Frequently Asked Questions
How thick is the material?
The final thickness of our slab material is 13/16”, 9/16” being plywood, with a ¼” hardwood laminate.
What is the maximum length of a beam?
The maximum length is approximately 24 feet before a splice is necessary.
What is the maximum width & height?
The maximum width and height of a beam is approximately 16 inches before a splice is necessary.
Why type of material do you offer?
While we occasionally use white oak, doug fir; pine is our wood of choice because it is readily available in extreme lengths, preventing us from having to create splices when beams in excess of 20 feet are desired. It also is one of our favorite woods to get reclaimed material from.
Do we offer finishes?
Our beams are delivered without a finish, as they are ready to install in their naturally unfinished state.
Mantels and Shelves can be stained in house, see our products for options.
Are the beams structural?
No, they are not load-bearing, but they are perfect for covering up structural eye sores while offering a lighter product with the same look as solid beams.
Can they be used outside?
Only if they are installed in a covered area, as our beams are not intended to be exposed directly to the elements.
What is the turnaround time?
