How Much Reclaimed Wood Do I Need?

Accent Wall Calculator

Formula: (Wall Height x Wall Width) ÷ 0.85 = Square Feet Needed

• Example: 8' x 12' wall = 96 sqft ÷ 0.85 = 113 sqft needed

• Add 10-15% for waste and cuts

Cost Example (8'x12' wall):

• Using 4" barnwood bundles: 6 bundles x $90 = $540

• Using coal-fired steel: 113 sqft x $3.50 = $395.50

Dining Table Calculator

8-foot live-edge table (standard 36"-40" width):

• Slab dimensions: 8' x 3' x 2" thick = approximately 48 board feet

• Walnut @ $22/bf = $1,056

• Cottonwood @ $6/bf = $288

Mantel Length Guide

• Small fireplace (3-4 feet wide): 5-6 foot beam

• Standard fireplace (5-6 feet wide): 7-8 foot beam

• Large fireplace (7+ feet wide): 10-12 foot beam

• Allow 12-18" overhang on each side

Red and White Oak

Characteristics: Dense, dark brown, prominent grain pattern Best For: High-wear surfaces (flooring, countertops, bar tops) Colorado Connection: Industrial transport beams, cargo flooring from semi trucks Price: $6-$14/board foot or linear foot

Rock Maple

Characteristics: Extremely hard, light color, fine grain Best For: Tabletops, shelving, any surface needing durability Colorado Connection: Boxcar flooring, cargo flooring, transit boards Price: $200-$300 per board (boxcar), $14/linear foot (cargo)

What Is Coal-Fired Steel and Why Use It?

Coal-fired steel panels are salvaged from a decommissioned Colorado coal power plant. These Core-10 steel sheets develop a unique rust patina over years of exposure to coal processing environments — creating texture and color variation that cannot be replicated.

Benefits of Steel Accent Walls

• No nail holes: Clean surface, structurally rigid

• Weldable: Can be custom fabricated into shapes

• Unique patina: Every piece is different

• Fire-resistant: Natural benefit of steel

• Industrial aesthetic: Perfect for modern rustic, loft, or brewery design

• Alternative to tin: More substantial than corrugated metal

Where to Use Steel Panels

• Restaurant feature walls

• Brewery tap room cladding

• Office accent walls

• Residential industrial design

• Fireplace surrounds (heat-resistant)

• Outdoor projects (naturally weathering)

Price: $3.50 per square foot (significantly cheaper than new Core-10 steel)

Boxcar Flooring: Colorado's Hidden Gem

Antique train car flooring is one of the rarest reclaimed materials available. These boards were milled from old-growth timber 80-100 years ago and have been walked on, loaded, and weathered inside moving railcars for decades. Very few antique boxcars still exist, making this material extremely limited.

Why Boxcar Flooring Is Special

• Pre-dimensioned: Already flat, smooth, and uniform thickness (2.25")

• Extremely dense: Old-growth hardwood with tight grain

• Authentic distressing: Wear patterns from cargo loading

• Multiple species: Oak, rock maple, pine, apitong, hickory

• Perfect width: 12" boards are ideal for tables and countertops

Best Uses for Boxcar Flooring

• Dining table tops (8-foot boards fit standard tables perfectly)

• Coffee tables

• Butcher block countertops (when properly sealed)

• Floating shelves

• Benches and entryway furniture

Price: $200-$300 per 8-foot board depending on species

How to Choose Between Reclaimed Wood and Steel

Choose Reclaimed Wood If:

• You want natural warmth and organic texture

• Your style is farmhouse, rustic, mountain contemporary

• You're building furniture or shelving

• You prefer lighter colors (amber, honey, gray)

• You need workable material (can be cut, sanded, stained)

Choose Coal-Fired Steel If:

• You want bold industrial character

• Your style is modern, loft, brewery, or contemporary rustic

• You need fire-resistant or outdoor-suitable material

• You prefer dark, moody, dramatic aesthetics

• You want something truly unique and conversation-starting

Combine Both If:

• You're designing a restaurant, brewery, or retail space

• You want contrast (warm wood + cool steel)

• You're creating modern rustic or mountain industrial style

Where Revolve Reclaimed Sources Materials

All materials at Revolve Reclaimed are salvaged from Colorado structures and industrial sites:

Douglas Fir Wind Turbine Beams: Vestas wind turbine transport, Brighton CO 1911 Douglas Fir Beams: Union Station building, Denver CO Coal-Fired Steel: Decommissioned coal power plant, Colorado Galvanized Steel Sheets: Silverton Mine, Silverton CO Oak and Maple Transit Boards: Steel tubing transport, US plains Cargo Flooring: Semi truck trailers Boxcar Flooring: Antique train cars Live-Edge Slabs: Colorado trees, milled by Colorado locals (kiln-dried) Barnwood: Old barns and agricultural structures

Environmental Impact: Why Reclaimed Materials Matter

Every board, beam, and steel panel at Revolve Reclaimed is diverted from landfills. Colorado generates thousands of tons of construction and demolition waste annually, and reusing materials dramatically reduces carbon emissions.

