How do I use reclaimed building materials?
Reclaimed building materials can be used in a wide variety of applications. They can be reused as in its previous use—flooring could be flooring again—in a new project or renovation, you can re-process the material to use it in a new way, or it could be virtually anything if you’re being creative! Building materials are raw materials that you have the opportunity to craft into whatever use you would like.
Something to consider: salvaged materials may need to be re-processed for certain applications; this may include cleaning, cutting, or refinishing, depending on the use. Consider these associated times and/or prices when purchasing these materials.
