Beams

9 years ago
We just bought a house in the NC mtns and want to "rustic up" the kitchen....these beams would do well. Where can we find beams like these? Are they hard to install? Are these old, reclaimed, or new? Thanks!

    These were made with new wood. They are false beams (hollow inside) in lieu of solid timbers. It is fairly simple carpentry to make them. Each beam was put together with three 1x6" smooth cedar boards. Because cedar can have a high moisture content, the wood was left to acclimate and dry out inside the home for about two weeks before assembly. The joints are mitered on a 45 degree angle then pin nailed and glued. Lastly stained and sealed. It's a great look!

    Our company manufactures high-density urethane u-shaped faux beams that are virtually identical to natural wood beams. They are light weight, easy to install and maintenance free.
