Are you currently looking to elevate the appearance of your home? You might be considering the benefits of using reclaimed materials against buying new products, but after reading the latest blog post from Cawarden Brick & Tile Co. Ltd, we think you’ll definitely opt for a reclaimed door for your project. Here’s why:
For the Environment
A big draw for using reclaimed materials is that make much less of an impact on the environment, which is something we have touched on in the past with our blog on how recycling reclaimed products benefits the environment. In essence, it is a simple equation that to recycle and reuse products that have already been made has less impact than to buy new. This is, naturally, due to their being no need to cut down new trees if you choose a reclaimed wood door for example.
So, if you are interested in sustainability, a reclaimed door is the best choice for you.
Historical Charm
As we get into the personal preference side of things, and away from the greater good, it’s hard to ignore the charm of the history that a reclaimed door has endured. There is a reason that some items are more commonly found as architectural salvage than others, and for reclaimed doors, it’s often that they have remained strong and beautiful for many years of service and there is something about that that cannot be put into words.
If you’re looking for the aesthetic of your home to unlock the wonders of history, a reclaimed door is the perfect choice for you.
Quality of Materials
Again, there is a reason that reclaimed doors make it to architectural salvage yards and that is because, well, they don’t make them like they used to. That is partially testament to the fabrication methods of times gone by, but also due to the use of woods that are now prohibited (like exotic blends and old-growth) and the trials and tribulations the door has faced. Over time, wood doesn’t just develop a patina that is pleasing to the eye, wood also becomes more stable as a result of years of exposure to changes in humidity and contractions etc.
When remodelling your home, you want to do things right. With a reclaimed door, you are tying yourself into something that is going last for many years to come and (if it still looks good now) is likely to look good indefinitely.
Originality
Although we all like to indulge trends, there is something special to be said about originality and unique character, and these traits are unmatched by reclaimed doors. The other options available for finding a one-of-a-kind door are more expensive and less sustainable than purchasing a reclaimed door, so there is really no question that the solution is a reclaimed door.
To really make your house a home, it has to be your own, and the best way to do this is through individuality and a reclaimed door will facilitate this for you.
Something Special
Purchasing a reclaimed door is really something to be considered when you are looking for something special to put in your home. There are a myriad of benefits that most of us might not even consider, such as the chance to use woods that are no longer available, which makes finding the right reclaimed door for you just that bit more special.
