Oak sleepers are a specialisation of Van Biezen Eikenhout. We supply new freshly sawn sleepers, also called sleepers or oak railway sleepers. These sleepers are imported directly from our sawmills in France and Germany. The railway sleepers are untreated and therefore also environmentally friendly. The quality of the sleepers varies considerably. The best quality sleepers are selected for the railways. As the French railways (SNCF) buy them all up, the availability of these sleepers for other purposes is very limited. The quality below is the sleepers we keep in stock as standard. This is a 2nd quality. The sleepers are never knife-edged. This means that there may always be pieces with a knife edge or where the curves of the original oak trunk are still visible. If this is not desired, it is advisable to buy a first-quality oak beam.

Oak used beams

Some applications still require used railway sleepers. These sleepers are treated with black creosote oil, allowing the sleepers to keep for years. In several cases, these sleepers themselves last more than 30 years. We supply the used railway sleepers only in the best quality: German oak sleepers 1st choice. The railway sleepers are used as pasture fencing, corner posts and horse stables. We supply good quality oak railway sleepers at very competitive prices. Nowadays, railway sleepers may only be used for industrial purposes. For this reason, they are no longer sold to private individuals.
