Redeem
Once they receive the product from their suppliers, they pass the lumber onto their in-house craftsmen who then spend days metal detecting, milling, puttying, sanding, washing, and finishing the products for resale.
Repurpose
Once the product is ready to be sold, Old World Timber loves seeing the outcomes that their product has given a project. They get to see the historical product get a new life as flooring, siding, paneling, or as a barn door in someone’s home.

You can find endless inspiration ideas on the internet for the different ways you can implement reclaimed wood in your home.

An accent wall is probably one of the most popular ways reclaimed wood is used.

The fun thing about siding and paneling is the ability to customize the look of it through the layout, coloring and the surrounding décor. You can use a variation of colored boards to give your accent wall a contrasted and unique look or you can use all the same colored boards to be simple and elegant. You can mess around with the different patterns and ways to lay out the boards. The possibilities when it comes to accent walls are endless.
Backsplash or Backing on Kitchen Island
Using reclaimed wood as a backsplash isn’t as common as other idea, however it is a unique design idea. Several designers have used reclaimed wood in kitchens and bathrooms as the backsplash above the counters. It instantly makes the kitchen or bathroom look rustic and natural which is a current design trend. Reclaimed wood is also a great product to use to accent a kitchen island. You can wrap the base of your island with a variety of different patterns and colors.
Furniture
Reclaimed wood can work very well with furniture if it is used and built properly. However, it can only be used for certain pieces of furniture like headboards, tabletops, and the faces of dresses and tables. You can buy reclaimed wood in a multitude of different profiles, using paneling for headboards, for example, if you structure it correctly.
These are a few ideas on how you can use reclaimed wood siding and paneling to get your inspiration flowing. Your imagination is the only limit.

Design Inspiration for Fooring
When it comes to flooring, there isn’t much you can do with it other than using it as flooring. It’s not like siding, paneling, or timbers where you can use them for other design projects around the house. However, you can get creative with the way you design the flooring itself. With Old World Timber, you have several different types of flooring and colors to choose from which means you can customize your floors to your liking. You can get as creative as you want with the layout of the floorboards by laying them out in different ways than the traditional horizontal or vertical. Think about doing design inlays where a certain section of the floor is laid out in a design, or maybe lay out the boards in a design pattern like chevron or herringbone.
Aside from the pattern of the boards, you can use different color variation s to give your flooring design a unique and contrasted look. Your floor is one of the first things your guests see when they come into your house. Get unique with your design and become one of a kind.

How to Install Barn Doors
Step #2: Locate the studs and mark the studs above the door. You want to start about three inches above the opening to give yourself some clearance. Make sure you are marking high enough that the door will clear the floor and not scuff when you are sliding the door.
Step #3: Counter sink the holes and prepare them for the screws. It is recommended that you use 2 screws on each side of the door.
Step #4: Attach the track and properly secure it to make sure your door is secure and safely attached.
Step #5: Install the stoppers to allow your door to stop properly so you can avoid any damages or injuries.
Step #6: Attach the Rollers – your hardware kit should have specific instructions on how to install your rollers properly. Refer to your kit for more information.
Step #7: Install your anti-jump disks, these are there to keep the door from coming off of its tracks and falling.
Step #8: Attach the handle – most kits will come with a handle but if yours didn’t, you can purchase one from anywhere you please and attach it to your door.
Step #9: Lift the door onto the track and place it in its proper position. Make sure you use multiple people if needed.
Step #10: Install the door guides to keep your door from wobbling and falling.
Step #11: Do a final walkthrough on the door and its installation and make sure everything is in the right place, is secure, and stable.
Basic Care for Your Barn Door
Every so often go through and wipe down the surface of your door and the track to make sure it is clear and clean.
Use only soaps that are made for wood.
Don’t use any harsh cleaners
Don’t use any rough rags to avoid scratching the track or damaging the wood.
If you are cautious and take note of these few things you will be on your way to enjoying a beautiful barn door with no hassle!
