Reclaimed Building Materials
Reclaimed building materials allow repairs and extensions to be carried out in materials that match the age and character of a property, and salvaged stock is often of a quality no longer produced. Antiques Boutique brings together reclaimed bricks, beams and timber, chimney pots, coping stones, guttering and roofing, paviours and stone steps and slabs from salvage yards and reclamation dealers.
Quantities, sizes and weathering vary between batches, so buyers are advised to order a margin above the calculated requirement and to check whether materials are suitable for structural use. The beginner’s guide to architectural salvage and reclamation covers what to look for. See also reclaimed flooring and cladding and reclaimed architectural features.
