profiled oak beams are beams that have been hollowed out in order to camouflage RSJs. The beam must be at least 7cm (2.5in) wider and deeper than the RSJ so that it retains its strength
once hollow
- profiled beams are generally to order only, though we carry a limited stock of both reclaimed and air-dried beams
- there should be a 2.5cm (1") gap between the profiled beam casing and the RSJ steel
- air-dried beams lend themselves to the profiling process
as they are straight and consistent in
width along their length
- air-dried oak beams can be aged by smoothing
the edges, or even chamfering and taking some
well placed 'scallops'out along the beam prior to
being waxed, oiled, whitened or blackened to suit
the particular project
- profiled beams cost from £35 per cubic foot,
plus an additional £35 per cubic foot for the cutting
and hollowing-out process. Cleaning, de-nailing and finishing
costs £17.50 per
cubic foot. All plus VAT
