Red Birch Floor
Underside relief grooves and other design details of our tongue and groove permit normal movement and reduce squeaking in the finished floor. Sticking to strict tolerances in milling results in a precise fit on sides and ends of our planks. Our bundles contain long average lengths, creating a rich look of continuity in the finished floor.
Red Birch is almost as hard as Red Oak, and relatively stable. It has beautiful graining, which sometimes contains curly figure.
Our Casa grade Red Birch will contain color variation, and knots up to 1-1/2” in diameter, along with other occasional character marks, but no edge defect. Small open holes, up to ¼” in diameter, are also allowed but are rare. There is normally a small percentage of sap; however, sap is not considered a defect. Lengths of planks vary from 1’ to 10’, with an average of about 4’. Casa grade Red Birch results in a floor with rich grain pattern and sound defect requiring very little fill.