Carbon Savings

• Reusing 1,000 board feet of lumber = equivalent of planting 40 trees

• Every semi-truck of reclaimed materials = 50+ tons of CO₂ prevented

• Zero new deforestation required

• Local sourcing reduces transportation emissions

Circular Economy Impact

By partnering with Colorado deconstruction crews, Revolve Reclaimed supports:

• Skilled labor jobs in salvage and reclamation

• Local economic growth

• Preservation of historic materials and stories

• Waste reduction (70-90% less construction waste per project)

Installing Reclaimed Wood: DIY vs Professional

DIY-Friendly Projects

Accent Walls (Barnwood Panels)

• Tools needed: Brad nailer, level, stud finder

• Skill level: Beginner to intermediate

• Time: 1-2 days for 100 sqft

Floating Shelves (Transit Boards or Beams)

• Tools needed: Heavy-duty brackets, lag bolts, drill, level

• Skill level: Intermediate

• Time: 2-4 hours per shelf

• Tip: Revolve Reclaimed sells UltraShelf floating brackets (22"-58" sizes, $65-$165)

Small Furniture (Coffee Tables from Boxcar Flooring)

• Tools needed: Saw, drill, wood glue, clamps, sandpaper

• Skill level: Intermediate to advanced

• Time: 1-2 days

Hire a Professional For

• Structural beams: Load-bearing installations require engineering

• Large dining tables: Complex joinery and finishing

• Bar tops and countertops: Waterproofing and food-safe sealing

• Steel wall installations: Welding and heavy material handling

• Historic beam installations: 1911 Union Station beams (expensive, require expertise)

How to Finish Reclaimed Wood

Leave Raw (No Finish)

Best For: Accent walls, decorative beams, low-touch applications Pros: Authentic patina, easy maintenance Cons: Splinter risk, dust accumulation

Oil Finish (Tung Oil, Danish Oil)

Best For: Mantels, shelves, furniture Pros: Enhances grain, easy to repair, natural look Cons: Requires reapplication every 1-2 years

Rubio Monocoat or Waterlox

Best For: Tabletops, countertops, high-use surfaces Pros: Food-safe, water-resistant, durable Cons: More expensive than oil

Polyurethane (Water-Based or Oil-Based)

Best For: Floors, bar tops, high-wear surfaces Pros: Maximum protection, long-lasting Cons: Plastic-like sheen, harder to repair

Wax Finish

Best For: Decorative pieces, mantels Pros: Soft luster, easy application Cons: Low protection, frequent reapplication

Steel panels require no finish — the rust patina is permanent and continues to age naturally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is reclaimed wood safe for indoor use?

Yes. All wood at Revolve Reclaimed is cleaned and denailed. Live-edge slabs are kiln-dried to eliminate pests and reduce moisture. Colorado's dry climate naturally deters wood-boring insects.

Can reclaimed wood be used in kitchens and bathrooms?

Yes, when properly sealed with food-safe, water-resistant finish (Rubio Monocoat, Waterlox, or water-based polyurethane). Boxcar flooring and cargo flooring are excellent for countertops.

How do I transport large beams?

Beams are heavy (80-200+ lbs). We recommend pickup trucks or trailers. Revolve Reclaimed can help load materials. Local delivery may be available (call 720-236-0454 for details).

Do you have inventory in stock or is it custom order?

All inventory is in stock and available for immediate purchase. However, reclaimed materials are limited-supply — once sold out, we must wait for new salvage projects. Follow us on Facebook (facebook.com/revolvereclaimed2) for new arrival updates.

Can you cut beams to custom lengths?

We can cut 1911 Douglas Fir beams for $40 per cut. For other materials, bring your own saw or hire a contractor. We do not currently offer full milling services.

What if I don't know what I need?

Visit in person! Bring photos of your space, room dimensions, and design inspiration. Our team can help match materials to your project, style, and budget.

Can steel panels be installed outdoors?

Yes. Core-10 steel and galvanized steel are weather-resistant. The patina will continue to develop naturally over time.

Do you deliver?

Local delivery may be available for large orders. Call 720-236-0454 to discuss delivery options and fees.
