Here at Cawarden Brick & Tile Company, we believe there are a myriad of reasons as to why reclaimed materials are the perfect building supplies for a variety of construction projects. Reclaimed bricks, roof tiles, and timber are very popular choices with many of our customers, however, there are a variety of other reclaimed materials that would work perfectly with an assortment of interior renovation projects.
Cawarden Brick & Tile Company have listed four lesser-known reclaimed materials to help you plan your next construction venture.
Cast Iron Radiators
Cast iron radiators are the perfect addition to any home looking for a classical touch. Cast iron radiators can be introduced to a variety of interiors, effortlessly combining modern styles with traditions from days past. Cast iron radiators are often considered one of the lesser-known reclaimed materials, perhaps due to worries about their pipes not being compatible with modern heating systems. However, cast iron radiators are actually far more energy efficient than you’d think - as long as you purchase the correct size for the room you wish to heat, cast iron radiators work just as well as their modern counterparts.
Timber Flooring
Reclaimed timber flooring can offer an authentic look that celebrates the scuffs, dents, and knots, telling a story and adding character to your home. Customers looking for a new flooring provision may not immediately look to reclaimed timber flooring, but it truly holds a whole host of benefits that newer timber cannot offer. The environmental impact is lessened, the older wood is less likely to split over time, and it simply looks incredible.
Stone Urns
Reclaimed stone urns look fantastic both indoors and outdoors, presenting an aesthetic that is both classy and on trend. Salvaged stone urns can act as an eye-catching garden feature, neatly situated beside a flower bed, positioned on your patio or can be set inside to consolidate a particular interior direction.
Paving Stones
Offering a practical solution for your paving needs, reclaimed paving stones can be applied as effectively as new paving stones. Reclaimed paving stones may be lesser known due to the worry that the stones aren’t available in a wide variety of colours and styles, however, this is simply not the case. Here at Cawarden Brick & Tile Company, we stock an array of reclaimed paving stone models, ideal for fitting beautifully into your landscaping plans.
Many lesser-known reclaimed materials are housed within our enormous reclamation centre. If you’d like to speak to a member of the Cawarden Brick & Tile Company team today prior to a centre visit, do not hesitate to get in contact at 01889 574066.
