Reclaimed wood can be a stunning finish for walls, floors, and ceilings. But the organic material is susceptible to rot and decay when used in wet areas such as spas, showers, and on backsplashes. Barnwood from Ragno USA replicates reclaimed wood’s distressed look and natural grain on porcelain tile. Available in ash, barley, and pearl (shown) colors, as well as a mixture of the palettes, the 6”-wide-by-24”-long tiles use 21% recycled content and are frost- and impact- resistant for use indoors and outdoors. ragnousa.com
