True high end hand scraped floors are timeless and only become more beautiful with time. The process known as hand scraping or hand distressing is done using a combination of hook scrapers and power planers with undulating blades simply to create texture to the surface of the wood floor. Similar to our french bled floors, hand scraped floors are rustic and have the ability to hide damage, therefore they are lower maintenance. Whether or not a hand scraped floor is right for your home comes down to your personal style, however, the style of a hand scraped floor has a lot of versatility no matter the theme of your home.
