oak beams
Heavy ceiling supports
Oak beams are structural timbers cut from oak trees, prized for their strength and durability.
They appear in traditional building construction, particularly in older homes, barns, and churches where they support roofs and floors.
Exposed oak beams have become a coveted architectural feature: The cottage had original oak beams in the ceiling.
The wood darkens handsomely with age.
