Diy hack for end grain flooring.
Old time machine shops factories use end grain wood floors like this.
The look of reclaimed end grain tiles varies with the type of wood.
Because the cuts are made across the board the end grain is exposed on the face of the tile just.
You can refinish the tiles to create a gloss end grain floor that looks almost like polished brick or finish it with a satin sealer to capture hypnotic patterns unlike any other flooring.
End grain patterns are more intense and visually dynamic than any other wood grain.
When your wood arrives move the end grain flooring into the areas where they are going to be installed and leave them there for at least one to two weeks before installing.
Distancing your wood block flooring from any other ongoing wet remodels will prevent the wood tiles from absorbing damaging amounts of moisture.
