Installation Info
When you order one of our solid oak Fireplace Beams, you will receive concealed supports included in the price. These supports are perfect for mounting the surround on various surfaces such as stone, brick, and breeze block. If you have plasterboard walls and can locate and fix to the timber studs, you can also use these supports.
To ensure a secure installation, our fireplace beams are crafted with professionally machined holes in the back that perfectly fit the concealed supports. Additionally, we provide detailed fitting instructions with each beam. So you can confidently set up your new shelf with ease. All our beams will come with the fixings located on the largest face. If you would like the fixings to be located on the shorter side please add this is the customer notes section when ordering.

Our Oak + Dimensions
At Cottage Beams, we prioritise sustainability by sourcing oak from responsibly managed forests certified by PEFC.
We are proud to collaborate with two tree planting partnerships, one being the Goosemoor Nature Reserve and the other is called One Tree Planted.
Oak Characteristics
The oak we use, which is either naturally air-dried or kiln dried, possess certain inherent traits. These are the result of the oak's reaction to environmental shifts and forces over time. These traits lend a distinct appearance to the oak and infuse a sense of "character" to every item we manufacture. As a result, each beam or shelf possesses its own unique set of traits and there will be variation between individual pieces. The following are the traits that are naturally found in our products:
Cracks (Checks)
Checks, or cracks that form in the wood, are typically the result of tension stress. These are less common in our kiln dried products and smaller cracks may have been filled.
Knots
Knots, often distinguished by a darker centre and a resin outline, stand out from the grain. They add unique character to the wood and lend authenticity to the timber boards as no two knots are identical.
Medullary Rays
These markings, known as "medullary rays", are a natural feature that enhances the rich character and beauty of all our oak products.
HANDCRAFTED AND UNIQUE
It's crucial to understand that since each of our products is handcrafted, there will be variations between each piece. Each beam or shelf will have its own unique grain pattern, cracks, knots, and splits that add to its natural traits. Please expect some further movement if placed above a heat source.
ITEM DIMENSIONS
Beam sizes might vary slightly due to the machining and sanding process. Please allow for a 10mm variance. These minor differences are not considered defects.
Weight Guidelines
We recommend that each concealed rod fixing for solid walls can hold approximately 15kg; however this will depend on the depth of the shelf purchase and the integrity of the wall which it is installed on. We may use 12mm round bar for any beam over 14cm in depth and 200cm in length
Plasterboard fixings can be installed onto standard12mm to 16mm plasterboard
PRODUCT COLOURS AND FINISHES
We offer a variety of colours however our most common colours are Natural, Warm, White and Dark. Please note colours may have slight differences from one piece to another. Although we try our best to match all colours and finishes, these variations are normal and not considered manufacturing defects.
