Reclaimed pine beams

When old buildings or sheds are demolished, old pine beams are often released.
The beam wood usually comes from the supporting structure.
Removing the old beam wood is done with extra care these days.
This is because an old beam is highly sought after in the construction and remodeling industry.

Large lots of used beams

An architect or contractor often prefers a batch of beam lumber of similar size and appearance.
A large stock of old pine beams is stored in the factory halls of the old brick factory.
The stock lies dry and includes large, uniform lots of beams.
For example, there is a large lot of old purlins 11×22 cm from Fontainebleau, a lot of 20×25 cm beams from an old tobacco drying plant and old beams 20×20 cm from a demolished hangar.

Hand-hewn beams

Until about 100 years ago, chopping logs with broad axes was the only way to work a felled tree into a beam.
The blows of the axe can still be clearly seen on some of the old beams.
This unusual detail is an indication to us of the age of the wood.

Reclaimed pine beams

If old pine beams are needed for a construction or renovation project, we can probably help.
A wide variety of sizes are available.
Pine is a bit darker in color than spruce; its volumetric mass is also a bit higher.
The wood may have a slight reddish tint to it.

Reclaimed pine beams

In the Netherlands, spruce is the most commonly used type of wood, so scrap wood is also regularly spruce.
Spruce is lighter in color than pine and easy to work with.

Reclaimed American pine beams

Centuries ago, wood was already being traded between continents.
American pine, for example, is regularly found in old canal houses.

Can reclaimed beams be reused in a construction project?

Yes, most pine beams are used in a construction project: the renovation of a farmhouse or the new construction of a home.
The used wood is strong enough to be reused as construction lumber; the reused beams can function well as support beams.
For larger projects, we offer uniform batches of beam lumber.
If an architect or contractor is working with reclaimed materials, it is advisable to first find out about available beam lumber so that it can be taken into account in the detailed drawing.
So visit us in Doorwerth at an early stage of the building process to view beams without obligation.

Canopy or porch made of reclaimed wood

Reclaimed beams are also suitable for constructing a canopy or veranda, for example.
In addition to wooden beams and uprights, old purlins are available.

Interior reclaimed beams

An ornamental beam in a home or office space can create ambiance.
Reclaimed oak beams are beautiful, but old pine beams are also a common choice.

Re-sawing reclaimed beams

Some renovation projects require a certain size.
The old beams can be re-sawn to most desired sizes for this purpose.
For example, an old 20×20 cm beam can be cut to 17×19 cm.

Brushing reclaimed wood

Reclaimed pine beams lend themselves to brushing.
The outer layer is brushed clean with steel and the beam comes back to life.
This operation can be done quite easily by anyone, but of course we can also do it in our workshop.
Another option is to clean the pine beam with just water and a hard brush or broom.

Reclaimed pine beams prices

A heavy, long beam is pricier than a small beam.
