BAIRD BROTHERS’ THREE-DAY SALE INCLUDES NEWLY RELEASED PRODUCT LINE

Live sawn flooring, used in a recent This Old House build, will be on sale, along with all other Baird products

Canfield, OH: Baird Brothers Fine Hardwoods’ 11th annual Red, White & True sales event starts Friday, Sept. 16, and runs through Sunday, Sept. 18. All products will be discounted, including Baird Brothers’ new product line – live sawn white oak flooring.

Live sawn flooring is produced by cutting straight across the white oak log, producing a unique mix of plain, rift and quarter sawn grain patterns. Flooring widths available include 3”, 4”, 5”, 6” and 7”.

“As consumer tastes expand and evolve, so do our product lines,” says Terry Baird, second-generation owner. “Wide plank white oak is an extremely popular trend; you can see it in some of our recent work with This Old House. We wanted to bring that same level of availability to our customers nationwide.”

Prior to 2020, Red, White & True was a one-day-only, on-site event. Now customers can shop online at bairdbrothers.com all three days or shop in-store and over the phone on Friday and Saturday, but no onsite activities will be held.

“Every year we get excited to offer customers our biggest sale of the year,” says Steve Stack, director of new business development. “With the sale being online over a three-day timespan, people have more time to shop. Plus, we do a lot of fun behind-the-scenes stuff on social, so customers nationwide can get a feel for our 60-plus-year operation right here in Canfield, OH!”

Virtual factory tours and product highlights can be viewed by searching @bairdbrothers on Facebook or #BairdBrothers on Instagram. Additionally, starting Friday the 16th, customers can enter a giveaway for 400 sq. ft. of red oak or hickory hardwood flooring (valued at over $3000.00) by visiting bairdbrothers.com and entering their name and email address. The giveaway winner will be announced on Tuesday, Sept. 20.

Baird Brothers is also encouraging donations to Second Harvest Food Bank throughout the sale.

“Every year, we use this opportunity to raise donations to help fight hunger right here in the Valley,” says Stack. “For those interested and able, we are accepting donations to Second Harvest Food Bank throughout the sale.”
