​Reclaimed wood can be installed similarly to new wood, but there are some differences to consider. Here are some things to keep in mind when installing reclaimed wood:
  1. Preparation: Reclaimed wood may require more preparation than new wood. It may need to be cleaned, sanded, and trimmed before installation to ensure that it is safe to use and fits properly.
  2. Compatibility: Reclaimed wood may not be compatible with modern hardware or fasteners. For example, old wood may be thicker than modern wood, which may require longer screws or nails. It is important to use the appropriate hardware and fasteners for the specific type of reclaimed wood being used.
  3. Moisture content: Reclaimed wood may have a higher moisture content than new wood, which can cause it to expand and contract as it acclimates to its new environment. It is important to allow the wood to acclimate to its new surroundings before installation to avoid warping or buckling.
  4. Stability: Reclaimed wood may be less stable than new wood due to its age and previous use. It is important to inspect the wood for defects and to ensure that it is structurally sound before installation.
  5. Skill level: Installing reclaimed wood may require more skill and experience than installing new wood. It is important to work with a professional who has experience working with reclaimed wood to ensure that the installation is done correctly.
In summary, while reclaimed wood can be installed like new wood, it may require more preparation and attention to detail. Working with a professional who has experience with reclaimed wood can help ensure a successful installation.
