Thanks, in part, to the many home makeover and renovation television shows today, rustic and distressed wood floors have taken the interior design industry by storm in recent years. Due to their popularity, uniqueness and practicality, retailers are seeing a continued increase in the sales of these types of wood flooring styles.
“A great deal of designers on these home and garden shows are using a fair amount of handscraped and distressed products,” said Roger Hansbarger of Holland Floor Covering in Newton, Pa. “Certainly that creates a desire for the customer to take a look at them when they come into the store.”
