Important please note the following before purchasing;
As Oak is a natural product each piece may be different in appearance and slightly in colour. Our character beams may already contain surface cracks, knots, pin holes, & waney edges. Although air dried to the Pembrokeshire Climate, it is not unusual for the oak to develop further shrinkage, movement, splits and cracks as it acclimatises to your properties temperature. We recommend that if the beams are going above a log burner, fire or any intense heat, that the heat should be gradually increased over a period of a week or more if possible.
All of the above points will not be accepted as defects.
As character beams, all of the above only enhance the beautiful natural characteristics of the oak.
Once received please unwrap the oak as soon as possible to allow the
wood to breathe – failing to do this may cause watermarks and mould to grow on
the surface of the oak. We advise fitting the beam and fixing it in place within
2 weeks from receipt to limit movement and twisting.
Finishes explained – Please take note of the important info.
Planed & Sanded (PAS) – Planed and then sanded by hand to a super smooth finish, all edges will be sanded smooth following the natural shape of the individual beam. As the beam is being planed the finished size can reduce by up to 20mm. Colour is generally light blonde oak, although it is not uncommon for it to be a slightly darker brown.
