SOLID OAK BEAMS
Why Buy an Oak Beam from Country and Coast?
When buying an Oak Beam Fireplace from us rest assured your oak mantel shelf will come from a sustainable forest supply. A forest where more trees are planted than felled. Our commitment is to only use oak from well managed forests and sustainable mills. Our air -dried oak comes from certified PEFC & FSC suppliers only.
Each oak beam is made to order using only the highest quality air dried oak. We start by hand selecting a piece of oak to your exact requirements then handcraft it into your perfect mantel beam. Each edge is hand shaped and finally the oak is finished to your colour preference. We can even colour match to your existing furniture. The oak is sealed with either wax or Hardwax oil with no need for future maintenance.
Every beam comes complete with pre drilled mounting pins for easy installation above your fire.
Finally, we carefully wrap your beam ready for collection with one of our 24hr express couriers. Delivery is completely free of charge to all mainland UK locations.
We put all our effort into Country and Coast making sure that you can get the exact beam you want for your home.

Before & After
4 Steps to your Perfect Oak Fireplace Beam!
Choose your Length
With our smallest oak cuts starting at 3ft running up to 8ft, we can shape and style an oak beam to suit the largest of fireplaces as well as the smallest! Let us help you select the perfect oak beam for your fireplace!
Choose Size
The size of your Oak Beam depends on what style you would like but also ties in with the length. A traditional Solid Beam style will have a larger face and a smaller depth giving the illusion of the beam being sunk into the wall. If the oak beam has a smaller face and larger depth, then we would call this an oak beam shelf. Popular cuts for our beam and oak shelves are 5x4 inches, 6x4, 7x4 and 8x4 . We do also provide square cuts of Oak starting at 4x4 inches running up to our large 6x6 inch cuts. These also look great and are often used as a supporting Beams rather than a floating beam mantel.
Select your style
The all important style! We have three main styles to choose from. Rustic These Oak Beams are hand selected from our stock to have knots, cracks and a lot of character. We then get to work shaping your solid oak beam with heavy shaped curved edges and ends. We can also add saw marks and textured surfaces to give an apperance of an old farmhouse oak beam! Traditional/Classic.These are what most people think of as Oak fireplace beams. Classic beams still have a few cracks and knots but not as prevalant as our rustic style. Edges are curved and sanded smooth to the touch. These are our most popular style. Modern Modern Oak Mantels are finely sanded and planed with slightly rounded smooth edges. Our Modern Oak beams look fantastic in a more modern looking room. A contempory finish with minimal cracks and less knots that the other styles.
Choose your Color
Colour is all down to personal preference and what colours you already have in your room. Here at Country and Coast we are happy to work with you to find a colour that suits. We quite often receive pictures from customers hoping to colour match a peice of furniture with their Oak Beam. Light Oak, is simply finished with our clear Fiddes wax. Medium Oak, We use Danish Oil to bring out the grain and give your beam a warm golden colour. Its then finished with Fiddes clear wax. Dark Oak, Jacobean stain is used to darken the wood and to bring out the grain. We then use Fiddes dark oak wax to leave a dark brown finish with the oak grain brought to life! If you have decided on your Oak Fireplace Beam , get in touch we are happy to help! We are not a timber yard, neither are website company with pre made oak beams. We take the time to make sure that you get a bespoke handcrafted, one of a kind oak beam to take pride of place above your fireplace!
Sustainable Oak
Fireplace Oak Mantel
The enviroment is very important to us here at Country and Coast so much so we only use sustainable Oak beams from certified suppliers of the FSC. The Forest Stewardship Council, this guarantees that all of our oak supplies come from a renewable managed forest.
What is Sustainable Oak?
Sustainable wood comes from managed forests. It’s renewable because the forest keepers manage the landscape to prevent damage to eco-systems, watersheds, wildlife and the oak trees themselves. This practice takes a long term rather than short term view of the resource.
The idea of a sustainable forest is for the trees to soak up carbon emissions and keep our air clean for generations to come. Just as important is creating a wildlife haven for the animals and birds of the forest. A single oak tree can support over a hundred different species, from birds to fungi, insects and mosses. Large scale deforestation can deprive many species of their home and food source, with catastrophic results.
Wood from unsustainable sources, on the other hand, is cut down without a second thought leaving bare areas that, unless they’re carefully treated, never really recover to their former glory.
