Why Choose Box Beams for Your Project
Box beams offer the timeless look of solid timber with greater flexibility, lighter weight, and more design freedom. Perfect for both renovations and new builds, they allow you to bring the warmth and presence of wood into any space, even where full structural beams aren’t practical. Our handcrafted box beams are built to elevate the aesthetic of your home or business while delivering practical advantages.
Lightweight & Versatile Installation
Box beams deliver the visual impact of solid wood without the structural burden. They can be installed on ceilings, walls, or over existing framing with ease. Ideal for remodels, vaulted ceilings, and design upgrades.
Seamless Integration for Any Style
From rustic farmhouse to modern minimalism, box beams adapt to your design vision. Each beam is custom-crafted to match your preferred species, stain, texture, and finish.
Hide Wiring, Ducts & Imperfections
Hollow construction makes box beams perfect for hiding electrical lines, conduit, and uneven ceiling transitions while maintaining a completely natural, cohesive look.
Cost-Effective Alternative to Solid Timber
You get the beauty of timber at a more accessible price point. Box beams provide the aesthetic of full wood beams with lower material and installation costs, without compromising on craftsmanship.

FAQs
What are box beams?
Box beams are hollow, three-sided or four-sided timber beams built from high-quality wood. They create the look and presence of solid timber without the weight, making them ideal for applications where structural beams aren’t required.
Are box beams made from real wood?
Yes. Our box beams are crafted from solid wood boards, never faux, vinyl, or plastic. You get the beauty and grain of authentic timber with a lighter, more versatile construction.
Where can interior box beams be installed?
Almost anywhere. Because they’re lightweight and non-structural, box beams work well in living rooms, kitchens, hallways, bedrooms, basements, lofts, cottages, and commercial spaces. They can be installed on flat ceilings, vaulted ceilings, and even used as decorative wraps over existing framing.
Can box beams hide wiring or ductwork?
Absolutely. Their hollow design makes them ideal for concealing wiring, conduit, ducting, and ceiling imperfections, especially in renovations where mechanicals need to be hidden cleanly.
Do box beams look like solid timber?
Yes. When built and finished properly, box beams are visually indistinguishable from full-depth structural beams. We use careful grain alignment, hand-finished joinery, and custom stains to achieve a seamless, natural look.
Can you match an existing finish or style?
We can. Every beam is custom-built, allowing us to match or complement existing woodwork, cabinetry, flooring, or architectural details in your home or commercial space.
How are box beams installed?
Box beams are typically installed over a wooden cleat or mounting structure attached to the ceiling. The beam slides over it and is secured in place, creating a clean, stable, and nearly invisible installation.
