    Should you need to is it possible to remove the beam without damaging it or the wall?

    • @celtic_timber
      @celtic_timber  11 месяцев назад

      Hello. With the right tools yes. But if the beam had been in place for a while, it would have naturally moved and tightened around the brackets, making this more difficult.

    Hi, what’s the max weight a beam can be? I’ve just picked up a piece of reclaimed wood that’s 51” long and it’s quite weighty..

      Hi, do you know how much that beam weighs? We use these for some very heavy oak beams and recommend one bracket per foot - but you could use more if you are concerned.

    Didn’t get the name of these brackets didn’t understand what they are called do you have to buy 10mm wall plugs thanks ps my beam is 90mm deep should I order the 55mm or the 80mm

      Hi Paul, they are straight brackets and come with wall plugs. I would advise 80mm if you are confident enough to drill that deep without going through. You can use tape as a marker. Brackets are here - www.celtictimber.co.uk/product/straight-brackets/

    Is it a 10mm wood bit you use for drilling wooden beam

    • @celtic_timber
      @celtic_timber  Год назад +1

      Hi Paul, it is 12mm for drill into the beam and 10mm for the masonry/studwork.

      Could the end of fixings be reduced with a grinder by 10mm the beam I’m going to use is 90mm and the fixings are 80 mm so not much room for a mistake

    What's stopping it falling off?

    • @celtic_timber
      @celtic_timber  4 года назад +2

      A number of factors - the brackets have grips on them, and they use what is called an interference fit. Finally, over time the beam will move and naturally tighten around the brackets. You can use a glue with it too for peace of mind, but it is not necessary.

      @@celtic_timber Thanks, I thought as much. So removing it is just a case of prising it off, eventually.

    Helpful video, but you should really add a text overlay on video or re-record it as I bought a 13mm drill bit and drilled one hole in my beam

      Apologies Brad. We are unable to edit a video once it has been uploaded to RUclips. We have placed that information in the video description and in a card that appears when we mention 13mm in the video.

    Our brickwork chimney breast is finished with dot and dab plasterboard, do these fixings have enough length to pass through the dot and dab safely?

    Hello Celtic
    Just about to order a beam but the chimney breast is covered in plasterboard. Does this actually work over plasterboard? Also would I need adhesive to keep it there initially?
    Many thanks

    • @celtic_timber
      @celtic_timber  3 года назад

      Hi
      In the case of plasterboard, you can fix the beam to strong points in the framework, but it is probably best to consult a local carpenter etc. If you let us know what cross-section and length you are looking for, we can let you know an approximate weight for the beam.
      Thanks

    What kind of brackets did you use?

    • @celtic_timber
      @celtic_timber  4 года назад +1

      Hi, for most size beams, we use straight brackets - www.celtictimber.co.uk/product/straight-brackets/.
      For thinner sizes, we provide keyhole brackets instead
