What Makes Reclaimed Wood Products So Special?

The term ‘reclaimed wood’ refers to the wood that has been salvaged from some old structures for reuse. This wood comes from Reclaimed beams and Reclaimed Wood Furniture. Apart from great savings in terms of environmental costs, the advantages of using reclaimed wood are enormous. Wood sourced from Reclaimed Timber Beams is often of a better quality than the green timber. Moreover, it has a greater degree of aesthetic appeal, durability and unique advantage of antiquity. There is an emerging trend of making marvelous new bespoke furniture from reclaimed wood.

Mass deforestation has turned vast tracts of land barren in order to provide timber for the purpose of large scale production of furniture. However, witnessing the havoc created by deforestation an increasing number of people are turning towards furniture made from reclaimed timber. Nowadays, whenever an old structure is demolished the wooden parts are reclaimed so that they can be re-used instead of fresh timber. The use of salvaged wood has gained popularity, as it offers cost-effectiveness, sturdiness, aesthetic appeal and above all it is eco-friendly.

More about reclaimed wood
The most prominent source of reclaimed wood is Barns and Mills. Barns used to be constructed using old timber which was mostly many centuries old. The wood used was often a mix of sturdy timber such as oak, chestnut, poplar, hickory and pine. The timber was mostly hand hewn using an axe or squared with an adze. Mills are also an excellent source of reclaimed wood. Some of these buildings are spread in more than a million square feet and can yield reclaimed timber up to three to five times of that figure.

Reclaimed and antique lumber is valued by architects, designers, and aficionados for its history, quality and character. Reclaimed wood is mostly used as flooring, siding, paneling, cabinet lumber, and furniture. The various species of reclaimed wood available are Pecky Cypress, Rustic Hickory, Antique Oak, Heart Pine, Heart Cypress, Wormy Chestnut, Redwood, Douglas Firm, Barn Lumber, Rock Elm, Original Tongue and Groove, Poplar, Beech, and many more. You can further choose from the Rough Sawn, Plain Sawn, and Hand Hewn wood beams.
