Decorating your space takes quite a bit of commitment and consideration, especially when it comes to big and expressive pieces. Reclaimed barn siding is your secret weapon for creating a truly unique look for your home or business. Learn all about why real barn wood siding is a great way to add some extra charm to your space, and why Real Antique Wood is your best choice for reclaimed barn siding in New Jersey and beyond.
What Makes Reclaimed Barn Siding Look So Good?
Reclaimed barn siding is one of the best ways to add character to a space, simply because it just LOOKS fantastic! The texture in each board will certainly pique the interest of your guests when they enter your home. Every piece of reclaimed barn siding is unique, as the journey it took from the farm to your home has left its mark in countless ways. It’s a sustainable option for improving your space, as we are working with wood that has had a previous purpose as opposed to harvesting trees for new material.
Home Improvements That Tell a Story
Bringing a new story into your home means you are adding a chapter to the siding’s book of life! Every mark, every imperfection, has a reason for being there, making for a visually intriguing way to add to your home. Whether you know what happened out back by the barn or can piece it together from what you own, it’s a fun way to improve your home in a way other materials can’t match.
How Can Reclaimed Wood Be Used?
You might be wondering what you can use our reclaimed barn siding for, and the answer is: Everything! No… SERIOUSLY! Barn siding is an excellent choice for accent walls, exterior cladding, and ceilings – adding a vibrant ‘pop’ of character. It is even a great way to attract customers to your business with exterior applications, too, such as signage, to help make your logo stand out.
What’s the Difference Between Reclaimed Wood and New Lumber?
Everyone understands the advantages of new lumber. It’s reliable, clean, uniform, and all those other elements that make it worthwhile. For many applications, it’s a great choice. However, it simply can’t match the stylistic appeal of reclaimed wood.
Reclaimed pieces have a style and character all their own. The age of the wood and the conditions it came from all play a part in how it looks, with many pieces developing a unique patina and wear pattern that you can’t get out of a factory. Using reclaimed wood is also undoubtedly the more sustainable choice, reusing older but still sturdy wood instead of chopping down more trees to make something new.

Shiplap
Shiplap has notches (rabbets) cut on each side of the board, which allows the wood to self-space when the wall expands or compresses. We carry gray shiplap and several other varieties.
Tongue & Groove
Tongue and groove joints allow two flat pieces to be strongly joined together to make a single flat surface. Each piece has a slot (the groove) cut all along one edge, and a thin, deep ridge (the tongue) on the opposite edge. Two or more pieces thus fit together closely.
Square Edge
Square edge siding is the most basic of siding configurations. It is installed by butting each board against the edge of its neighbor without overlapping. This configuration is usually installed over felt paper or some other black underlay.
