Who We Are
Western Reclaimed Timber Corp. specializes in sourcing environmentally friendly recycled timbers. Timbers are recovered primarily from old buildings and industrial structures. Located in on the West Coast of British Columbia, Western Reclaimed Timber Corp. has over 25 years of experience in the demolition, salvage, and recycling industry. In addition to retailing reclaimed wood, we are also involved with the deconstruction of industrial structures and salvage of usable materials. In everything we do our focus is on integrity, quality and safety.
Reclaimed Wood:
An environmentally responsible choice: wood is one of the easiest materials to reuse - often reclaimed wood is higher in quality than new wood.
A structurally sound choice: reclaimed timbers are desirable because of their low moisture content and dimensional stability.
A historically sensitive choice: reclaimed timbers provide a sense of continuity and a historical link - the past is revealed in the timber’s patina, grain and signs of previous use. (We can also supply fresh, re-sawn timbers)
