One of the most often neglected parts of the home is the ceiling. But that shouldn’t be such a surprise. Just think about it, how often are you looking directly up at the ceiling in your own home? Probably not very often. Reclaimed wood ceiling panels will change that.

BUT, we’re here to tell you that times are changing. In fact, homeowners today are placing more effort into creating ceilings that not only add something to the overall home but also represent their style and taste preferences. For some reclaimed wood ceiling panels inspiration, click here.

This ceiling renaissance is being spear-headed by reclaimed wood ceiling panels. Today, we’re going to be discussing some of the main benefits of reclaimed wood ceiling panels, as well as some of the many different options we offer here at Manomin Resawn Timbers.

Why Reclaimed Wood Ceiling Panels are the Right Choice

Before we get into the benefits of reclaimed wood ceiling panels, let’s talk about what makes this wood so unique.

First, there is an undeniable benefit of sustainability that this type of wood provides. Instead of chopping down new trees to source your wood, you’ll be using wood from old ships, homes, and factories. So, not only will you help reduce deforestation by choosing reclaimed wood, but you’ll add a sense of history and character to your home. Reclaimed wood is even stronger than new wood because it had hundreds of years to grow before being chopped down by early American settlers.

Those are some pretty compelling benefits, but it doesn’t matter if the wood doesn’t look great. Lucky for you, reclaimed wood is absolutely stunning. Not to mention, there are so many options—which we will get to in a second—that it would be hard for you not to find a species and style that you absolutely love. In fact, you might have a hard time picking the right one! Reclaimed wood can take any basic space and turn it into a memorable showcase of beauty and character.
