Internal Oak Features
At Altham Oak, we know that smaller internal carpentry elements can still display the results of fine craftsmanship and sound material selection.
Oak Beams
Hand-cut or band-sawn oak beams add character and authentic traditional detailing to a room. Band-sawn beams are usually cut to order from straight trees, are regular with uniform dimensions may not follow the natural curve of the tree. For hand-cut purposes, Altham Oak can make excellent use of the more irregular timbers typically ignored by other companies. Using these timbers, our specialist carpentry skills allow us to create more organic structural forms that look amazing and echo the appearance of hewn beams and feel of many celebrated historic properties.
Decorative Oak Beams
A decorative beam by Altham Oak represents an attractive focal point for any room. The shape and grain of the wood lends a natural textured beauty to a fireplace, for example. Decorative oak beams can also be structural.
Oak Staircases
The bespoke oak staircases we create are stunning individual structures. Regardless of awkward dimensions, irregular inclines and corners, Altham Oak’s master carpenters will strive to select the right timbers to suit the practical requirements of a property and the design vision of the owner. Sometimes a selected bent tree is the only way to do the job.
Oak Floorboards
Beautiful oak floorboards by Altham Oak can be supplied in tongue-and-groove format. To allow for shrinkage and slight variation, we advise that floorboards should be stored in a similar environment to the one in which they’ll be installed, prior to being laid.
