How Reclaimed Stone Can Benefit Your Home Renovation

WM Thompson & Son Ltd • Feb 26, 2024

When it comes to elevating and transforming your home, reclaimed stone can be a fantastic solution. It has many benefits, as well as making your new home renovation unique, whilst being environmentally friendly. This article will cover just some of the benefits of opting for reclaimed stone as your main home renovation material, so read on to learn more.



Cost-Effective

Home renovation projects can be incredibly expensive. Whether you’re redoing your home due to outdated design or you’re repairing damages, reclaimed stone can be a fantastic solution to keeping within budget. By searching for reclaimed materials such as an aggregate supply from a quarrying company, you can find stones locally, helping to reduce both the cost of the stone itself and any transport charges.


Timeless Appearance

As with many materials, pebbledash is a material that can look dated quite quickly. It becomes easy to recognise the era of a home with this material especially. Opting for material like reclaimed stone is a timeless alternative, helping you keep your new home renovation as a long-lasting solution. It’s a particularly great option, regardless of your style.


Eco-Friendly

Sustainability when renovating does not need to be expensive or challenging. Opting for a material that has had a past life is a good way to ensure the reclaimed materials can be used, as well as saving our environment from dealing with preventable waste. Many newly manufactured supplies have a negative impact on the environment and use unnatural materials that are increasingly difficult to break down at a later stage.


Durable

We all know how flimsy and frustrating materials like drywall can be when used in the home. Although the solution is temporarily cheap, it may end up costing more over time as it breaks or needs replacing. Instead, choose reclaimed stone for a reliable solution that acts as an aesthetic and long-lasting solution to keeping your home durable.


Unique

Unlike newly manufactured bricks, reclaimed stone creates a unique design that can’t be found elsewhere. Due to its unique and individual weathering, each stone will be different. You can also use a combination of several different stone types without needing to purchase in excessive bulk loads, giving you more freedom and flexibility in creating your unique home. You could even try creating stone features inside your home, such as fireplaces, or outdoor furniture, such as benches.
