From pure structure to refined finishing: oak remains a timeless value. That is why, at Carpentier, you will find oak beams for projects where strength, appearance and bespoke work all need to come together. We supply both fresh and air-dried oak beams, suitable for use in outbuildings, trusses, wooden gates, fencing, water works and restorations.
Our stock includes both fresh and air-dried oak beams, available in various qualities. This way you can match the material to the application, the desired look and the technical requirements of the project.
Air-dried oak has the advantage that much of the movement has already disappeared from the wood. Do bear in mind that our air-dried oak beams have been sawn for at least one year, with no guarantee of a specific moisture percentage.
Standard sizes are not always enough. That is why we re-saw oak beams to exactly the dimensions you need. In our sawmill we can also plane or fine-saw, even with larger sections.
In addition, plenty of extra processing is possible. Think of CNC machining, brushing or charring, entirely tailored to the project. This way you don't just get a beam, but an element that is ready for installation or exposed work.
In addition to new oak beams, we also have a fine assortment of reclaimed oak beams. These are particularly suitable for restorations of protected heritage and historically valuable buildings, such as abbeys, monasteries and town halls.
For these royal stables, we supplied four lorries with exceptionally large sections of air-dried oak beams.
The unique quality and quantity were perfectly suited to the oak trusses of this prestigious project, which is beautifully captured in the video alongside.
