  Green Oak is a fresh cut (fresh sawn) oak that has been clear cut in the last 3-6 months, it is of high moisture content and is prone to shrinkage and movement during the drying process.

  Predominantly oak beams are used for decorative purposes, home structures as well as roof structures, the construction of oak framed buildings, bridges and marine structures - they can also be used for an array of external and landscaping purposes. Our ‘Customer Project Gallery’ will give you an insight into the projects where we have supplied our high quality Structural Green Oak Beams.

  Air-dried oak dries more slowly compared with other types of oak. Machine-sawn and straight, it can easily be cut into different precise dimensions. Due to the lengthy natural drying process, the air dried beams will have some surface checking, splits, possibly a little sap and may have a few historic boreholes - all of these characteristics make our Air-Dried Oak Beams one of the most popular ways of adding character to a new build or renovation, as well as not detracting from its structural qualities. Here at UK Timber Limited, we hold huge stocks of Air-Dried European/English (quercus robur) Structural Oak Beams, making us one of the UK's leading suppliers of structural oak beams. Available in most standard dimensions and perfect for all structural beam uses.

  Oak Beam Mantels

  Mantel pieces don't only just provide structural support, they're also a statement piece and usually the focal point of your room, it can define your room and we know it is important to get it right - this is why we give you the option to customise your own. 

  Our Oak Beam Mantels are made to order from partially dried, new untreated oak sleepers and are available in a rough sawn or planed all round (P.A.R) finish. Supplied untreated as standard, you're free to choose an oil that suits your requirements by taking a look at our range of Treatex Hardwax Oils - these hardwax oils are available in various colour tones, finishes and tin sizes.

  As an additional service, if you would like us to oil your mantel piece for you, we can! Our workshop will oil your mantel in a clear gloss, clear matte or clear satin finish; simply add your preference to your basket along with your chosen mantel piece and we'll do the rest for you!

  Are you restoring an old fireplace or do you just love the distressed look/adzed finish? We also offer the following Distressing/Adzing Services: 

  • Small Uniform Adzing - this gives a 'manufactured' look by uniformly distressing the two front edges of your mantel, leaving you with a square edge to go against the wall for firm installation.
  • Random Waney Adzing - this gives you a more natural look. We will randomly distress the two front edges of your mantel, leaving you with a square edge to go against the wall for firm installation.

  Simply add your chosen service to your basket along with a mantel of your choice.

  As our mantels are created from a natural product, each piece will be unique. Made from dried pieces of oak, they will contain surface cracks, splits and knots; there may also be one or two waney edges. As your mantel acclimatises to its surroundings, there may be further surface cracking and splits - adding further character to your beautiful oak mantel piece.

  Our mantel pieces are offered in the following standard section sizes:

  • 100mm x 75mm
  • 125mm x 100mm
  • 125mm x 125mm
