RIFT SAWN HARDWOOD FLOORING

Rift sawn boards are similar to quarter sawn but are taken from further outside the log.  This produces smaller width boards with a tighter more consistent grain.  Like with quarter sawn, rift sawn floors make for a very stable type of flooring with minimal expansion and contraction.  This is an excellent option for environments that will have wide ranges in temperature such as radiant heating.
