Recyled timber
This is an excerpt from an article in Sanctuary magazine issue 8.
Recyled timber is all the rage. In all the partially or substantially timbered houses Sanctuary has profiled since 2003, 60 per cent used recycled timber!
Many will tell you its the story behind the timber they love – an old wool shed here, ship’s ballast there. Others say its that lived-in look.
Because it’s so well seasoned, recycled timber is more stable than the kiln-dried product, and its also possible to find in lengths and thicknesses you can’t find anymore.
