Recovery beams

“Old houses included an interior structure often made with beams and consequent wooden floors. Time, weathering, and even condensation and rain infiltration may have undermined the original strength of these elements.In these cases, careful and comprehensive renovation work can restore the materials to their natural structural strength. To carry out this work, it is essential to seek professional advice, which is based on an assessment of the structure of the beams and the health of the wood. The assessment may lead to a request for surface restoration or the need to change the existing beams with different elements. Antica Edilizia di Thomas De Vecchi specializes precisely in the recovery of antique building materials: our warehouses located in the province of Treviso store more than 8,000 antique salvaged beams in various woods, shapes and sizes, reaching up to 15 meters in length.

Salvaged beams come mainly from northern Italy and have been worked, nurtured and restored to become the structural basis of homes that require it. The use of reclaimed beams is possible only after careful conservation restoration work. This is a precise work, aimed at bringing back the ancient splendor of the elements, which are offered in all their newfound splendor to embellish residential spaces, hospitality facilities and professional environments.”
