Barnwood cladding

For the realisation of rustic cladding, Carpentier works with European and Canadian barnwood. Reclaimed softwood of over 200 years old, given a second life as beautiful cladding with a unique, weathered look.

Barnwood cladding, unique and authentic

Barnwood is reclaimed softwood of over 200 years old, sourced from old wooden barns. Each piece is unique — no two boards are the same.

  1. European or Canadian barnwood
    European barnwood has variations in colour from grey and black to brown. Carpentier continuously searches for batches with as many grey tones as possible. Canadian barnwood is slightly more uniform in colour, but may also include a coloured board.
  2. Thick and solid
    Our solid timber cladding in barnwood is available in thicknesses from 20 to 24 mm and in varying lengths — ideal for rustic projects full of character.
  3. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
    Thanks to their hardness and durability, these reclaimed wood varieties are ideal for outdoor applications. But indoors too, for ceilings and walls, barnwood is a perfect fit.
  4. Cradle-to-cradle principle
    Carpentier processes the reclaimed wood into cladding according to the cradle-to-cradle principle — so that as much material as possible is given a useful second function.

The benefits of barnwood cladding

Barnwood is the choice for those who want to place authenticity, texture and a weathered character centre stage. Each piece is unique and instantly creates atmosphere — both as cladding and for interior applications.

The origin of our barnwood

Barnwood cladding is made from reclaimed softwood of over 200 years old, sourced from old wooden barns that are carefully dismantled. The idea behind this is that as much material as possible is reused and given a useful function in a completely new application, without any loss of quality.

Carpentier processes the reclaimed wood into beautiful timber cladding according to the cradle-to-cradle principle.

Barnwood has something you cannot imitate: a weathered look that instantly gives every façade character and authenticity. No two boards are the same.
