Oak Door and Window Beams

Adding Character with a Window or Door Beam

Expertly cut from well-seasoned, air-dried oak, a door or window fascia is carefully shaped, sanded, and finished to the highest of standards. Developing a natural patina over time, these tasteful additions to your windows and walls help recreate the cosy vibe of a cottage without the structural work needed. 

Why Choose an Oak Fascia Beam?

Enhancing Period Features

If you live in a modern home but crave the heritage style and craftsmanship typical of cottages, barn conversions, and listed buildings, an oak fascia beam can help. This is particularly true of the rustic oak window beam, with the distressed edges and textured surface giving the impression of a time-worn oak lintel.

Framing and Defining Your Interior

Fitted directly above a door or window, an oak fascia beam draws the eye upwards, balancing the room proportions and giving a sense of height.

Complementing Existing Beams

Oak fascias will blend perfectly with other architectural timber details, such as exposed ceiling beams and mantels. You may even be tempted to combine your purchase with oak bracket shelves and dining tables from the rest of our range.

Adding Aesthetic and Practical Value

An oak window or door fascia will provide subtle visual framing, while also protecting your existing plaster or brickwork finishes. Such is our confidence that we offer a lifetime guarantee across our range of door and window beams.

Your Choice of Window Beams

Whether it’s to enhance the aesthetics of an older home, or to bring a traditional aesthetic to a newer build, a window beam helps balance both classic and contemporary design schemes.

Cut from well-air-dried oak beams, shaped, and sanded, the character oak window beam, for example, will give the appearance of a built-in oak lintel above your window.

We also offer a variety of reclaimed timber beams, with a deeply weathered character perfect for period homes or restoration projects.

There are also box beams, made for easy installation around existing structures.

Style and Finish Options

From heavily textured reclaimed window beams to planed contemporary profiles, Traditional Beams caters to a variety of interior styles and tastes.

Each beam goes through our vigorous finishing process, with a choice of colours including:

• White
• Antique Pine
• Medium Oak
• Walnut
• Jacobean
• Black

Penetrating deep into the oak, our stains will ensure lasting colour. Made to seal and protect, our waxes also leave a velvety feel that ages gracefully over time.

Practical Considerations

Complete with concealed keyhole brackets, oak fascia beams can be installed in a matter of minutes.

You simply have to hang the window or door beam from two protruding screws, instantly giving the impression of a built-in lintel.

There’s no issue when it comes to attaching the oak fascia beam to a decorated or plastered wall, with the screws easily slotting into brick, stone, or breeze block.

Please note, for beamsmeasuring 7.5″x5.5″, an additional fixing kit must be purchased. Available from us, this kit includes everything needed for a clean, secure install.

Care and Maintenance

Our tough and durable beams for windows and doors come with a lifetime guarantee for added peace of mind. That said, ongoing care and maintenance are vital to preserve their charm and condition.

You should give the oak fascia beam a regular dust with a soft, dry cloth or feather duster for the effective removal of dirt and debris. Periodic deep cleaning is also advised, using a slightly damp cloth and mild wood cleaner.

The colour and lustre of the beam above a door or window can be preserved through occasional re-waxing and oiling, in accordance with product-specific guidance.

Just be sure to follow the our instructions, gently buffing the surface with a soft cloth for the desirable shine.
