What’s the Difference Between EtchWood and Reclaimed Wood?
EtchWood's textured wood products are an excellent choice for homes, businesses, and even furniture components. The textures are derived from genuine reclaimed wood, but are much easier to take care of than actual reclaimed wood.
Let's see why EtchWood provides easier maintenance and unmatched beauty. We provide trim, doors, beams, shiplap, plywood, wallboard, and more.
Smooth and Protective Finish
EtchWood uses furniture-grade stain, paint, and finishing processes
Our finish makes the wood smooth and the surface durable
Our finish protects against water damage and wear
Cleaning is easy - just wipe with a damp cloth
Reclaimed wood, on the other hand, can be rough and uneven. It often has cracks and splinters that trap dirt and moisture. This makes it harder to clean and more likely to grow mold. Indoors, this can also become a health hazard.
Reduce Mold and Mildew Problems
EtchWood's coatings help keep moisture out
Our coatings prevent mold and mildew from growing
You don't have to worry about hidden moisture causing problems
Reclaimed wood can easily get moldy, especially in damp places. It's often from old sources and doesn't have modern protective coatings.
Easy to Clean
Dust with a soft cloth or wipe with mild soap and water
The smooth surface doesn't trap dirt like old wood
Strong surfaces reduce stains and scratches
Cleaning reclaimed wood is trickier. You have to be careful not to damage it when deep cleaning, and water can make mold problems worse.
Looks Great, Feels Smooth
EtchWood is new, sanded, wood - no splinters
Won't snag your clothes
Great for countertops, tabletops, and more
While reclaimed wood looks rustic and stylish, it can be rough. It will snag fabric or need certain humidity levels to stay looking good.
Continues to Last
EtchWood's products endure against everyday wear and exposure
Resists damage from sunlight and moisture
Stays beautiful for years with simple care
Reclaimed wood can be fragile and deteriorate faster because it's old. Its appearance doesn't offer the color and texture options that you can enjoy for years to come.
