JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. — Mullican Flooring, a leading manufacturer of quality hardwood floors,announced today the release of Wexford Kiln-Aged, a new carbonized collection within its engineered wood flooring line. The new collection uses a heat-treating technique to produce a unique color variation and uncover the natural grain patterns of the wood.

Carbonization naturally retains the structural value of the wood with a multi-step approach, while creating a rich and natural look that is unmatched. Offering five upscale products, the addition of Wexford Kiln-Aged will distinguish Mullican Flooring from its competitors within the market.

“We are proud to introduce our carbonized collection and prouder still to reaffirm our commitment to product innovation,” said Pat Oakley, Vice President of Marketing for the Johnson City, Tennessee-based company. “Mullican Flooring has already proven to be a leader in domestic manufacturing, and it is our goal to use the announcement of Wexford Kiln-Aged as a catalyst for more product development in the United States.”

European inspired and available in white oak and hickory, Wexford Kiln-Aged will share many of the same qualities that Mullican’s existing Wexford and Nature sawn collections possess.

Mullican Flooring will also add four new colors to its Mount Castle collection this year—available in both herringbone and wide-plank options. The herringbone products will be sold in 3.5- and 5-inch widths, and the wide-plank products will be offered in 7.44- and 9.45-inch widths. Available in white oak and walnut, Mount Castle is known for its hand-sculpted, wire-brushed and whitewash finishes within the engineered flooring line.

Mullican Flooring operates additional production facilities in Norton, Virginia; Holland, New York; and Ronceverte, West Virginia.
