Ash Flooring
Northern White Ash/Glacial White Ash is commonly found growing throughout the USA from east of the Mississippi river, and down into the southern states, throughout the Appalachian mountain ranges and the Eastern USA and up into Canada. The wood from the Ash tree has an open grain pattern, it machines and finished beautifully leaving a smooth ash finish. There is a distinct colour difference between the lighter white coloured sapwood and the browner coloured heartwood. It is widely used for making sports equipement such as hockey sticks and baseball bats, its also used for tool handles as well as for shop fitting work, display cabinets and joinery. The bright whiteness of the white sapwppd tends to improve when the trees are grown and haversted further north and closer to the Arctic circle. When the Ash tree grows further south the colour and grain pattern tends to be less defined and 'smoother' in texture.
Ash is relatively hydroscopic wood with an open cell structure and it reacts and expands quite considerably when it comes into contact with moisture and humidity.
Ash flooring not recommended for flooring in damp areas or where it could come into contact with moisture such as bathrooms.
