Reclaimed wood for floors
Submitted by Guest on Tue, 25/04/2006 - 15:10.
Does anyone know where in Vancouver a person could get reclaimed wood to use in a hardwood floor? I have a friend who got the wood from an old gymnasium for his house... is there any kind of resource out there on finding reclaimed materials in Vancouver?
Thanks for any help. :)

In addition to the Eco Lumber Co-op, two other locations in the lower mainland that sell reclaimed, salvaged building products are ReStore and Jack's Used Building Materials Ltd 604-299-2967 - both in Burnaby.

SBC's FSC certified wood panels
I just wanted to add that if you would like to see FSC wood, the Sustainable Building Centre's exhibition panels are made of FSC wood from the Eco Lumber Coop. This is what you will see if you visit the SBC on Granville Island:
