HOLLOW BEAMS BUILT WITH SMOOTH TEXTURED RECLAIMED WOOD
Reclaimed Redwood Box Beams
These box beams are fabricated from reclaimed redwood timbers, milled to expose fresh wood and highlight the exceptional quality of this material. Known for its extremely tight, dense grain and remarkable consistency, this reclaimed redwood is considered among the highest grades available, with virtually no knots or sapwood present.
Rather than retaining an aged outer surface, these beams are produced by re-milling larger timber stock to reveal clean, clear wood beneath. The result is a refined appearance that showcases the natural richness and depth of old-growth redwood, making it well suited for high-end architectural applications.
Surface options typically include a bandsawn texture, which adds subtle movement and depth while maintaining a clean overall look. For projects requiring a smoother finish, these beams can also be sanded or fully surfaced, and may be hand-hewn upon request for a more traditional appearance.
These beams are built to order in a wide range of sizes and configurations and can be produced with the same variable surface options as our solid reclaimed redwood timbers, allowing for a cohesive combination of box and solid beams within a single project.
How to order the right size for your project:
To ensure accurate quoting and a successful project, the most important step is determining whether your beams are purely decorative or wrapping existing framing. Please review the options below and let us know when inquiring.
Option 1: Built for decorative purposes only
If the box beam is purely aesthetic, we quote the size based on nominal exterior dimensions.
Information Needed to Provide Pricing:
- (A) Beam Width
- (B) Beam Height
- (C) Length of beam (rounded up to nearest foot)
- (D) Number of sides (2, 3, or 4)
- (E) Quantity (pricing is based on total volume of job)
Interior dimensions will vary based on material thickness and are not considered critical. Exterior dimensions are considered nominal unless specified as exact.
Option 2: Built to Cover Existing Framing
If the box beam is intended to cover over existing framing, the box beam will be built to provided interior dimensions (ID).
Information Needed to Provide Pricing:
- (A) Interior Width (including clearance)
- (B) Interior Height (including clearance)
- (C) Length (rounded up to nearest foot)
- (D) Number of sides (2, 3, or 4)
- (E) Quantity (pricing is based on total volume of job)
Exterior dimensions will vary based on material thickness and are considered “approximate” on the quote.
⚠️ Incorrect interior sizing can result in beams that do not fit. Please ensure dimensions provided to us include enough room to safely cover framing and must include a MINIMUM ¼″ of extra space in both width and height to allow for proper installation.
