Retrofit Composite Wood Beams

Retrofit Composite Wood Beams is a way to have that warm natural wood look while using a composite material that will benefit you in the long run.
This product is designed for both interior and exterior while fulfilling all building requirements.

What are Composite Wood Beams?

Why use Composite Wood Beams?

Composite wood beams are an advanced building material made by combining wood fibers with synthetic materials to create a stronger, more durable alternative to traditional wood beams. These beams are designed to provide better performance by increasing overall strength and consistency. Composite wood beams are prepared to specific standards, ensuring they meet structural requirements for a wide range of construction projects.

Products made from composite wood materials offer numerous benefits over traditional wood, making them an ideal option for residential and commercial projects. With this material you are getting increased durability and strength, as well as a longer lifespan due to the resistance against moisture, insects, and mold. Additionally, this product is lightweight and easy to install. Whether you are working on a new-build or renovation, composite wood beams deliver excellent strength and long lasting products.

Advantages of using Composite Wood Beams versus Traditional Wood Beams

  • Increased Strength: Composite wood beams are typically stronger than traditional wood beams because they are engineered with a combination of wood fibers and synthetic materials, making them more capable of supporting greater weights.
  • Higher Durability and Resistant to Environmental Factors: Composite materials are highly resistant to moisture, which reduces the risk of warping, rotting, or swelling due to wet conditions.
    • This can make composite material a better choice for areas with high humidity or temperature fluctuation.
    • Beams made with composite materials are less likely to be damaged by termites or mold, which are common issues with natural wood beams.
  • Lower Maintenance: Traditional wood occasionally need periodic sealing, staining, or other maintenance to maintain the appearance and strength. However, with composite wood beams being more resistant to wear and tear they do not require regular maintenance.
    • Meaning products made with composite wood materials have a longer lifespan than products made with traditional wood.
  • Quality Consistency: With composite material being manufactured to have consistent properties, this gives uniform strength and dimensions. With natural wood, every piece could potentially be different.
  • Customizable: Composite wood beams are designed to resemble the traditional, natural wood look while providing the increased durability and strength.
    • With that, there is a wide variety of finishes available for composite material products.
