Custom Wide Plank Hardwood Flooring: Luxury Without the Markup
Achieve the iconic "Wide Plank" look for your Bay Area estate. We source premium, custom-milled hardwood directly from top North American factories—offering the same elite quality as national luxury brands at a fraction of the cost.
High-end wide plank flooring is the foundation of the world’s most beautiful homes. Brands like Carlisle Wide Plank Floors have popularized the look of 9", 10", and 12" wide boards, but their direct-to-public model often comes with a staggering price tag.
At Whole Wood, we believe you shouldn't have to pay a "brand premium" for world-class timber. By working directly with specialized US and Canadian sawmills, we provide our San Francisco, Marin, and Peninsula clients with custom-ordered wide plank floors that match—or exceed—the specifications of the most expensive brands in the industry.
The Whole Wood Wide-Plank Advantage
We help you bypass the retail markup by providing a direct line to the source. When you order custom wide plank flooring through us, you get:
- Massive Widths: Choose from 8", 10", 12", and even wider planks for that grand, expansive look.
- North American Sourcing: We utilize the same slow-growth forests in the Northeast and Canada that luxury brands use for their "Old Growth" collections.
- Wholesale Project Pricing: Because we don't operate high-rent national showrooms, our overhead is low. We pass those savings—often $5 to $10 per square foot—directly to you.
- Custom Finishes: From wire-brushed and hand-scraped to ultra-matte UV oils, we can replicate any "designer" finish you’ve seen in luxury galleries.
Compare the Quality: Wide Plank Engineered & Solid
Don't be fooled by high-priced marketing. True quality is found in the specs. Our custom-order mill partners provide:
- The "Heirloom" Wear Layer: Our wide-plank engineered floors feature a 6mm sawn face—the same thickness used by the world's most expensive brands—allowing for multiple sandings over a lifetime.
- Superior Stability: Engineered with high-density birch or multi-ply cores to ensure your 10" wide planks stay flat and beautiful in the varied Bay Area climate.
- Slow-Growth Timber: Dense grain patterns that only come from northern-grown Oak, Hickory, and Walnut.
Why Bay Area Designers Are Switching to Whole Wood
Interior designers in San Francisco and San Rafael often bring us samples from expensive national brands and ask: "Can you match this quality?" The answer is always Yes. Whether you are looking for the "White Oak Snowdrift" aesthetic or a deep, textured "Old Footing" Pine look, we can facilitate a custom factory order that meets your exact design requirements while significantly reducing your project's bottom line.
Is your wide plank flooring the same quality as Carlisle?
Yes. We utilize the same species (White Oak, Hickory, Walnut, Cherry) and the same milling standards (long lengths, wide widths, and thick wear layers). The primary difference is the price; we skip the national advertising and luxury showroom costs to give you a better deal.
What is the lead time for custom-ordered wide plank floors?
Since these floors are milled to order at our US and Canadian partner factories, lead times typically range from 4 to 8 weeks. However, because we are the primary inventory hub in the Bay Area, we also keep several wide-plank styles in stock for immediate pickup.
Can I get 10-inch or 12-inch widths?
Absolutely. We specialize in "Ultra-Wide" planks that go far beyond what you find at standard flooring stores. We can even facilitate random-width orders (e.g., a mix of 6", 8", and 10") for a truly authentic, historic appearance.
Do you deliver to San Francisco or Marin County?
Yes. We provide job-site delivery for all custom orders. We also offer climate-controlled storage in our San Carlos warehouse if your project is delayed, so you can lock in today's wholesale price and take delivery when you're ready.
