Old beams
Are you working on a renovation or new-build project and want to give the home a warm, authentic and characterful look right away? Old beams are a unique way to add charm to your interior. Our beams are carefully reclaimed from old buildings and farmhouses, giving them a lived-in look that new timber simply cannot match.
The impact of an old beamed ceiling
Wooden beams are often used in ceilings, and for good reason: the solid presence of historic timber changes the whole feel of a room. Old wooden beams break up clean white ceilings and add texture and depth. What makes these beams special is their age. They often show imperfections because many of them are hundreds of years old. Because every beam is different in grain and colour, a ceiling with old beams becomes a distinctive focal point with plenty of charm.
Why choose second-hand old beams?
For a conscious builder, reclaimed old beams are a logical choice. First, there is the sustainability aspect: by reusing timber, you contribute to a circular building process. Old beams also have a technical advantage. Because this timber has already aged for decades, or sometimes centuries, it has largely finished moving. That means the chance of warping or cracking is much smaller than with newly cut wood. Their appearance benefits from this history too. Natural wear and deep timber tones give your project a depth you will not find in new beams.
