Oak beam cladding with character

Ready-to-fit oak beam cladding is the way to hide pipes, ventilation, steel beams or curtain tracks in style. Where the usual boxing-in is meant to go unnoticed, cladding in reclaimed wood is there to be seen.


At Hout met Historie, we make bespoke beam cladding from authentic reclaimed wood. Not a DIY-store kit or faux wood, but the real thing: durable, full of character and a perfect fit for your interior or project.

What is oak beam cladding?

Oak beam cladding, sometimes called a box beam, is a wooden casing that takes technical elements out of sight. Think of:

  • Steel beams
  • Curtain tracks
  • Changes in ceiling height
  • Exposed beams
  • Ventilation ducts
  • Junctions between wall and ceiling

Beam cladding doesn't just do a job: it adds warmth, texture and atmosphere to the room.

Looking for ready-to-fit beam cladding? We make every casing completely to measure.

Every piece of beam cladding is built from carefully selected reclaimed wood, such as:

  • Reclaimed oak

  • Barnwood
  • Farmhouse oak planks

Our specialists talk through your situation with you, measure up where needed and make sure your beam cladding is ready to fit.

We're happy to advise you on the wood that best suits your project.

Wooden pelmets and beam covers

Cladding a steel beam (RSJ) is a popular use. It hides the beam discreetly and gives you a clean ceiling line.

In reclaimed wood, the casing becomes a design feature you want to see, not a technical fix.

Suitable for:

  • Steel beams
  • Recessed curtain tracks
  • Electric curtain tracks
  • Large windows
  • Luxury homes and hospitality venues
