FAUX BEAMS - MADE WITH 100% DOUGLAS FIR WOOD
TIMBER BOX BEAMS
The Look of Solid Timber. Without the Weight.
Box Beams are an easy-to-install alternative for any project, whether residential, commercial or otherwise. Same look, texture and feel as full timber frames.
WHAT ARE BOX BEAMS?
Hollow Core. Authentic Timber Character.
Box Beams are often called faux beams or hollow beams because their core is hollow. They weigh substantially less and are easier to install than traditional solid timber elements, yet they are flexible in design and carry the same look, texture and feel as full timber frames.
