Newman Widecombe Beam

These innovative beams have been designed using formulated materials that have evolved using experience gained since 1929 from family members that started manufacturing fireplaces at this time.
Each individual beam and leg are hand made and meticulously finished by craftsmen of great skill achieving the realism for which our product have become renowned.
Much care has been taken to ensure our beams and leg uprights emulate real wood and this can be seen with our authentic finish which even includes all typical markings you would find in an old wooden beam, including shakes, holes and end grain etc.
The realistic appearance of these beams has not been left to chance as each design has been faithfully reproduced from carefully selected timbers originating from ancient buildings.
The beams offer many advantages over natural timber beams, including being fire resistant which is very important when most beams are fixed near to a heat producing appliance. There are strict regulations and restrictions relating to the positioning of natural timbers near to hot fires or appliances, our new formulated beams open up a whole new world of fireplace design possibilities. Also warping and twisting that are normally associated with natural wood beams will be a problem of the past.
This range of designs is expanding rapidly and the talented design team.
The designs really do create a special ambience, a sight to be enjoyed, just add the flickering candle light and a roaring fire and you will be in another cosy world that will be difficult to resist.
