UK Timber is one of the UK's leading stockists of high quality oak beams and oak boards.
We operate nationwide, offering both Air-Dried and Fresh Sawn Oak Beams, as well as Fresh Sawn Oak Boards, Air Dried Oak Boards and Kiln-Dried Oak Boards.
We use Green English/European Oak for our beams and boards, a popular building material throughout England, as it affords great strength and durability, has a high moisture content and offers great resistance to decay whilst requiring no chemical treatments. All of this as well as being maintenance free and eco-friendly.
Here is a comparison of our Oak Beam and Oak Board options:
Fresh Sawn | Air-Dried | Kiln-Dried |
Adaptable for many various projects | Used for framing and restoration | For internal use |
Used where some movement and shrinkage is permitted | Suitable for more sensitive situations | Kiln drying allows the timber to dry uniformly and to the precise moisture content required |
It dries slowly and adjusts naturally | The beams are dried in square sections for 1-4 years | Can be machined to a more superior finish |
Appropriate for projects that require an aged aesthetic | Minimal acclimitisation required | |
Suitable for finishing immediately |
