwood floors can be installed in multiple applications - such as below grade and directly to a concrete slab. Olde Savannah engineered floors combine the performance of an engineered construction with the aesthetics of a solid floor. The top layer is a sliced veneer that is three sixteenths of an inch thick rather than a paper thin peeled veneer. The backing is nine plies of Baltic birch which insures dimensional stability. The top and backing are fused together using a cold pressing method for superior structural integrity.

Environment Olde Savannah Flooring is firmly committed to putting products, processes and programs in place to protect our planet. It is very important that our floors and other products are specified and sold for their quality, aesthetics, performance and value while providing a minimal environmental footprint. We believe that the issue of the environment should be a way of life not a way to market. The following are strategies, tactics and operations that we have implemented to help us achieve our environmental objectives: Raw Materials: We will only use lumber from carefully chosen vendors that have an environmental philosophy of sustainability. We offer FSC certified wood at your request. We only partner with wood vendors that harvest their product responsibly. We do not use lumber from Africa, South America, Asia, or anywhere else in the world where the rainforests are being clear cut and native animals are being slaughtered so that someone can have an “exotic” floor. Reclamation: We reclaim a substantial amount of lumber from old buildings and barns, much of it from demolition projects where the wood materials would have wound up in the landfill. We believe that our experience and ability to finish wood allows us to be resourceful in diverting potential raw materials. Waste & Recycling: We currently produce about 90 tons of wood waste per month. We have established contracts with vendors where approximately 90% of our waste and saw dust is recycled into other useful products. Our two largest users recycle our waste into particle board for the construction industry and bedding for the poultry industry. Community Involvement: We have created a program called “Give a Tree, Take a Tree” with an arbor conservancy called Trees Atlanta. We calculate our lumber usage every month and determine the quantity of trees utilized to produce that lumber. We then provide funding to Trees Atlanta so an equivalent amount of trees can be planted. This will provide a continual stream of future trees to be responsibly harvested. Please give our company a call anytime you have an environmental question or idea.
