Authentic Reclaimed Barnwood Paneling

Transform walls, ceilings, fireplaces, and accent spaces with authentic reclaimed wood paneling sourced from historic American barns and structures. Our barnwood paneling preserves the natural grain, weathered color, saw marks, knots, nail holes, and surface character developed over generations.

Available in weathered grey, mixed brown, and skip-planed styles, each plank has its own variation in tone, texture, and history. Because no two are the same, every installation creates a distinctive surface that cannot be replicated with newly manufactured wood.

Choose Your Reclaimed Wood Paneling Style

Every style is made from authentic reclaimed wood sourced from historic American structures. The primary difference is the natural color, surface texture, and amount of original character you want to preserve in your space.

Mixed Species Brown

A natural blend of warm brown tones, grain patterns, knots, nail holes, and aged surface character. This option retains the original reclaimed surface for a more natural barnwood appearance.

Ideal for: accent walls, ceilings, fireplaces, entryways, and spaces where you want rich natural variation.

Weathered Grey

Naturally weathered reclaimed wood with grey and silver tones created through years of exterior exposure. Each plank varies in color, texture, grain, and surface character.

Mixed Brown Skip-Planed

FAQs

How much reclaimed wood wall paneling should I order?

We highly recommend ordering at least 10% more square feet of reclaimed wood paneling than you need to account for cutoffs and waste. A similar scenario is if you were ordering flooring. In most cases, flooring products are installed in a similar fashion and won’t fit perfectly without being cut so the same concept applies with barn wood paneling as well.

How do you install barn wood wall paneling?

With a few easy steps, these barnwood wall planks can be cut and installed in an organized manner for a uniform but rustic look.There are many different scenarios that decide whether you should start at the top of the wall or the bottom. If you are not using crown moulding or other trim against the ceiling then it’s best to start at the top and work your way done. This way if you have to make any cuts at the bottom, they can be covered with baseboard. If you’re ceiling is angled, it’s generally best to start at the bottom and work your way up. This will make it easier to measure for cuts once you get to the ceiling. With that said, it's recommended to remove any baseboard or ceiling trim before getting started so you can re-install these pieces over top of the newly installed barnwood wall planks. Use your best judgement where to start when considering your specific scenario.

Once you have your starting point, simply start installing your reclaimed barnwood paneling one row at a time with a brad nailer or an adhesive like Liquid Nails. To reduce waste, it’s always good to start the next row with a cut piece from a previous row. As you repeat this process, row after row, make sure you are staggering the joints for an organized pattern.

What is the difference between the mixed species brown barnwood paneling and the mixed species brown skip-planed barnwood paneling?

The mixed species brown skip-planed barnwood paneling will be put
through the skip-planing process. The skip-planed finish is achieved by
running the reclaimed barnwood paneling through a planer set to only
remove the high points, “skipping” over the low points. By doing this, it
allows the reclaimed barnwood to keep even more of its authentic texture,
character, and history but refines the pieces a little bit more. In the
non-skip-planned version we get the dirt and debris off of the pieces but
leave them to be as natural and authentic as possible.

Is the antique rustic white barnwood wall paneling done on the mixed species brown or weathered gray barnwood paneling?

The antique rustic white barnwood wall paneling is done on the mixed
species brown barnwood paneling. We take the brown paneling and add a
white wash finish to it allowing for a warming, more bright effect.

Does it matter if the barnwood wall paneling is installed vertically or horizontally?

No! The paneling can be installed horizontally or vertically, making it a
versatile choice for walls, ceilings, fireplaces, and even accent pieces such as
headboards or backsplashes.
