Barn Board Wall Paneling Is A Smart Choice
Barnwood paneling is a trend for many home, cabin, and business applications. You can purchase reclaimed wood or modern-made barnwood that simulates weathered wood quite well. As old barn siding becomes scarcer and its price soars, a terrific option is modern barnwood made from pinewood.
What Is Barnwood Paneling
Traditional barnwood paneling, also known as reclaimed wood paneling, refers to the use of wood planks on walls. It is often rough or unfinished to create a farmhouse-style motif on walls or ceilings. The planks are typically sourced from old barns and other structures, giving them unique textures, weathered appearances, and a sense of history.
Modern barnwood paneling, also called faux barnwood paneling, is made from pinewood to resemble recycled wood without the drawbacks. It has become a popular product for home and commercial use, such as in restaurants, offices, retail stores, campground buildings, and more. The favorite widths are 6” and 8” in various lengths made from pine that is sawn and kiln-dried to perfection.
Modern barnwood goes through a special process that gives new wood an old look with much texture and character. The best quality paneling has the tongue and groove feature on the sides and ends for continuous application. There’s no need to end-butt pieces on studs because the joints fit snugly together anywhere on or between the wall framing. This results in 15%-20% labor savings and up to 20% less waste.
The Benefits Of Modern Barnwood Paneling
Modern authentic-looking barnwood paneling provides the look of old barn wood siding that has been weathered by the elements for many moons. It has these benefits for customers:
- Provides a wonderful decorative look of rustic wood wall paneling.

Each piece of bardwood paneling is a Green-Wood Building Product that is renewable and recyclable. It is sustainable because thousands of pine trees are replanted each year to provide a steady supply of wood along with naturally-occurring stands of pine trees.
