Timber Wall CladdingReclaimed panels, and flooring worked for walls
Genuinely reclaimed European timber for feature walls and ceilings. Plus, flooring collections such as Raftwood — new timber worked to read the same way — used as a wall lining for the same warmth and character.
A timber wall reads the same way a timber floor does — grain, tone, the marks of age — and it works just as well running up a wall or across a ceiling as it does underfoot. There are two different ways to get there, and it is worth knowing which is which before you choose.
Genuinely reclaimed. Admonter’s Galleria and Elements panels are reclaimed European timber, salvaged and hand-worked into wall and ceiling panels in Austria. Our Heritage and Antique Floors ranges are reclaimed European oak flooring that reads just as well on a wall as it does on the ground.
New timber, worked for the look. Some of our flooring collections are not reclaimed at all, but are engineered to carry the same aged, textured character. Raftwood is the clearest example — new European oak, worked to read as weathered and time-worn, used on a wall for the look rather than the history.
Genuinely reclaimed: Admonter, Heritage & Antique Floors
These ranges are reclaimed timber — salvaged and reworked, not newly milled. Admonter’s Galleria and Elements panels are purpose-built for walls and ceilings, made in Austria. Heritage is reclaimed European oak flooring; Antique Floors is mostly reclaimed French oak. Both work as flooring or as a feature wall, laid the same way a floor is laid.
An old night club, reworked in Admonter Galleria

Flooring worked as a wall lining: Raftwood
Not every timber wall needs reclaimed material to look like one. Raftwood is new European oak, hand-worked to carry the texture and tonal variation of much older timber, without being reclaimed wood itself. Used on a wall it brings the same warmth and character to a space, without the lead time or cost of genuine reclaimed stock — and most of our other flooring collections can be worked as a wall lining the same way. Ask your rep about laying the floor you are already choosing up a feature wall.
Common questions
Is Admonter wall cladding genuinely reclaimed?
Yes. Admonter’s Galleria and Elements panels are reclaimed European timber, salvaged and hand-worked in Austria specifically for wall and ceiling use.
Is Raftwood reclaimed timber?
No. Raftwood is new European oak, engineered and worked to carry the look of reclaimed timber — the texture and tonal variation, not the material history. If you want genuinely reclaimed timber, our Admonter, Heritage and Antique Floors ranges are salvaged stock.
Can any flooring be used on a wall?
Most of our engineered European oak collections can be worked as a wall lining, laid the same way a floor is laid. Talk to us about which range and format suits the wall you have in mind.
How long does reclaimed wall cladding take?
Reclaimed stock is made to order — allow around 4–5 months, the same lead time as our Admonter floors.

As a natural timber product, variation in colour, tone and grain between boards, and against samples and on-screen images, is normal and to be expected.
