Frequently Asked Questions

What are the typical uses for West African Iroko Air Dried Beams?

West African Iroko Air Dried Beams are strong and durable, making them ideal for a variety of applications, including:

  • Structural support: roof beams, floor joists, lintels, and other structural components in both residential and commercial buildings.
  • Decorative beams: exposed beams in ceilings and walls to add a rustic or contemporary aesthetic.
  • Garden structures: pergolas, gazebos, arbors, and other outdoor structures.
  • Bespoke furniture and joinery: heavy-duty tables, benches, and other furniture pieces.

What are the benefits of using air dried beams?

Air drying is a traditional method of drying timber that offers several advantages:

  • Enhanced stability: Air dried timber is less prone to warping, twisting, and cracking compared to kiln-dried timber.
  • Reduced shrinkage: Air drying minimizes shrinkage, ensuring that the beams maintain their dimensions over time.
  • Improved strength: Air dried timber often retains more of its natural strength compared to kiln-dried timber.
  • Environmentally friendly: Air drying is a natural process that uses less energy compared to kiln drying.

How does West African Iroko compare to other hardwoods for beams?

West African Iroko is a popular choice for beams due to its:

  • Durability and stability: It is a strong and stable wood with excellent resistance to decay and insects.
  • Natural weather resistance: It performs well in outdoor applications without requiring extensive treatment.
  • Aesthetic appeal: It has a warm golden-brown color that darkens with age, adding character to any project.
  • Moderate price point: It is generally more affordable than some premium hardwoods like oak or teak.

How do I finish West African Iroko beams?

West African Iroko beams can be finished with a variety of products, including oil-based finishes, water-based finishes, and stains. Oil-based finishes tend to enhance the natural beauty of the wood, while water-based finishes are more environmentally friendly. Stains can be used to change the color of the wood to match your desired aesthetic.

For a high-quality and natural finish, we recommend Rubio Monocoat. It enhances the beauty of the wood while providing excellent protection.

Before applying any finish, be sure to sand the wood smooth and remove any dust or debris. Always test the finish on a scrap piece of Iroko first to ensure you're happy with the results.
