We know you have many choices to make in building your home, and when it comes to timbers, let's face it, you've got options.  We want to make your life easier.  Let us show you how VTs could be the best choice you'll make.  So, why VTs? . . .

Beauty 

Wood timbers can greatly enhance the beauty of any home.  For centuries people have been using timbers for decorative purposes.  From a grand timbered entryway, simple planks in a lakeside cottage, rustic beams in the mountain cabin, timbers have many different looks.  Yet the timeless, natural beauty remains in all.  VTs are uniquely made from real wood.  They look absolutely authentic and can be textured and stained just like solid timbers.  

Lightweight and Easy to Install

Having the authentic timber look is now easier than ever!  VTs are only a fraction of the weight of solid timbers.  The lightness of VTs adds minimal stress to the structure that reduces the cost in engineering and materials.  You can add the look of heavy timbers to your home without breaking your back.

Obstacle Solver

VTs offer a solution for common building problems.  You can cover seams/joints, pipes, wiring, rough construction and metal with the beautiful timber look!   

Wide Selection of Sizes

We offer the largest selection of beam sizes available in the industry.  With every beam custom made, VTs save you money by providing the right beam to fit your needs.  Beams can be made 2, 3 or 4 sided.  Our standard sizes are 4"x 4" to 20"x 20" and up to 27' in length.  Larger sizes are available upon request.  Beams can be made to fractional measurements (width and height) and to half-foot increments in length.
