Three kinds of reclaimed oak panel

Inside: lighter oak from the inner face of the plank

Our inside reclaimed oak panels come from the inner face of old oak planks, so they're a little lighter in colour. They're planed, filled and bonded to both sides of a birch plywood core.

Ideal for a calm, warm look in cabinets, walls and furniture.

Outside: time-worn oak from the outer face of the plank

Outside panels come from the outer face of old oak planks: darker and more lived-in. Filled, brushed and bonded to both sides of birch plywood.

The one to choose if you want as much character as possible.

Wagon board panels

Only at Hout met Historie: our wagon board panels are made from the floorboards of old goods wagons, planed and bonded to both sides of a black MDF core.

Available as inside, outside or brushed: a one-of-a-kind product.

Choose your panel

What can you make with reclaimed oak panels?

Cabinets and furniture

Our oak panels are ideal for cabinets, sideboards and built-in cupboards. The birch plywood core keeps them from warping, which makes them perfect for large cabinet doors.

Kitchen and bathroom panels

Pair reclaimed oak wagon board panels with a sleek worktop for a kitchen full of character. In the bathroom, we recommend treating the panels with a moisture-resistant oil.

Wall and door panels

Wall and door panels in reclaimed oak give a room instant character. With lengths up to 250 cm, you can run unbroken panelling from ceiling to floor.

Table tops from panels

For table tops, our bonded oak panels (20 or 23 mm, with a solid oak face) work beautifully: stable, time-worn and cut to size on the spot.

Sustainably reclaimed: the stories behind our panels

Every panel is made from wood that has already lived a life: floorboards from old farms, wagon boards from railway wagons taken out of service, wall planks from mountain farmhouses. We collect it ourselves, select it plank by plank and give it a second life in your interior. No new trees, no anonymous factory emissions. Just honest reuse, full of character.

Real, in a world where so much is fake.

Reclaimed oak panels: frequently asked questions

What is the difference between inside and outside panels?

Inside panels are made from the inner face of old oak planks and are lighter in colour. Outside panels come from the outer face and are darker, with more of a lived-in look.

Are the panels solid oak or bonded to a core?

Our oak panels are bonded to birch plywood (inside and outside) or black MDF (wagon board panels), like oak-faced plywood, but with a top layer of solid reclaimed oak. That keeps them from moving with changes in temperature or humidity.

What thickness of oak panel do I need?

For walls and cabinet doors, 20 mm is usually enough. For table tops and surfaces that take a load, we recommend 23 mm.

Can you cut oak panels to size?

Yes. At our warehouse in Lemmer we cut them to the size you need, free of charge.

How much does a reclaimed oak panel cost?

Prices depend on the variant and the quantity you order. Request our price list or visit us in Lemmer for an up-to-date quote.

Do you supply furniture makers and joiners?

Yes. From 12.5 m² we offer bulk prices to trade customers. We work with more than 100 makers across the Netherlands and Belgium.

Is reclaimed oak suitable for a kitchen or bathroom?

Yes, if it's properly treated. We recommend a natural oil to protect it against moisture and dirt.

Can I come and choose the panels myself?

Of course. Half of our customers come in person to feel and choose their wood. Our warehouse in Lemmer is open by appointment.
