Why Hollowed Oak Beams?

Hollow oak beams are great for covering unsightly steel, brickwork or pipework. Essentially, they will cover up whatever you don’t want to see and, depending on exactly the ‘look’ you require,  give a clean and/or rustic finish to your space.

L Shaped Beams: Where a solid oak beam might be too heavy or wouldn’t work for another reason, L-shaped beams give the appearance of a solid beam. These beams can be used for anything which is visible from two adjoining sides such as a door reveal, window reveal, door head, or window sill.  

U Shaped Oak Beams: U-shaped beams are mainly used to conceal something which is visible on three sides. For example, a steel lintel (RSJ) in a ceiling, or a concrete post or pillar. Once in place no one can tell the difference between these carefully hand-crafted beams and solid oak pieces.

Transform the look of any space by adding a Hollowed out oak beam.

Hollowed oak beams are the more accessible oak beam option on the market. Not only do they have the look and feel of traditional oak, they are significantly lighter, easily cover unsightly metal or wires, and leave a stunning oak beam finish without having to remodel an entire building. One of the most common reasons for choosing Hollowed out oak beams is the weight of the beam. For example, a large solid oak beam could weigh around 240kgs whilst its hollowed equivalent could weigh only around 140kg.
