The oak beams used in a Heritage Oak Buildings home are genuine, reclaimed items that connect us with Britain’s proud tradition for building with oak. Having lasted for up to 600 years their reliability and longevity provides for a beautiful and safe home that will withstand the ravages of time and climate.
Not only do our oak beams provide a structural framework for your home, they also give it something which so many modern homes lack – character. The stunning natural beauty of the naked beams complements your choice of interior style, from traditional through to contemporary to give you a truly unique property.
Oak timber has great strength and hardness, and it’s resistant to insect and fungal attack because of its high tannin content. These qualities have made it an ideal construction material for centuries. The high density of oak, of about 0.75 g/cm3, combined with the dryness of reclaimed beams, means they are less prone to movement, thus providing an ideal frame for your home or outbuilding.
