Oak Beam Suppliers Shrewsbury

These days finding good quality timber for a new build, restoration or general maintenance applications can be difficult and expensive. Gone are the days when all timber used in construction was of an exceptionally high premium; with shrinking forests and diminishing Timber Suppliers, the cost of better quality materials has risen – and oak is no exception. If you are looking for oak Shrewsbury and the nearby areas then Border Hardwood could provide a cost effective solution. We maintain excellent relationships with our European timber mill suppliers, which enables us to offer high quality oak beams at the right price.

Oak is one of the most prestigious timbers worldwide due to its natural strength, stunningly rich grain and classical associations. Here at Border Hardwood we specialise in providing oak beams of just the right grade and size for the client in hand. We can provide beams with a cross section of up to 20” by 20” and a length of up to 40” as required. However, if your requirements lay outside of this range then get in touch, as we’ve previously provided even larger beams under special circumstances.

Before you make a purchase, it’s essential that you consider the stresses and use to which is will be subjected. Here at Border Hardwood, we undertake both machine grading and visual grading under the BS 5756 standard to ensure that all timber is up to the required task. Our Timber Research and Development Association (TRADA) licence gives customers guarantees that our grading is wholly reliable.

Not only is grading important for safety reasons, it is also a vital aesthetic consideration too. If you’re working on the restoration of a period style property for example, selecting lower grade oak can spoil the image completely and therefore defeat the whole purpose of the project in hand. So for properly and appropriately graded oak Shrewsbury and associated hardwoods get in touch with the Border Hardwood team.
