For most homeowners, cost is a factor when buying hardwood floors. The big box stores and deep discount suppliers offer what seem to be great deals. But do you know what you\u2019re getting when you load up your cart with bargain hardwood? Where is the lumber from? What adhesives were used? Where was the product made and who made it?<\/p>\n
In this Hardwood Advisor, Baird Brothers\u2019 Steve Stack discusses why \u201cMade in America\u201d is an important consideration when purchasing hardwood products.<\/p>\n

The beautiful Oak, Poplar, Maple and Cherry, Hickory, Ash and Walnut used to make our fine hardwood mouldings, flooring, doors, stair components and more are harvested from the Appalachian forest region. \u201cWe only deal with lumber suppliers who promote the responsible management of forests, so we know that we\u2019re doing our part to ensure the sustainability of one of our nation\u2019s valued natural resources, hardwood forests,\u201d Steve said.<\/p>\n
Since Baird Brothers\u2019 beginnings, 65 years ago, Franklin International, an 80-year-old family-run company located right here in the Buckeye State, has supplied us with the safe, VOC-compliant adhesives. \u201cThe adhesives we use are safe for both our workers and our customers,\u201d Steve said. \u201cWe confidently use Titebond products in our mill and sell them in our showroom and online.\u201d<\/p>\n
In 1960, three brothers founded Baird Brothers in Canfield, Ohio. Today, Baird Brothers remains a family business as their children have followed in their footsteps and are active in the day-to-day operations. \u201cTradition means something at Baird Brothers.\u201d Steve said. \u201cLike the first American craftsman in this region, we take pride in providing customers with the finest hardwood.\u201d<\/p>\n
When you bring Baird Brothers\u2019 hardwood into your home, you\u2019re supporting the more-than 100 employees at Baird Brothers, their families and the eastern Ohio, and western Pennsylvania communities where they live. Besides enjoying a strong business in Ohio\u2019s Mahoning Valley, Baird Brothers ships products to all 50 states and Canada. \u201cAmerican workers are using America\u2019s renewable resources to make gorgeous hardwood for American homes,\u201d Steve said. \u201cYou can feel pride in helping the nation\u2019s economy and confident that you\u2019re buying the best American-made hardwood to help beautify your family\u2019s home.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
