Product Photography
We provide real installed photos of barn conversions, venues, and restaurant walls, plus macro shots showing the saw-mark and wire-brush texture up close. We also show boards beside real reclaimed timber where possible, so that buyers can compare the appearance directly.
A note on expectations: the aim is a convincing vintage look, not a copy of one specific old board. Because each reclaimed board is unique, we recommend ordering a mixed sample set, so that you can judge the whole range of tone and texture that will appear on a finished wall.
We can also share a comparison sheet that places our boards next to typical reclaimed timber on measurable points, such as thickness consistency and moisture behavior, so that you can explain the differences clearly to your own client.
We can also share the recommended fixing spacing for each thickness, since thinner boards used on walls and ceilings need closer fixing points than thicker boards used for decking.
Minimum Order Quantity & Pricing Structure
Pricing follows the underlying grain composite profile, with a modest premium for deep texturing and multi-tone coloring. MOQ for a first trial order is typically 1 x 20ft container. Vintage projects often use mixed board widths, so we quote each width and provide a suggested mix ratio that gives a natural look.
| Order Volume | Pricing Tier |
| Sample boards | Sample fee + courier, often credited toward the first order |
| 1 x 20ft container | Standard FOB pricing |
| 1 x 40ft HQ container | Discounted per-sqm pricing |
| Venue, restaurant, or chain volumes | Negotiated pricing with phased delivery across projects |
Quotations are typically given as FOB Ningbo or Shanghai, with CIF and DDP available once the destination and Incoterm are confirmed. Standard payment terms are 30% deposit by T/T with the balance against the B/L copy. When comparing with genuine reclaimed boards, please include the cost of sorting, treating, and replacing real timber, since reclaimed material often costs more overall than its price per board suggests.
For venues on a limited budget, we can suggest using vintage-look boards on the most visible walls and a simpler profile in the same color family elsewhere.
For a project that combines interior and exterior use, we can quote both areas together so that color and texture remain consistent, and we can suggest where a premium finish is worth having and where a simpler board is enough.
Please tell us whether you need the price for boards only or for boards plus trim, corner pieces, and beam covers, so your quotation shows the full cost of a finished wall.
OEM & Customization Options
Vintage projects usually start from a photo or a real reclaimed board that the client loves, so customization is about matching tone, texture, and pattern as closely as possible.
- Color and aging effect - match a reference board, with control over how strong the fading, streaking, and darker patches should appear
- Texture - wire-brushed, saw-mark, or heavier grain, chosen to suit the wall, ceiling, or deck
- Width mix - packs of several widths in a set ratio for a natural, irregular pattern
- Profile - shiplap, tongue-and-groove, or board-and-batten to fit the building style
- Trim and beams - matching trim, corner boards, and faux beam covers for interiors that need a complete look
For event venues and breweries that want a signature look, we can develop a distinctive color and texture, subject to a reasonable minimum order. We can also supply offcut samples so that your carpenter can test cutting and fixing before starting on the main wall or ceiling.
We can also produce a small demonstration panel that includes several widths, a corner, and a trim piece, which many designers find helpful when presenting the look to a client before the main order is confirmed.
We can also suggest a mix of widths and a layout sketch for your wall, ceiling, or deck, so that the pattern looks natural rather than repeating in an obvious way. Sample kits containing several widths, textures, and colors are available so that your client can select their preferred combination. For larger orders, we can pre-sort boards into mixed bundles that follow your chosen ratio.
Certification & Quality Control
Buyers who compare us with real reclaimed timber often ask about fire performance, emissions, and how the material ages, so we prepare documents on each of these topics.
| Certification / Test | Availability |
| Fire-retardancy test reports | Available for selected profiles; classification depends on local code |
| Formaldehyde and emission documentation | No added formaldehyde; test documents available per batch |
| UV/weathering and water absorption reports | Available (SGS/BV/Intertek) |
| REACH / RoHS compliance | Standard formulation compliant |
| Factory quality system | ISO 9001 factory management system |
Our QC process checks that texture depth and color streaking fall within an approved range, so that boards look naturally varied without any looking like an outlier. We also measure board width, thickness, and straightness, because uneven boards make shiplap and tongue-and-groove joints harder to close neatly across a long wall or ceiling.
