Get Creative and Reclaim a Piece of the Past with Reclaimed Products!

Recycle. Repurpose. Reclaim.
 We hear those words used a lot these days -- especially in the lumber industry. Increased numbers of older structures are being carefully dismantled -- rather than demolished -- and more fallen trees are being salvaged.

With the call to preserve our natural resources, Reclaimed Products are becoming favored choices for home interiors, architectural elements and crafting projects. Watch shows on HGTV and DIY Network, or cruise websites like houzz.com and Pinterest, and you’ll find them being used in a multitude of ways. These materials add a warmth and sense of history that their newer counterparts may lack.

With the increased popularity of reclaimed products, finding sources for them is becoming more challenging. But finding them in Fort Collins has become a lot easier!
 
 
Sears Trostel is your local connection for reclaimed beams & mantels, reclaimed lumber, reclaimed corrugated tin and live-edge urban salvaged wood slabs for use in DIY and commercial construction projects.
