Wine Barrel Floors

by on Aug 5, 2010

In theory this sounds great. Take old wine barrels, whiskey barrels or Scotch casks, disassemble them, flatten them out and use them for flooring. I’m a tad bit skeptical that you can really get these things to flatten out. A little humid weather and you may end up with a fun house floor. Fontenay is a company built around re-building floors using the discarded barrels. Reusing for wine makes icky wine. Wine bottles on barrel floor.

These floors can look mighty fine in the right room. Bravo to Fontenay for recycling this wood.
