Beams, boards and original wood flooring for timeless renovations Antique wood recovery and reclaimed parquet
For over twenty years, Helix has been a reference point in Piedmont and Turin for the recovery of original and authentic building materials. Among our most sought-after offerings is wood recovery: antique beams, reclaimed parquet, solid wood boards and rustic joinery—all elements that reflect the history of early 20th-century Italian architecture.
Each wooden piece is hand-selected from civil, rural or industrial buildings slated for decommissioning, preserving its original patina for use in vintage restorations, rustic interior design, or sustainable renovation projects.
