Solid Wood Beams
We are the nation’s leading source for barn wood solid beams, crafted from antique reclaimed wood. These beams add warmth and rustic charm, perfect for mantels and structural spans, offering a timeless, authentic look while promoting sustainability and durability for any space.
Timeless Elegance with Solid Wood Beams
Solid wood beams are more than structural elements—they are works of art that add warmth, depth, and natural beauty to any design. The rich grain patterns, textures, and patinas of reclaimed wood create a striking visual impact, making solid wood beams perfect for both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Why Choose Solid Wood Beams?
- Unique Character: Each beam tells a story through its knots, grain, and weathered texture.
- Versatility: Ideal for ceilings, mantels, posts, and decorative elements.
- Natural Warmth: Adds a cozy and inviting feel to any room.
What Makes Solid Wood Beams Special?
Solid wood beams are milled from single pieces of antique reclaimed timber, ensuring their authenticity and durability. Unlike box beams, solid beams provide structural support in addition to their decorative appeal. Their solid construction and natural imperfections, such as checks and nail holes, give them a rustic charm that’s unmatched.
Uses for Solid Wood Beams:
- Structural Support: Functional load-bearing elements.
- Decorative Accents: Enhance ceilings, doorways, and fireplaces.
- Custom Features: Crafted to your specifications for unique designs.
Crafted from Reclaimed History
Our solid wood beams are made from antique reclaimed wood, salvaged from barns and buildings over 100 years old. This sustainable practice not only preserves the character and history of the wood but also reduces environmental impact.
Material Highlights:
- Sustainability: Repurposing wood reduces waste and supports eco-friendly design.
- Durability: Seasoned wood is naturally resistant to warping and cracking.
- Authenticity: Aged wood features rich textures, patinas, and unique imperfections.
Rough Sawn (circle sawn)beams are more dimensionally consistent and have a more flush surface than the hand hewn beams as they were dimensions with a saw. These are often used where a more defined angularity is desired. Box beams often replicate these beams because of their more defined square edges.
