Albelda Corbel - Traditional Carved Decorative Concrete Beam
Albelda Corbel: the classic Castilian carving, woodworm-free
Some corbel profiles have been supporting eaves in villages for centuries. The Albelda Corbel brings back that traditionally carved beam end in concrete with the texture and colour of Oregon wood, with an 11 × 15 cm section: all the character of old-style carpentry without the upkeep.
✅ Main benefits
Traditional carving: the classic profile of Castilian eaves, with pronounced wood grain.
Zero maintenance: no woodworm, no termites, no rot, no periodic varnishing.
Two lengths: 100 and 120 cm, to adjust the overhang without cutting.
Generous 11 × 15 cm section: the presence of an authentic beam when seen from the street.
Solid, water-repellent piece: suitable for permanent outdoor use, rain and frost.

🧰 Installation
Mark out the spacing between corbels, 60 to 90 cm between centres.
Mark the bearing: the hidden part is embedded in or rests on the wall.
Set the piece with high-strength mortar or a chemical anchor with a rod.
Prop it up until it has set and check the level and overhang.
💡 Professional tip: when restoring, remove only the damaged wooden corbels and replace them one by one: the Oregon tone blends well with aged wood and the façade keeps its original look.
Frequently Asked Questions
¿Cuántos canecillos necesito para un alero?
Se colocan cada 60-90 cm entre ejes. Divide los metros de fachada entre esa separación y añade los de las esquinas.
¿Qué largo elijo, 100 o 120 cm?
Depende del vuelo del alero y de cuánto se empotre: la parte vista suele ser un tercio o la mitad de la pieza. Si dudas, el de 120 cm da más margen.
¿Parece madera de verdad?
Sí: el molde reproduce la veta y la talla clásica, y el tono Oregón imita la madera tratada. A distancia de calle no se distingue.
¿Necesita mantenimiento?
No. Ni barniz, ni lasur, ni tratamientos contra carcoma. Es hormigón: no se pudre ni se deforma.
¿Cómo se fija al muro?
Con mortero de alta resistencia o anclaje químico con varilla roscada, apuntalando hasta el fraguado. Nunca solo con adhesivo.
¿Sirve para restauración?
Sí: sustituye uno a uno los canecillos de madera dañados y convive bien con la madera envejecida.
¿Aguanta heladas y lluvia?
Sí, es una pieza maciza hidrofugada pensada para exterior permanente.
