Reclaimed European barn oak
European Reclaimed Collection
Reclaimed European barn oak, salvaged from old homes, barns and industrial buildings and handcrafted in a variety of finishes.
Solid or engineered, kiln-dried, prefinished or unfinished. Surface finishes: hand-scraped, wire-brushed, smoked or distressed, oiled or lacquered. Samples sent worldwide.
Reclaimed from a collection of old European homes, barns, and industrial buildings scheduled for demolition, these oak lumbers have survived unscarred through the two World Wars, amongst other European conflicts. The trees from which the timber was derived grew in ancient forests rich in biodiversity. They were felled when they reached maturity, often hundreds of years old. This age imbued the wood with features that cannot be seen in the new timbers of today: denser grains, unmatched size, and deeper colors. The 17th century was one of the most important in the making of the modern world. In choosing reclaimed timbers from this pivotal period in history, you are not only choosing to work with a material that has stood the test of time, but you are also making a sustainable choice. We pride ourselves on re-discovering the beauty of the past and creating the opportunity for this unique product to be appreciated and shared by the generations of the future.

Questions buyers ask
Is this solid or engineered flooring?
Engineered. A reclaimed oak wear layer of 4 or 6 mm is bonded to a plywood base, which gives the stability needed for wide planks, underfloor heating and humid climates.
Can I use European Reclaimed oak with underfloor heating?
Yes. Keep the floor surface at or below 27 °C and follow our underfloor heating guide .
Where does the wood come from?
Oak beams and boards salvaged from European buildings scheduled for demolition, then re-sawn and finished by hand at our factory in Rudong, Jiangsu.
Do you export?
Yes. We supply architects, contractors and importers in more than 30 countries, with offices in Shanghai, Hong Kong and the Netherlands.
