In this episode of
The Test Lab
(The Test Lab is an episodic web series we partnered with The Home Depot on to help Pros in our industry tackle some of the not so common requests they may encounter while on the job), we examine three different types of wood wall planks used to create those
amazing reclaimed
wood accent walls we’ve been seeing all over the web and our clients have been asking for in their homes
We’ll
break down the pros and cons of different wood applications and how you may not always need to tear down an
1800’s historic barn to make your client’s reclaimed wood dreams come true!
Adding reclaimed wood to a client's home has been a big craze for
quite
some time now. Judging by the requests we continue to get, adding that pop of aged wood does not appear to be going anywhere any time soon. For some it’s a ceiling, a cool door, or even the skin for a basement bar, but for many it’s the perfect material to add a pop of warmth and history to an otherwise blah accent wall.
We have found that people gravitate towards this feature because it’s one of the quickest ways to transform a room. Now
with that
being
said, quick
doesn’t always mean easy.
Installing a reclaimed wood wall can
definitely
come
with some challenges.
Sounds like a great opportunity for The Test
Lab
right?!?
With reclaimed wood walls in mind, in this episode we explore some of the do's and don’ts of reclaimed materials. We’ll show you how to faux your way through it and share the easiest and by far most cost-effective method to achieve this look for a potential client.
So,
if a reclaimed wood wall is on your upcoming project list,
make sure to check out our Test Lab video.
After all,
Reclaimed
is part of our name.
We must know a thing or two about this subject!
