Description
Our air dried oak beams have been air drying uncovered for 5-7 years, allowing the oak to develop rustic cracks and splits complemented by a natural, aged appearance.
Air dried oak is becoming a preference over green oak when it comes to internal beams and lintels, as it less likely to move once it’s in situ.
We can supply our oak beams in a variety of different finishes:
As they are with naturally grey, weathered faces;
Lightly sanded, retaining some weathering and revealing some new timber;
Planed (depending on size) for the customer to sand and finish themselves;
Planed (depending on size) and sanded for a more contemporary look
Machining Service
Oak beams can be supplied square edged or with a chamfer if required. Please contact us for more details.
Finish
Oak beams can remain at a natural, sanded finish if required or we can supply finished with a medium brown wax polish or clear hard wax oil if required. Finishing costs will be priced according to requirement. By finishing the beam, not only does it offer a look of finish and lustre but it seals the timber and makes it easier to clean (if it’s in a reachable position!). We recommend Fiddes Hard Wax Oil or Mylands Wax polish.
Beams 5m+ are charged at a premium.
Other products
