Get In Line

Here at Pioneer Millworks, we see a lot of interior & architectural concepts every day.  From rustic lodges, to modern lofts, there's a good bet we have a material that can fit the aesthetic.  Taking it one step further, how you use the selected material can add another dimension to the design.

A big trend recently has been the use of horizontal lines.  Planks of wood have long been installed just as they were on barns for hundreds of years - vertically.  Going horizontal accents the variations in the materials, makes the space seem wider, and brings a fresh look to any type of space.  In particular, many of our clients developing corporate spaces have picked up on this concept and put it to good use:

Besides offices, retailers and restauranteurs have been using the concept as well, in some cases adding height and thickness variations for added texture.

Variegated reclaimed barn siding installed horizontally, Philadelphia, PA

So whats next?  Well, thats entirely up to your imagination.  Being a leader in the reclaimed wood industry though, we enjoy developing concepts with our customers, helping you understand that reclaimed wood doesn't have to equate to "rustic" :

Contact us with your ideas, we'll help you "line up" some great reclaimed wood for your project.  Happy New Year!

Off the shelf, or off the hook?

When you contact us here at Pioneer Millworks, you'll find that we know a thing or two about reclaimed wood. Years of working with some of the most beautiful wood on earth have provided us with a deep appreciation for its potential. This experience is a great resource for you, our customers, to tap into. If you want something that is a bit unique, maybe a certain texture or color, chances are we can figure out a way to make it happen. Just look at this Heart Pine we're providing for a customer in the midwest:

Careful texturing and coloring of the wood has created a rich cocoa-toned wall cladding with the feel of driftwood.  "Off the hook"?  Absolutely.  This isn't your typical "off the shelf" wood.  Of course, we have a tremendous selection of standard products that work for many of our customers needs.  For something truly special though, let us help to create a surface for you.  Give us a call and lets see what we can create together.
