Timeless Oak and Maple Varieties for Victorian and Craftsman Homes

Victorian, Queen Anne, and Craftsman homes often feature intricate millwork and high ceilings. To honor that era, choose wood species and cuts that enhance detail:

• White Oak in Narrow Plank: A classic choice for board widths under 3". Its tight grain and light tones pair perfectly with crown moldings in the Village of Middlefield’s historic district.
• Red Oak with Cathedral Grain: Ideal for large living rooms in Creamery Township homes near the Middlefield Cheese House. The warm hues highlight original fireplace mantels and built-in cabinetry.
• Hard Maple in Quarter-Sawn Cut: Offers exceptional stability during humid summers and freezing winters. Its flecked grain pattern works beautifully in formal dining rooms and hallways leading to the Geauga County Fairgrounds road.
• Mixed Species Parquet: Intricate patterns found in downtown Middlefield heritage sites can be recreated with sustainable, eco-conscious hardwoods—backed by our Eco-Conscious Hardwood Sourcing.

These species are time-tested in Ohio’s climate zones. Our exclusive focus on Middlefield and Geauga County homes ensures each selection takes into account humidity-resistant performance and seasonal expansion.

Modern Wide Planks and Matte Finishes for Updated Historic Interiors

For homeowners blending historic character with sleek, contemporary aesthetics—especially in remodeled kitchens, converted carriage houses, or open-plan loft spaces—wide plank boards and matte or low-sheen finishes are highly sought after:

• 5"–7" European White Oak: Wider boards bring a spacious feel to living areas in neighborhoods like Maple Ridge and Jokers Hill. The subtle variation in plank width complements exposed beam ceilings.
• Handsawn Hickory with Matte UV-Cured Finish: A rugged, textured surface ideal for homes near the I-90 corridor. Its durability makes it perfect for high-traffic entryways and mudrooms during snowy Ohio winters.
• Wire-Brushed Walnut Stains: Rich, dark tones suited for formal spaces along State Route 86. This style pairs well with the smoky beams in converted barns and former mill structures.
• Engineered Wide-Plank Cherry with Water-Based Matte Seal: Engineered options resist moisture fluctuations near local ponds and tributaries, such as Rumple Creek. Cherry’s warm, reddish tones add refined elegance to updated historic kitchens.

When installing these modern styles, our flooring installation near Maple Valley and Round Hill uses True Dustless Technology to eliminate over 90% of airborne particles. Homeowners can continue daily routines without worry—no drifts of sanding dust in hallways as you prepare for the Geauga County Fair.
