The beam look, without the weight.

- Faces: Real reclaimed boards

What it is, and why it matters.
A solid timber is heavy and expensive, and many ceilings cannot carry it. A box beam is a hollow beam built from three or four reclaimed boards joined at the corners, so the faces you see are real aged wood while the weight is a fraction of a solid piece.
We build box beams in the lengths and sizes you need, with mitered or butted corners, hand-hewn look faces and optional ends for capped or open runs. Around Nashville, they are a favorite for living rooms, kitchens, covered porches and new construction where structure does not call for solid timber.

Box Beams and Faux Beams: common questions
Are box beams strong?
They are decorative, not structural. They are fastened to blocking or a ceiling nailer, and your builder should confirm how they are supported.
Can box beams hide wiring or lights?
Yes. A hollow beam can conceal wiring for lights and speakers, which many customers love.
