Floorboards made from sawn reclaimed beams are every bit as beautiful as “authentic” reclaimed floorboards — and they offer advantages over traditional boards. There is real beauty because even though the timber started life as a beam rather than a plank, the character is still there, the history is still there, and the craftsmanship brings it all to life.

The Same History, The Same Buildings

Reclaimed beams come from the same old barns, mills, cottages, and historic buildings as reclaimed beams floorboards.

They’ve lived through decades — sometimes centuries — of weathering, settling, drying, and use. That slow ageing process creates rich, deep grain patterns and natural colour variation.

Grain That Has Waited Generations

When you saw into a reclaimed beam, you expose grain that hasn’t been touched for generations. This gives you clean, crisp grain lines with the warmth of reclaimed wood, fewer surface scars, so the floor looks refined rather than overly rustic, and a more consistent finish, which is ideal for more modern or transitional interiors. Reclaimed beams are incredibly stable — they’ve already done all their shrinking and settling. When milled into floorboards, they produce boards that stay straight, with tight, reliable joints.

Authentic reclaimed floorboards can be more unpredictable because they’ve lived a harder life. Sawn reclaimed beam boards give you the best of both worlds: the warmth and authenticity of reclaimed wood with the elegance and uniformity of freshly milled boards, which makes them perfect for homes that want character without looking overly rustic or “farmhouse”.
