Heartland Barnwood: Reclaimed American Heritage
Heartland Barnwood products are reclaimed from the siding and timbers of barns and other antique structures throughout the United States. Instead of this wood ending up in burn piles or landfills, we breathe new life into these boards by transforming them into wallboard paneling and other products.
Our weathered barnwood originates from decades-old thoroughbred horse farms, old tobacco barns, and rural structures across North America’s heartland. The unique grain designs, saw marks, and character marks add a rich history and charm to any home, office, restaurant, or creative space you’re envisioning.
Kentucky Racehorse Oak: Reclaimed Equine Heritage
Kentucky Racehorse Oak is milled from reclaimed oak horse fencing sourced from farms throughout central Kentucky, famously known as “The Racehorse Capital of the World.” This oak wallboard is crafted from thousands of miles of paddock fencing, repurposed to avoid waste. The refined character, clean finish, and unique story of this reclaimed wood offer an unparalleled accent to any space. The character of these timbers is distinctive, shaped by exposure to the elements and the rubbing and chewing of the horses that lived within them.
From Triple Crown winners like American Pharaoh to emerging stars, the passion and beauty of the horse industry are unmatched. The heart of horse country resonates globally, from Japan to Switzerland, Dubai to New York, and back to Lexington, Kentucky. We bring that story into your space.
Since 1875, when Churchill Downs hosted the first Kentucky Derby, Kentucky has solidified its status as the epicenter of the sport of kings. Horses are Kentucky’s pride and joy, and reclaiming that history is our mission.
Central Kentucky is now home to over 450 horse farms, breeding the world’s top racehorses. Each May, April, and October, thousands of visitors gather to watch and wager on these majestic creatures.
We take the aged fences that have contained these horses and transform the material into floors, walls, and beautiful accents. These fences, made of 100% American oak, are a premium hardwood material. Each piece of wood carries the history of the farms they enclosed, the horses that chewed them, and the decades of Kentucky’s equestrian prestige.
Our reclaimed wood comes from old barns, factories, horse fencing, tobacco farms and other turn-of-the-century buildings and rural structures. Some of our reclaimed timbers date back to more than 200 and 300 years ago. Only time and exposure to the elements have allowed for the unique character and design of antique reclaimed timber. These dismantled structures have outlived their usefulness. So we have collaborated with dozens of teams of suppliers to reclaim these old structures and then we redeem the wood through our manufacturing process and repurpose them into a menu of finished goods. Much of our materials were often originally harvested from America’s virgin forests, making them authentic original growth timber. We source our wood from various regions: locally around the central Kentucky area, regionally around different parts of America and globally from Europe and Africa.
Yes, hardwood floors are a great choice for any commercial or home project such as a restaurant, entryway, kitchen, or commercial setting where high traffic is to be expected. We simply recommend proper maintenance of the floors in order to ensure longevity.
Reclaimed wood is extremely stable and installs the same as most other solid, hardwood flooring products. Some of our rustic face flooring may require some hand scraping to even out a few of the edges on some boards. Unless you purchase our pre-finished flooring, you will need to use a floor sander for most of our other flooring product lines.
Our solid floors can be installed using nails (brad nails work well), staples or wood flooring adhesive and should be laid on a subfloor. Our engineered floors can also be laid on a concrete slab. You might consider using an underlayment.
Proper care is essential to keep wood floors looking beautiful and performing well for the lifetime of the floor. This dedicated maintenance will enhance the performance of the floor and ultimately will protect your investment. Routine cleaning involves sweeping or dust mopping to remove dust and dirt. Clean spills immediately with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Don’t use wet mops or steam mops, which will damage the finish and the wood over long periods of time. If you must mop, only use a very lightly dampened mop. It is advised to use a cleaner made specifically for the finish you chose for the floor, which is something your flooring professional can provide or recommend to you when the job is completed.
The kiln drying process is extremely important because it stabilizes the woods moisture content and eliminates any type of mold or bug that could otherwise be present in the reclaimed timbers. Kiln drying the boards ensures our boards are clean and dry and ready to be made into a final reclaimed wood design. The boards are placed in what is known as a kiln for anywhere between 3-7 days.
