Beautiful interiors should not come with a heavy environmental cost. At Great American Spaces, the goal is simple: help builders, designers, and homeowners create timeless rooms using eco friendly wood paneling made with responsible sourcing and cleaner, more controlled production practices.
Wood is a renewable building material, and when it is harvested responsibly and finished thoughtfully, it can be one of the most practical choices for sustainable interior materials.
Sustainably sourced pine you can feel good about
Great American Spaces pine products are sustainably harvested and SFI-certified, supporting responsible forestry practices and documented sourcing. SFI certification is designed to track forest fiber through manufacturing via chain-of-custody standards, adding accountability to “sustainably sourced” claims.
That matters for anyone looking for certified sustainable & responsibly sourced wall paneling that still delivers the warmth and character only real wood can provide.
Water-based finishes for cleaner, more controlled production
Sustainability is not only about where wood comes from. It is also about what is applied to it and how that process is managed.
Great American Spaces finishes are eco-friendly, using a safe, water-based finish. Waterborne coating technologies are widely recognized for reducing VOC emissions compared with many traditional solvent-borne systems, which is one reason manufacturers adopt them.
Applying water-based finishes in a controlled facility also supports consistency and containment, reducing the mess and uncertainty of on-site finishing while keeping the process documented and repeatable.
Sustainable shiplap, barnwood wall planks, and reclaimed wood looks without the headache
Sustainable shiplap for walls and ceilings
Shiplap remains one of the most popular options for sustainable wood wall planks, especially for feature walls, ceiling treatments, and full-room interiors. Great American Spaces offers prefinished shiplap designed for easy installation and consistent spacing, helping create that clean, linear look without relying on salvaged boards.
Barnwood wall planks with real-wood character
For the weathered, timeworn aesthetic, barnwood wall planks are a go-to choice. The Easy BarnWood collection is built to recreate the rustic, reclaimed-barnwood look with prefinished boards and a more predictable install experience than sourcing reclaimed material piece by piece.
Reclaimed wood paneling and wood tiles for statement walls
Reclaimed visuals are in high demand, especially for accent installations. Great American Spaces Premium Wood Tiles are made from reclaimed pine and cedar and use real weathered pine with natural variation, giving the finished wall a layered, authentic look.
Responsible cleanup and disposal
Sustainability also includes what happens after finishing: cleanup, containment, and disposal. Great American Spaces uses controlled facility finishing and works with a certified environmental services partner for managed cleanup and disposal.
