Lumber is widely used in various construction fields due to its strength, reliability, and environmental friendliness. The quality of the material affects not only the durability of the built structure but also how warm and comfortable it will be to live in. You can buy wooden beams in Kyiv in different sizes and grades, with the price set per cubic meter. Below, we’ll explain how to navigate the wide selection of these materials.
What is a wooden beam and what types are there?
A wooden beam is a log sawn on four sides. According to standards, the cross-section can be rectangular or square, and its thickness usually exceeds 100 mm. In Kyiv, beams are available in various sizes, ranging from 40x20 mm to 100x100 mm in section. As for the length, it starts from 2 m and can reach up to 6 m. The price of the lumber is calculated per linear meter.
Depending on the processing quality, wooden beams can be classified as Grade 1, 2, or 3. Grade 1 is the highest and has minimal surface defects. Grade 2 and 3 beams may have some flaws, but they rarely affect performance — mainly just the appearance.
Coniferous wood, especially pine, is most commonly used for producing wooden beams. However, you can also find beams made of linden, aspen, or oak. In addition to sawing and polishing, they undergo drying. We offer the following types of products:
- profiled (horizontal and vertical profiling for tighter joints);
- rough-sawn (budget-friendly option for rough construction work);
- planed (fully processed);
- solid (cut from a whole log);
- glued (wood panels bonded with special adhesive).
These types differ not only in appearance but also in price. Rough-sawn beams are the cheapest. Glued and profiled beams are more expensive but significantly more reliable for construction. To prevent deformation during use, the beams are dried in special chambers and treated with protective compounds.
The main reasons to buy wooden beams in Kyiv include:
- resistance to external factors;
- durability;
- deformation resistance (shrinkage, cracking);
- good thermal insulation.
Wooden beams are widely used in roofing (as ceiling beams and rafters), flooring, frame construction, and furniture production. Each type of work requires specific beam types, so it is best to consult professionals before purchasing in Kyiv.
