How to use:
STEP 1. Eliminate all dust from the surface.
STEP 2. Spray All Natural Wood Cleaner Spray or Surface Care on the surface.
STEP 3. Rub dry with a mop or a microfibre cloth.
STEP 4. Let the surface dry. Rinsing with clean water is not necessary.
STEP 5. Take the Universal Maintenance Oil and add the Oil Plus 2C component A in the same colour with which the surface was treated before. The correct ratio is 3 parts Universal Maintenance Oil to 1 part Oil Plus 2C (as provided in the packaging set). Mix thoroughly.
STEP 6. Apply a small amount of oil with a brush and afterwards spread out with a red Rubio Monocoat Scrubby pad. Preferably work in areas of 2 to 4 m² (areas which you can finish within ± 15 minutes, including the next step).
STEP 7. Allow to absorb for a few minutes and massage the oil into the wood with a white Rubio Monocoat Scrubby pad.
STEP 8. Wipe away all the excess oil with a Rubio Monocoat Oil removal cloth. The surface should look even.
- The product may not be diluted under any circumstances, unless indicated otherwise in the instructions.
- Stir the product well before application.
- When using several containers, it is recommended to mix them for an even result.
- Maintenance with Oil Plus 2C in the original colour of application is recommended as soon as the treated surface starts to show too much wear.
- Replace the Rubio Monocoat Oil removal cloth timely. If the cloth no longer absorbs sufficient oil, it is time to replace it.
- The WoodCream Brushes can help you with transporting the amount of oil you need to your surface. They are not suited for actually applying the product, but will help you work cleanly and economise the usage. Depending on the type of surface you treat, you should choose either the WoodCream Brush Small or Medium.
- For furniture and stairs we recommend the small brush as it fits into the can of the 80 ml set (this brush is 2.54 cm wide).
- For floors, we recommend the medium brush because with the 400 ml set you are using a cup anyway and a larger brush is more convenient for this type of surface (this brush is 5.08 cm wide).

SUSTAINABILITY
We always use oak sourced from sustainably managed forests who are FSC or PEFC certified. We also plant 1 tree for every £50 spent with us. For our oak beams, this equates to planting on average 120 trees for every 1 used.
GRADING
We only use QP1 and QPA grade structural oak beams which means the angle at which the grain runs is limited, avoiding cracks to run off too severely and weakening the structure. This is equivalent to D24 or higher Construction grade.
CRACKS & MOVEMENT
Our oak beams are well air dried ensuring minimal movement once installed in your home. Read more on The importance of air dried oak. Oak beams vary in regards to cracks and splits. Cracks are a good indication of a dry beam and are part of the stunning unique features a natural oak beam has to offer. Once installed, your oak beam will start to acclimatise to room temperature. During this time cracks may change slightly, this is completely normal and will not affect the structural integrity of the beam. To minimise movement we recommend leaving your beam to acclimatise for 2 weeks prior to fitting. Once installed, gradually increase the heat of your stove over a few weeks.
OTHER DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS
Oak is a natural product, therefore knots, colour, grain pattern and other distinguishing features can vary. Some beams may have small areas of pin holing further adding to the rustic effect, we treat these beams with an anti-infestation solution.
SIZE TOLERANCE
Beam sizes are approximate to +/- 5mm. If you need a length smaller than a standard size please order the next length up and leave a note in checkout to cut it down. Please note, this will make the item non-returnable. Need something more bespoke? Get in touch for a quote.
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL
Oak Beams are a combustible material and should be positioned a safe distance away from heat sources in line with building and HETAS regulations. Installing a beam too close to a heat source may cause excessive cracking and be unsafe. Read more on How far above a wood burning stove can you install an oak beam.
Please note none of the above can be treated as defects.

FAQ's
Do beams come with fixings?
All of our fully finished fireplace beams, with the exception of the 7.5"x5.5" size come with fixings.
Depending on the size you choose we will supply a fixing method to suit your beam...
Beams 3.5" deep or less come with heavy duty keyhole fixings pre-machined into the back of the beam.
Beams deeper than this come with our 12mm concealed fixings and pre-drilled holes.
For 7.5"x5.5" beams you can see the recommended installation method in the installation tab above.
Can I fix my beam to a plasterboard wall?
If you would like to fit solely into a plasterboard wall we recommend a beam which is 3.5" deep or less. These come with keyhole fixings and you will then be able to purchase some plasterboard specific screws and wall plugs that will work in conjunction with these.
We recommend hollow wall anchors. Alternatively if you can locate and fix into the timber studs we can change the pre-drilled hole locations to suit, enabling you to fix directly into the timber studs.
How far away from my stove can I fit my beam?
Each stove will have the safe distance to combustible materials in the manual to comply with HETAS and building regulations. The average distance is around 450mm. The beam must also be a safe distance away from the flue. This distance is usually the flue diameter x 3. You can find more information here > How far above a wood burnign stove can I install an Oak Beam.
Can I have a beam with no cracks?
Although you could specify for us to select a beam with no or minimal cracks, we can not guarantee this. It depends on the stock we have available. If we do find a beam with no cracks, we can not guarantee that it will not crack slightly once installed in a central heated home.
It is typical for air-dried beams to crack and move slightly overtime during that natural acclimatisation process to your home. Cracks are usually a good indication that the beams are well air dried. If you are looking for a beam that does not crack at all then take a look at our kiln dried oak beam.
Can I have a bespoke size?
If you would like a bespoke length, please order the next length up and leave a note in the checkout to cut the beam down.
If the length you need is longer than what is listed or you need a different section size, please contact us and we will be happy to check if this is something we can offer and provide a quote.
Please note that bespoke sizes will make the beam none-returnable.
Which side of the beam are fixings positioned?
Floating Fireplace Beams WITHOUT corbels have the fixings positioned on one on the larger faces. Beams WITH corbels have the fixings on the smaller face.
If you need to change this just leave a note in checkout, however this will make the beam none-returnable.
Surrounds have the fixings positioned on the larger face for the uprights and the smaller face for the mantel to create an overhang.
Where does your wood come from?
In order for us to be sustainable our timber must be too! Our timber is always sourced from reliable and reputable sawmills who are FSC or PEFC certified. We also give back by planting 1 tree for every £50 spent with us.
I can't choose a size, can you help?
Yes of course, feel free to send us a message or even a photo of your fireplace and we will be happy to advise. In most cases it is just down to personal preference but smaller openings tend to suit smaller beams.
