Although frequently referred to as hardwood, our wood flooring is actually softwood which brings you a warmth and comfort that can’t be found elsewhere. The natural beauty and variety of character as well as product options in our Montana wood flooring is unsurpassed. At RBM we price our wood flooring to fit almost any budget.

At RBM Lumber we have become a leader in the softwood flooring industry because we take the time to produce the best product available. The following specs are the reason we can claim to have the best softwood flooring available:

 

• Dried to 6%-8% moisture content. This is crucial to eliminate shrinkage and movement after installation. Does not require acclimation when your subfloor is within 2% moisture content to the wood.
• End-matched and ready to install.
• Relief grooved on the back.
• Tongue and groove standard to the industry run to very tight tolerances.
• Rough boards are leveled with a sander to eliminate grain tear and knot blowout.
• Packaged in true random length bundles with 20″ to 12′ lengths.
• Tight grading standards tailored to the general needs of our customers.
• Milled at just under ¾” thick

 

Wood Flooring Species:

• Fir and Larch (F&L)
• Pine
• Cottonwood (accepts stain exceptionally well )
