People who want to repurpose and reuse materials should consider making extensive use of reclaimed wood as an important component of sustainable design. Having said that, reclaimed wood can add a great deal more to your house than what was said above.
Utilizing recycled wood is an interesting project that has the potential to provide a space with personality, charm, warmth, and texture. New homes or modern rooms can get a sense of history by including weathered planks and aged beams in their construction. Adding ceiling planks to a kitchen or home can give it more character, warmth, and a more European vibe.
Where exactly should it go?
There are countless applications for reclaimed wood, and the only limitation is one’s own creativity. Here are several applications for recycled wood, along with some samples of how we’ve utilized it in the past.
- Headboards made of wood have the ability to establish a mood in the bedroom.
- It is possible to construct a mantelpiece from beams.
- countertop surfaces in the kitchen or bathroom
- Faces of the island
- Walls
- Hardwood floors
- Tables and beams from the ceiling
Where you can look for it?
The first thing that springs to mind when thinking about a source of wood is old barns. These planks might also originate from residences, hotels, or even factories that have been demolished in the past. If you live in an older house, the drywall that covers the attic floor or the floor of the attic itself may already conceal some magnificent wood.
Another source is the boards that are discovered after the removal of a roof in order to construct a second floor. When an attic is converted into a second story, a gold mine – or more accurately, a “wood” mine – can be discovered in the process.
We also have a beautiful source for salvaged wood, which is used in our Millwork Shop; therefore, if you are interested in utilizing this material, give us a call and we will be able to assist you.