Unlike reclaimed timber, our boards carry no risk of hidden insects or old fasteners, and we can provide documents showing consistent composition. If a rule in your area limits combustible interior finishes, please tell us the exact requirement early.
Batch records let us trace any installed board back to its production run if a question ever arises, and we can keep an approved reference sample at our factory to compare each new production batch against it.
For projects near cooking equipment, such as restaurant kitchens or brewery halls, please tell us the distance and conditions, since fire and heat requirements are stricter there. We will confirm which finishes have suitable documents and which do not, so that you can choose safely from the start. Test reports are available on request in English.
Production Capacity & Lead Time
Vintage barn wood boards are made on our wood grain and capped composite lines, with lead time depending on whether an existing aged color is chosen or a new one is developed.
| Item | Detail |
| Monthly capacity | Follows the capacity of the selected grain line |
| Sample lead time | 5-8 working days for existing colors and textures |
| Standard order lead time | 20-30 days after deposit and specification confirmation |
| Custom aged color or texture lead time | Additional 25-35 days for new development |
| Mixed-width note | Packs with several widths need coordinated production so that all widths ship together |
We provide production progress updates and can share photos of finished boards laid together, so that you can see the natural range before shipment. Event venues often have fixed opening dates, so please share yours when you request a quotation and we will work back from it.
If your project is a conversion with unknown final dimensions, we suggest ordering a small extra allowance, and we can plan a top-up shipment if needed once measurements are final.
For phased conversions, we can split a confirmed order into several shipments to follow the building work, and we will confirm a written shipping calendar once the production slot is booked.
If your venue has a fixed opening date, such as a wedding season or a festival, please share it when you request a quotation. We will work back from that date and tell you the latest order date that still allows for production, sea transit, customs clearance, and installation, so that the schedule is realistic and not hopeful.
Logistics & After-Sales Support
Barn conversions and rural venues are often in places with limited access, so we try to plan delivery details early and pack boards so they arrive straight and undamaged.
- Shipping ports - orders typically go out via Ningbo or Shanghai port; FOB, CIF, or DDP quoting available
- Mixed-width packing - widths are bundled and labeled clearly so the crew can find the right boards quickly
- Documentation - commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, and relevant test reports provided as standard
- Damage/shortage claims - please photograph any damage at unloading; verified defects are resolved through replacement stock or credit on the next order
- Installation guidance - manuals for shiplap and tongue-and-groove fixing, expansion gaps, and ceiling installation
For venues with limited unloading equipment, we can advise on smaller bundle sizes. We can also provide a short care guide for cleaning and general upkeep, so that owners can keep the vintage look with minimal effort over the years.
We keep a small reserve of matching boards from your production run for a period after delivery, which is helpful if a board is damaged during other building work and needs an exact color match.
For remote rural sites, please tell us the type of vehicle that will deliver the final leg and whether a forklift is available, so that we can advise on pallet size and weight. If the site has no unloading equipment, we can prepare smaller bundles that two people can carry. Our team stays reachable during shipping and unloading.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How close is the look to real reclaimed barn wood?
A: With wire-brushed or saw-mark textures, multi-tone coloring, and mixed widths, the look is very convincing at normal viewing distances. We recommend ordering a mixed sample set and comparing it with real timber side by side.
Q: Why choose composite over genuine reclaimed boards?
A: Reclaimed boards vary in supply, thickness, and condition, and may carry insects or unclear fire performance. Composite offers consistent quality, predictable dimensions, and lower upkeep.
Q: Can this be used on ceilings and interior walls?
A: Yes, many buyers use it for interior feature walls and ceilings. We can advise on suitable thickness, fixing methods, and documents for indoor use.
Q: Will the color change over time?
A: Composite colors may soften slightly during the first months outdoors and then stabilize. For a vintage look, this gentle change is usually welcome.
Q: Can I get mixed widths in one order?
A: Yes. We can supply packs of several widths in a suggested ratio, which gives the irregular pattern typical of real barn walls.
Q: Is the texture deep enough to look convincing up close?
A: Yes, wire-brushed and saw-mark options have real depth and are designed to look convincing at close range. We recommend viewing a sample in your own light to confirm.
Q: Can vintage-look boards be used for outdoor decking too?
A: Yes, particularly at event venues. We suggest a capped profile with a grooved surface for wet areas, and we can advise on which textures are comfortable underfoot.
