Our aluminum beam protectors do just that: they protect your beams. If you buy a brand-new Glimäkra loom (or want a smooth surface on an older beam), there is a chance that the wood used is not quite as hard as Swedish wood from previous decades. The rate at which our world is exploiting its resources has not left Sweden with an abundance of slow-growth hard pine trees to use in their looms. It is a good idea to put these beam protectors in place on your breast beam and back beam in order to protect the loom from grooves created both by the loom cords, and by the warp threads themselves. This is especially important for a rug warp, or other warps under high tension.

Aluminum beam protector

(This movie is silent.)

This aluminum beam protector is very smooth and is molded to fit your beam perfectly. If you are using very fine and delicate threads on an old and rough beam, using the aluminum beam protector will ensure that your warp threads do not snag. Likewise, if you are using hard warp yarns under tight tension, such as linen rug warp on a new loom, the aluminum beam protector will protect your beams from developing grooves.

This movie demonstrates how to insert the beam protector under a warp that is already on a loom. First the warp tension is loosened, then the beam protector is slid into place. In order to secure the beam protector to the loom while no warp is in place, simply tie a string around each end.
