Introduction
In the world of high-end flooring, few materials carry the character, history, and beauty of Reclaimed Elm Flooring. Made from century-old elm wood salvaged from antique furniture, barn doors, and architectural relics, this flooring option combines natural elegance with a sense of heritage. At Songlinfloor, we specialize in transforming this rare wood into premium-grade engineered flooring — blending sustainability, artistry, and performance.
1. The Story Behind Reclaimed Elm Wood
Every plank of our reclaimed elm flooring tells a story. The raw materials come from elm wood used 80–120 years ago in old Chinese houses, door panels, cabinets, and beams. These materials have been aged naturally over decades, resulting in:
- Unique textures and wood grains that cannot be replicated with new wood
- Stable internal structure thanks to years of environmental adaptation
- Beautiful patina and deep color variations that reflect true antique charm
By reusing this heritage wood, we not only preserve history but also support sustainable material cycles.

2. Rare Materials, Limited Supply
One of the defining features of reclaimed elm is its scarcity. This wood is no longer commercially harvested and can only be found through selective salvage operations. Unlike plantation wood, reclaimed elm is a finite resource — once it’s gone, it’s gone.
At Songlinfloor, we have spent over 15 years building long-term partnerships with salvage teams and antique markets across northern China, ensuring a steady supply of authentic reclaimed elm. However, the quantity remains limited, which further elevates its value and exclusivity.
3. Expert Craftsmanship from Recovery to Flooring
Turning reclaimed wood into usable flooring isn’t simple. It requires:
- Manual surface cleaning to remove dirt, nails, and coatings
- Precision sorting to group similar colors and grain patterns
- Skilled restoration to preserve texture while achieving flatness
- Engineered structure processing for modern stability
Our team’s extensive production experience ensures that each reclaimed elm floorboard is not only beautiful but also functional, durable, and easy to install.
