Non Combustible Smooth Beam Range
The Non Combustible Smooth Beam Range offers a modern and practical alternative to traditional timber fireplace beams, combining the appearance of natural wood with the safety of a fire-resistant material. Designed specifically for use with stoves and fireplaces, these beams allow reduced clearance distances while maintaining a stylish focal point within your living space.
Manufactured from a high-density mineral composite, non-combustible beams are designed to withstand high temperatures without igniting. This makes them ideal for installations where a solid wood beam would not meet current safety regulations.
Modern Smooth Beam Design
The Non Combustible Smooth Beam Range features clean lines, straight edges and subtle grain detail, creating a contemporary look that works perfectly in both modern and traditional interiors. Unlike heavily aged or rustic beams, the smooth finish provides a refined and minimalist appearance, making it a popular choice for modern fireplace designs and media wall installations.
Each beam is carefully moulded from real timber, capturing the natural detail and texture of wood while offering the durability and consistency of a manufactured product. The result is a highly realistic beam that is difficult to distinguish from genuine timber.
Safe for Stove Installations
One of the key advantages of the Non Combustible Smooth Beam Range is its suitability for use above wood burning and multi-fuel stoves. Because the material is non-combustible, it allows the beam to be installed closer to the heat source compared to traditional wooden beams, helping to meet building regulations while still achieving the desired aesthetic.
This makes it an excellent solution for homeowners who want the look of a timber mantel without compromising on safety.
Realistic Timber Effect
Although these beams are not made from real wood, they are designed to replicate the appearance of natural timber in great detail. Using moulds taken from real beams, each piece includes subtle grain patterns and texture, finished in a range of colours to suit different interior styles.
The hand-finished surface enhances the natural look, ensuring the beam complements both classic fireplace surrounds and contemporary stove installations.
