Reclaimed vs New Wood

Reclaimed wood refers to recycled wood which is a fantastic
eco-friendly choice. It can be salvaged from abandoned structures, old homes, commercial buildings, barns, and railroad ties among others.

On the contrary, new wood is sourced directly from the trees.

We ask the Houzz community to share with us which one you prefer and why?

Any comments are appreciated.

    both, as long as there is wood :)
    though I find reclaimed has a sense of character in its own

    reclaimed, all the way with me! doesn't matter if it's painted and stripped, or waxed or varnished, it's got to be old......

    Both look great. But I prefer the flexibility of the new wood.

    Reclaimed wood gives a characteristic feel to a property and can have less impact on the environment, while there will be also be properties where new wood is the better suitor. We think both are can be incorporated as a great feature.

    Reclaimed wood for us as especially like the one in your photo and definetely agree with Rennew Traditional Building Materials about reducing the impact on the environment.

    Reclaimed wood has already a story to tell, this gives a room some real character!

    Both, as long as they sensibly sourced. I've used both, it just depends on the project.
