• The cross-section sizes listed are starting sizes and will reduce by up to 3/4 of an inch after being planed so you may wish to order the next size up to allow for this. For example 6" x 6" starting size will reduce down to no more than approx. 5.25" x 5.25", 8" x 6" starting size will reduce down to no more than approx. 7.25" x 5.25" etc, the length will remain as selected. 
  
• Please refer to imperial sizes (inches and feet) for accurate lengths and cross-sections. Metric dimensions provide an approximate translation.
• Ensure that your beam is taken out of its wrapping immediately after receiving the delivery to allow it to breathe and adjust.
• We do not pre-drill beams as customers will need to ensure that fixings are secured to the wall are in the correct place.
• Customers should satisfy themselves, or check with their installer, that the beams or shelves comply with all relevant fire-safety and building regulations.

Oak is a natural product and therefore each individual piece will be different in appearance and will vary slightly in colour and grain. Our character grade beams may well already contain knots, surface cracks, pinholes and waney edges and cracks would be expected to develop further once they acclimatise to a new environment after purchase. Although our beams are air-dried, it also is not unusual for the oak to develop further shrinkage and movement as it continues to dry and adjust to your property's temperature. If your beam is going to go above a fire, log burner, fire or intense heat, we recommend that the heat should be gradually increased over a period of a week or more if possible. 

All of our oak is PEFC certified, meaning that it is sustainably sourced, and the forest management is environmentally appropriate, economically viable and socially beneficial management for present and future generations.

See our image gallery for a representation of how the different coloured oils will look on your oak beam, bearing in mind that the grain and colour of each piece of wood is different so this is a rough guide only.
