Sustainability
These rustic beams possess unique character that give each a one-of-a-kind look. Sourced from trees felled due to either ill health, storm damage or because they have outgrown their intended space, this makes our beams more sustainable option. By reducing the demand for newly harvested wood, helps to preserve forests and reduce deforestation.
