When you’re planning to install wood paneling into your home interior, you’ll likely notice that there are different wood varieties available on the market. WoodHaven is no different. We offer quality aspen, knotty pine, cedar, and even faux-barnwood style paneling options. You can learn more about the characteristics of each of these woods in this blog. A strong majority of our customers choose knotty pine for their interior paneling, but why is this? Knotty pine comes with many natural advantages for interior log paneling, including its affordable price point.
Knotty Pine is Very Economical
Compared to other home interior wood options, knotty pine is our most affordable log paneling. It is lightweight, easy to work with, and able to be transported long distances, making it a commonly-used wood for flooring, walls, and ceilings. If choosing sustainable material is important to you, then knotty pine is a wonderful choice! Red and white pine is found abundantly in North America, and the supply is considered highly sustainable.
Knotty Pine Offers Natural Beauty
While knotty pine siding is not the absolute cheapest way to side your home, it does offer unmatched natural beauty compared to man-made materials like vinyl or metals. The visible wood grains and spotted knots in pinewood create a wonderful visual aesthetic for home interiors that creates the “log cabin feeling.”
Knotty pine’s aesthetics even improve over time! While other materials can discolor in sunlight, wood ages beautifully. This is a huge reason why wood has a timeless appeal. It remains beautiful throughout changing trends and seasons! At WoodHaven, we source our pine from a local Amish wood mill. We love their attention to detail and the quality lumber they provide for us. You’ll love the way it looks in your home!
Knotty Pine is Durable & Accepts Stains
When you’re adding wood paneling to your walls, it needs to be able to stand up to some abuse. Our walls take dings and hits, it’s a fact of life. The last thing you want is for a strike to cause a noticeable imperfection in your home. Aluminum is another very affordable siding material, but pine wood is much sturdier and will show fewer flaws. It also readily accepts many colors of stain, while some woods resist taking on the color of a stain. Finally, knotty pine can be successfully kiln-dried, meaning the moisture content of the wood can be controlled.
