Great Beams are cut from the heart of the oak log and therefore reveal lots of character including knots, splits and shakes.

Great Beams are made from Air-dried Oak ( not available in Prime Oak or Pine )

Every beam is unique and skillful workmanship further enhances the beam with progressive levels of ageing (Rustic, Dressed, Aged and Extremely Aged).

Surface Texture and Ageing

• Rustic Oak is the least aged. The corner of the beams are lightly distressed but the surfaces have a smooth finish
• Dressed Oak have deeply contoured edges combined with smooth surfaces
• Aged Oak has distressing both on the corners and surfaces creating a beam with an authentic aged appearance
• Extremely Aged beams are made to look even older by sculpting, contouring and distressing the face of the beam to give a time-worn appearance.

Each beam is then beautifully finished with your choice of colour. Nine shades are available:

Light Medium Oak

Medium Oak

Medium Dark Oak

Sawn Oak

Silvered Oak

Ebony Oak

Natural Waxed Oak
