Methods for repairing beam splitters
Repairing a split wood beam requires strong structural fixes to ensure safety and durability. The most effective methods involve using steel plates or sister beams to reinforce the damaged area. Structural wood beams—such as floor joists, headers, or main girders—are horizontal elements designed to transfer the weight of the structure to vertical supports. Splits or "checking" commonly occur due to wood shrinkage as it cures, resulting in visible cracks and a reduction in diameter. Rotted beams can have new ends or mid sections made by us as Timber-Resin Splice Kits, or you can buy the resins and bars separately to make your own repairs.
