Where to find reclaimed building materials in Belgium
After sharing with you images of Belgian houses at a lot of my earlier posts, some readers emailed me asking where to find reclaimed ancient building materials in Belgium. Because there is such a huge interest in finding the right addresses, I decided to write a post about it.
There are a lot of addresses in Belgium where you will discover the most beautiful reclaimed materials but I picked out 4 addresses.
The addresses I share with you today, are all companies where we have found different ancient materials to built our own house.
At the end of this post I’ll show you some pictures of my own home together with the addresses where we bought the respectively materials.
So whether you are surching for façade bricks, roof tiles, terrace floors, path cobbles, garden ornaments or ceiling beams, parquet floors, lime stone and antique mantelpieces, you will find the most gorgeous materials in Belgium.
