Quick Questions
WHAT IS A WOOD BOX BEAM?
A Wood Box Beam (sometimes called a faux beam) is a non-structural 2, 3, or 4-sided hollow beam meant to look like a solid beam. Our real wood box beams are made from American reclaimed wood and Euro White Oak.
WHAT IS A WOOD BOX BEAM USED FOR?
A Wood Box Beam is used for ceilings and are the perfect solution to hide existing and possibly unattractive elements in a room like structural beams, wiring conduits, plumbing, existing framing and beams, and HVAC runs. A box beam ceiling gives dimension to a room unlike anything else.
WHY SHOULD I BUY WOOD CEILING BOX BEAMS?
The best reason to buy wood ceiling box beams is because they enhance the look, feel, and comfort of any room. Our reclaimed barn wood ceiling beams add unmatched history and storytelling to a room.
WHY USE A WOOD BOX BEAM INSTEAD OF A SOLID CEILING BEAM?
Box Beams are more versatile than solid beam in both weight and dimensional control. A box beam is lighter weight and so it is easier to install; they can be used in more applications and are more controllable in size, shape and straightness than a solid beam. You can specify the width, depth/height, and length of a box beam to the higher degree of accuracy than with a solid timber.
A box beam mantel is the perfect solution where the fireplace mantel location requires fairly precise dimensions. Since a box beam mantel is made to the needed dimensions, going this route will ensure the perfect fit for your application.
HOW MUCH DO CUSTOM WOOD CEILINGS BOX BEAMS COST?
