The roots of Hearthwood’s story run deep, intertwining the history of American manufacturing and the rise of the modern wood flooring industry.
Hearthwood is at the heart of today’s flooring designs. It’s made in America’s heartland of Tennessee, with a socially minded approach. Hearthwood is led by third and fourth generation family members who build upon the legacy of the man who invented engineered wood flooring in 1938, Andy Anderson.

It’s so easy to buy products without knowing where they came from and the path they took before they landed at our door step. Without really knowing where,
knowing something deeper than a label that only says, “Made in ______.” Without knowing how the products were made, and how that sets them apart from
