Oak is a natural product and each beam will vary slightly in:
- Colour
- Grain pattern
- Knots
- Surface cracks
- Character markings
Our character grade beams may contain natural splits and checks which can continue to develop as the timber acclimatises.
Although air-dried, oak may continue to shrink slightly as it adjusts to your property's temperature and humidity.
If installing above a fire or log burner, we recommend gradually increasing heat exposure over the first week.
These characteristics are not faults — they are part of the beauty of real solid oak.
