What is End Grain? Well, End Grain is when you are actually looking at the growth rings of a tree, such as a stump when you are able to count the seasons that tree has lived so basically End grain is like the top of a bundle of straws.

Once installed, the end grain has a unique non-repeating appearance, acoustically absorbent and are the most durable and resilient flooring surfaces available.

End Grain is made by continuously cross-cutting or slicing logs or cants into blocks or rounds, with the annual growth rings exposed on every piece.

Blocks are carefully selected then precision-machined, kiln-dried and turned on end. With 3 finger blocks, each individual end grain finger of the 3:1 blocks are assembled together with a soft mesh backing to allow easy installation.

When applying a finish we advise a natural oil as it penetrates deep into the end grain allowing the hard annual growth rings to carry the wear.
