Frontier Hand-Scraped 5" x 3/8"

Looking for real wood flooring that feels natural, looks rustic, and works in almost any room? The Frontier Hand-Scraped 5″ x 3/8″ hardwood collection by Bruce gives you the look of handcrafted floors with the strength of engineered wood. This line is built for homes that need good flooring at a good value—without giving up on quality or design.

Each plank is hand-scraped, giving the surface a worn, textured look. That helps hide scratches and dents better than smooth-finish hardwood. It’s a great choice if you want a floor that holds up to daily life but still looks like it belongs in a custom-built home.

Debunking Common Myths

 

Myth: Engineered hardwood isn’t real wood.
Truth: Engineered floors have a real hardwood top layer. The only difference is the core structure, which adds strength and stability.

Myth: Hand-scraped floors are hard to clean.
Truth: The texture doesn’t trap dirt. As long as you sweep or vacuum regularly, it stays clean.

Myth: Thinner wood means it’s lower quality.
Truth: 3/8″ engineered hardwood is made for specific uses—like over concrete or in areas with limited clearance. It performs well in those situations.
